About Old Costume Jewelry

I come from a European backround, my parents being from Russia. My father was an engineer as well as a master watchmaker and jeweler when he came to America. He had a love for for quality items and he was so talented at what he did that people from all over the world would send him their clocks and watches to restore, especially rare items which had to have parts made by hand. Early on I studied china painting eventually becoming a professional artist in that field, with watercolor following soon after. But jewelry was always a passion for me and it became my main interest. Especially the wonderful costume jewelry pieces with the exciting variety of materials that were used to create them. There are too many delightful, fun, even zany pieces, as well as the breathtakingly beautiful ones. One can never lose interest as a collector in such a diverse field. Now we want to offer our finds to you. I buy only the best and strive to find and buy purist pieces in excellent condition. Sometimes I have to pay a bit more for a piece, but you can be assured that it is excellent quality.
