Hello I'm Lee and I have been collecting and selling costume jewelry off and on for a few years now - still so much to learn and discover. My favorite things to collect are Brooches (* and marbles! ) There is something I would love to see done would be a complete list of costume jewelry makers marks with PHOTOS of their marks (*including the back of the item) along with photos of nonmarked items with photos to show what identifies the item to a specific maker that didn't use a mark when they made them. Ex: figure 8 on the back of items is related to one maker - and inverted stones to another (*can't remember either maker at moment.. <smh>. I hope to absorb and learn from fellow members and be able to enhance my knowledge of costume jewelry makers. I've lived on the west coast and currently now on the east coast.
