Buyers Bedazzled by Costume Jewelry

Costume jewelry is usually made of non-precious metals and other materials, but designer-signed vintage pieces can sell as high as fine jewelry made of gold and silver. Jewelry created by famous mid-20th century designers Coco Chanel and Miriam Haskell sold well at auction in Connecticut. If you’ve got a drawer full of vintage costume jewelry with pieces like this Miriam Haskell necklace, dig it out and see recent prices and photographs.
