Why I Wrote the "True vs. Fake" Series by Barbara Schwartz

TruFaux Jewels True or Fake header v2a

Never before has the phrase “buyer beware” been so meaningful. As a long-time vintage jewelry reseller through TruFaux Jewels (and avid collector), like you, I’ve greatly benefited from frequent perusing of my favorite sites. It embellishes my understanding of vintage costume jewelry, and it has taught me a lot about how to view descriptions and pictures with a critical eye.

I’m dismayed at how much misinformation is presented, especially about vintage costume jewelry. Some people just don’t know about what they’re trying to sell or haven’t taken the time to find out. Others are simply unscrupulous. All buyers and sellers suffer from this plague because it builds mis-trust.

Boucher Rhinestone and Pearl Floral Brooch   - Courtesy of Linn's Collection

We invite you to join us for a new VFG workshop on our public workshop forums. This workshop will be conducted by VFG member Linn Alber of Linn’s Collection. The workshop will cover Vintage Costume Jewelry:1920s-1960s.

Join us October 18-22 for this 5 part workshop series. A little sneak preview of what you might expect to see in the photos below: a beautiful Boucher floral Brooch with rhinestones and pearls and a stunning Trifari fur clip from 1940, with ruby cabochons and blue moonstones!

Even when the “live” workshop is over it will remain a wonderful and valuable resource for vintage costume jewelry.
