Jewelry-Choice

Terri Malone sells antique jewelry, particularly Victorian-era pins, pendants, earrings, and rings. She has a website of her own and uses eBay for those pieces she feels will sell for a decent price there. She finds the pieces she sells everywhere she goes. When she visits a particular restaurant that has a showcase where people can display jewelry, she often finds buys that yield a good profit. She recently paid $20 for a pin that was set with diamonds and was designed by a famous designer. She sold it for $500 on her own website. She regularly frequents estate sales; some of her best finds come from that source. Estate-sale managers and even the heirs of the person whose estate is for sale are often unaware that they are selling a valuable piece. She even goes to yard sales if she has reason to suspect that there will be potentially valuable pieces of jewelry for sale.

Costume jewelry is used specifically to dress up an outfit. Sequins, beads, and brooches are some examples of costume jewelry. People tend to look down on costume jewelry and dismiss it as cheap trinkets and baubles. The fact is that costume jewelry is a very popular form of jewelry and its low price should not be held against it.
