While in Argentina a few weeks ago I visited several second hand consignment shops and boutiques. In fact I began writing a post about it and never finished it.
Anyways, in one of those stores as I browsed the costume jewelry I spotted several pieces that called my name. I asked the vendor if I could see them and the moment I held them in my hand I knew I'd hit jackpot: vintage designer costume jewelry for crazy low prices. I think they did not even know they were designer.
Today I am wearing two of the pieces I discovered that day: a brooch and matching earrings by Givenchy.
Have you ever come across any vintage designer costume jewelry at good prices? What was it?

Woo! That is such a great find! It's a bit hard to see the details here, but I'm assuming they are stamped on the back?
I have a Givenchy necklace (likely from the 80s) that I picked up for $5.00 at a vintage fair - they did not see the stamp on it! I've also found Sherman crystal jewelry for under $10 a piece - Sherman isn't really known outside of Canada, but it's incredibly lovely and well-made. My Ambush "claw" jewelry is very high-end (gold-plated silver) designer and was a fraction of the original cost, although not in the cheap range at all ($500 for both pieces).
Oh, and we can't forget my Fendi "guitar" belt - $19.99 in the thrift store (and they knew it was Fendi - that was priced high for them). Not really jewelry, but in the accessory lane.
They are great finds and I love the touch the pink gives to your outfit! I wouldn't have any idea what to look for with designer jewellery! I found an authentic Balenciaga clutch bag buried in a big big of clutches once, I recognised the tiny corner peeking out. That's probably my best find!

I wish! Those are so pretty and were great finds!
Tu ojo! Siempre te encuentras con estos tesoros. Creo que lo mas cercano que he estado es cuando fuimos a JQB jajaja
I'd be one of those that had no idea it was designer!! But how fabulous they both are!!

I’m still on the lookout for vintage custom jewelry that’s not super overpriced.... I would love a Gucci or Chanel vintage piece.
