Question 1

What costume jewellery brands do you buy?

Accepted Answer

We purchase designer costume jewellery from brands like Chanel, Dior, YSL, Givenchy, Trifari, Miriam Haskell, Weiss, Eisenberg, Coro, and many others. We also buy quality unsigned pieces, especially vintage items with unique designs or high-quality craftsmanship.

Question 2

How do you value costume jewellery?

Accepted Answer

We consider the designer/maker, age, condition, rarity, and current market demand. Signed pieces from known designers typically command higher prices. Vintage pieces in excellent condition, complete sets, and rare designs are particularly valuable. We also look for quality materials like Austrian crystals, good plating, and intricate workmanship.

Question 3

Do you buy damaged costume jewellery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we often purchase damaged pieces if they're from desirable designers or have restoration value. Missing stones, broken clasps, or worn plating may affect value but don't necessarily exclude items. For bulk lots, we accept mixed conditions as long as the overall collection has value.

Question 4

What about bulk collections or job lots?

Accepted Answer

We regularly buy bulk costume jewellery collections, from small boxes to entire estates. We sort through everything, identifying valuable pieces and offering a fair price for the entire lot. This service is particularly helpful for house clearances or when dealing with large inherited collections.

Question 5

How can I identify valuable costume jewellery?

Accepted Answer

Look for designer signatures or marks, quality construction, unique designs, and good condition. Heavy pieces with secure clasps, prong-set stones, and detailed metalwork often indicate quality. Vintage pieces from the 1920s-1960s are particularly sought after. We can help identify valuable pieces during our assessment.

Question 6

What's the difference between costume and fine jewellery?

Accepted Answer

Costume jewellery uses non-precious materials like base metals, rhinestones, and glass instead of gold, silver, and gemstones. However, quality costume jewellery, especially designer and vintage pieces, can be highly collectible and valuable. Some signed designer pieces can be worth more than basic gold jewellery.
