Why buy and wear vintage costume jewelry?  Vintage costume jewelry is perfect for a number of reasons.  Trends, cost and quality are at tops on the list of many reasons to buy and wear vintage costume jewelry.

• Trends - we all know (if we've been around a while) that trends come and go.  What is hot this season is a "not" the next.  Jewelry trends are exactly the same.  Unless something new pops up (which doesn't happen too often) jewelry is just like fashion and has seasons.  Acquiring vintage jewelry is perfect for following the trends....it sets you apart.  You can still follow the trends, but you can do so uniquely and you won't be caught wearing the same necklace your co-worker is because you both picked it up at the local department store. 
• Cost - one trip to the department stores and the prices of the jewelry knocked me out.  Spend your money on the current clothing trends and purchase much lower cost  jewelry by buying vintage!  A great way to stretch your budget and stay in style.
• Quality - vintage jewelry tends to be higher quality, with better materials and craftmanship.  Many vintage pieces were made to rival their counterparts in fine jewelry and features stunning hand set, hand selected rhinestones.  Of course there is differences in quality but as a rule much of the vintage pieces are higher quality.

Be unique.....stay current with the trends....save money!  Start or expand your collection and you'll always have the perfect piece to wear with both your everyday and special clothes.
