A few of the ideal places to seek out wonderful classic costume jewelry are thrift retailers. You've seen the large stores - Goodwill, Salvation Army, Savers...and after that you will find the charity retailers operate by church buildings and non-profits. All of these obtain donated jewelry, and i have found some incredible pieces in thrift retailers. It appears to me that the larger sized chain retailers have superior selling prices than the smaller charity retailers, but it seriously depends upon that's pricing the jewellery whenever they put it out available. Some shop workforce are very savvy about values, but some usually are not plus they often price jewelry extremely minimal. Possibly they figure that if it isn't real gold it isn't really worth significantly. Very good for us!
