We appreciate your understanding of this. 💚 We strive to present items as clearly as possible through photographs on the page. Please inspect the images and descriptions carefully. 💚 Vintage jewelry inherently carries the marks of its age and history; it has been touched by time and will likely show signs of use. 💚 The styles of jewelry in our shop are not altered (e.g., clip-on earrings will not be converted to post earrings). 💚 For those new to "Vintage Jewelry," we kindly ask you to consider carefully before making a purchase. 💚 If an item arrives damaged and is unwearable, a refund can be issued. However, returns or refunds will not be accepted for reasons such as the item not matching your imagination, discrepancies in size or color, or damage not incurred during shipping. _______________________________________________ **About the Brand:** Avon began its journey in 1886. Initially representing perfumes, it historically offered women the first opportunity to earn money by doing something they loved. Representatives provided cosmetics and fragrances, and in 1963, a piece of jewelry was offered as a gift with purchase. In 1970, due to numerous customer requests, AVON launched its own jewelry line – AVON Jewelry. The company's first collection was called The Precious Pretenders. Extensive advertising campaigns in the United States made these costume jewelry pieces incredibly popular among women. AVON Jewelry holds a significant position among beloved jewelry manufacturers. Collectors of vintage costume jewelry particularly favor pieces released in the 1970s. Notable brands that collaborated with AVON include Ungaro and Swarovski, Centennial, Trifari, and WN. In the 1990s, Hollywood film star Elizabeth Taylor collaborated with the company's designers to release several lines of jewelry named after her. Even today, AVON jewelry continues to delight women with its quality and affordable prices.
