Searching for Treasure - How to Discover Affordable Vintage Fashion Jewelry Online

The great news is that the internet has revolutionized the activity for collectors. There is so much gorgeous jewelry out there. It is incredibly exciting. Before you go crazy, I want to share some advice on how to get the most out of treasure hunting online.

Searching for Treasure - How to Discover Affordable Vintage Fashion Jewelry Online

The first and most important thing to consider when starting out is your budget. There is no point allowing yourself to fall In love with a gorgeous piece of jewelry that is completely out of your price range. Once you have decided what you want to spend, narrow your options down to a period and a style of jewelry that genuinely interests you. You will want to take some time to do some research of course, but ultimately, if you are looking for pieces that make your heart happy, that should be your priority.

I suggest that you start small. It is far easier to learn if you make a few, inexpensive purchases. This will familiarize you with vintage jewelry shopping. The sense of satisfaction you will feel, once you are really collecting, will be priceless. More importantly, you will start to gain valuable experience.

According to Beth Bernstein, a jewelry historian and collector, who wrote an article on collecting vintage jewelry for Forbes, practice really does make perfect when it comes to antique jewelry. She says,

“You might not make the wisest decisions at the start. In a few years, you might trade up, your style might change, but while all this is happening, you are gaining knowledge firsthand, teaching yourself how to bargain and barter and listen to your instincts about the most honorable dealers.“

Ruby Lane is the go to site for anyone looking for inexpensive vintage jewelry, and is considered the Etsy of antique and vintage jewelry. It is a user friendly and safe space to learn. My advice is to jump right in, start looking and before you know it you will be able to accessorize your favorite outfits with gorgeous statement pieces that express your inner fashionista.
