Vintage costume jewelry exhibit at train Creative

Sparta — Inexpensive and cheerful once described most fake fashion jewelry. Fabulously affordable, glamorous and well-made is what makes vintage costume jewelry so highly collectible today. The costume jewelry industry has been thriving for more than a century and it’s likely that you have one or many pieces of costume jewelry that could have more history than you know.
