Costume Jewelry

The first vintage costume jewelry was fashioned in the 1700’s by skilled gem cutters in Bohemia, now known as the Czech Republic, who produced high quality imitation gemstones. Often constructed of base metals, antique costume jewelry was created to emulate passing fashion rather than to endure. As the 18th century progressed, silver plating techniques were developed in Sheffield, England; and in Providence, R.I. during the early 19th century the same methods were applied to produce gold filled or rolled jewelry.
