We ask for your understanding regarding this. 💚 We strive to present items clearly through photographs on the listing page. Please also examine the images and descriptions with care. 💚 Vintage jewelry is, by nature, an item of age. Having weathered the years, it will inevitably bear signs of use. 💚 The jewelry in this shop will not be altered; for example, clip-on earrings will not be converted to post earrings. 💚 For those new to "Vintage Jewelry," we strongly advise you to consider carefully before purchasing. 💚 If an item arrives damaged and is unwearable, a refund can be requested.

Initially known for perfumes, it was the first company in history to offer women the opportunity to earn money by doing what they loved. Representatives offered cosmetics and fragrances, and in 1963, a piece of jewelry was given as a free gift with a 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-scale advertising campaigns in the United States made these ornaments very popular among women. AVON jewelry holds a significant place among favored jewelry manufacturers. Collectors of vintage costume jewelry cherish products 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.
