Initially representing perfumes, it offered women an unprecedented opportunity to earn money by doing something they loved. Representatives initially sold cosmetics and perfumes, 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. Large advertising campaigns in the United States made these costume pieces incredibly popular among women. AVON jewelry holds a significant place among beloved jewelry manufacturers. Collectors of vintage costume jewelry particularly cherish 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 on several jewelry lines named in her honor. Even today, AVON jewelry continues to delight women with its quality and affordable prices.
