Antique & Vintage Costume Jewelry Price Guide

Are you looking for some help determining the value of a piece of costume jewelry? If so, then you’ve come to the right place!

I’ve put together a guide containing photos and suggested values based on the jewelry that I’ve owned and/or sold myself. I hope it will at least point you in the direction of discovering what your piece may be worth.

Until the 20th century, jewelry was primarily worn by women of means, but with industrialization and the discovery of new materials, jewelry began to make its way into the homes of all classes of women. The use of plastics and non-precious gemstones made “costume” jewelry affordable for almost anyone.

Top designers, like Chanel, began designing lines of costume jewelry that reflected their personal design style. Look for pieces with haute couture names, along with jewelry designers like Marion Haskell, Trifari, and Eisenburg.

Jewelry made from early plastics like Bakelite and celluloid should be snatched up, along with sterling silver charm bracelets and anything unusual.
