Go Green by Buying and Wearing Vintage Jewelry
Buying and wearing pre-owned vintage jewelry reuses and recycles valuable material.
Buying vintage jewelry reduces manufacturing processing; it was already made years ago.
Buying vintage jewelry supports small businesses.
Many vintage jewelry pieces are rare and one of a kind so you can still wear beautiful jewelry and be environmentally friendly at the same time.
Rhode Island was once the ” Capitol of the World ” of costume jewelry manufacturing, therefore much of the vintage costume jewelry around today was made in America.
Many jewelry manufacturers of the past used high quality materials and had high standards for craftsmanship, which is why you can still find vintage jewelry in excellent condition today.
Many costume jewelry manufactures of the past hired famous jewelry designers, such as Trifari, Alice Caviness, Bogoff, Kramer, Krementz, Lisner and many more. Jewelry collectors have been buying up these ” future heirlooms “ for years.
Many of the famous jewelry designers of the past created such ingenious designs that their styles are timeless. Vintage jewelry comes in all styles; from funky to classic, from glitzy to tailored to simple elegance. A lot of pieces can be found that are as contemporary today as the day they were made.
Much of vintage jewelry today is considered art or at the very least a feast for the eyes.
A vintage necklace, bracelet, brooch, ring or a pair of earrings makes a fashion statement that will be sure to get compliments.
Until Next Time

You’re right, buying used is the way to go! And vintage costume jewelry has stood the test of time. You know that it’s not going to peel or discolor any time soon.
YES !
You are so right.
My Mom has a huge vintage jewelry booth in our hometown of Hubbard Ohio.
I tell folks who stop by her booth that wearing vintage jewelry is a FUN way to be “green”.
I even wrote about it in the website that I made for her – LOL
It is wonderful to wear something that is 50 years old or more and still looks like new !
Style and Class all the way !

WOW this is really something to think about which many I bet have not thought much about. Yes Vintage Jewelry is Eco Friendly!
Thanks for the insight.
Great Post!
I love vintage jewelry. Thanks for an informative article. Never thought of vintage jewelry as being eco friendly too.
I agree with you Sally. While my kids are still young, and don’t care, I buy their clothes from consignment shops and craigslist. Most of their toys are gently used too when I get them. Cuts down on production, and all of the excess packaging.
great , that is correct and vintage jewelry is great and something to use for stocking stuffers
