Initially known for fragrances, Avon was also a pioneer in offering women the 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 popular demand, 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 pieces incredibly popular among women, securing Avon Jewelry a significant place among favored jewelry manufacturers. Collectors of vintage costume jewelry particularly appreciate pieces released in the 1970s. Notable brands that collaborated with AVON include Ungaro, Swarovski, Centennial, and Trifari. In the 1990s, Hollywood actress 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.
