We are close friends who together share a passion for the addictive world of vintage costume jewellery- timeless and often unique pieces which reflect the glamour and beauty of a bygone era. Between us we have over 30 years experience in luxury brand retail, and so decided to pool our knowledge and enthusiasm together to create V&A Vintage Costume Jewellery. We only source pieces which are genuinely signed with the maker s mark , thus giving our customers the chance to own not just a piece of beautiful jewellery, but also a little piece of history.
Classic vintage costume jewellery pieces are often described by collectors as miniature works of art. Unlike furniture or paintings, they are unique treasures that can be used to express one’s personality while being worn. Fine jewellery often lives unseen and unworn inside a safe, whereas costume jewellery is out in the world as personal adornment.’
