All vintage costume jewelry is highly collectible, but definitely at the top of the list is the beautiful and whimsical area of Figural jewelry - in other words, jewelry that is shaped like a person, animal, object, etc. Figural pieces are quite often pins or brooches, but you can also find pendants, earrings, charms, sweater clips, and other types of jewelry.
Figural jewelry has all the makings of the perfect collectible - there is a huge variety of shapes, sizes, materials and makers, in price ranges for every budget - and they are fun! From beautiful, to unusual, to downright quirky - there is something for every style and taste!
When collecting or buying for resale, condition is key - as always! If you find a piece that is in great condition (no missing stones, no scuffs or scratches) but is dirty, a careful cleaning will do wonders - here is a great guide to caring for vintage jewelry.
