<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 427562, member: 36"]The pendant is late 1980s to early 90s costume and not good quality. I'd have pegged the festoon piece as far later; if we could see the clasp it would be easier to tell. It's a style that was made in several eras, but those rhinestones and the goldtone color mark it as later rather than earlier. </p><p><br /></p><p>As others have said, not all costume goes cheap. I sold a piece of Chanel jewelry, not old and with some damage, for at least $300 more than I paid for it. That was about a year ago. Old pre-WWII Trifari can go for absolutely SILLY money, among others. Sherman rhinestone pieces, some D&E pieces, etc all go for eye-popping amounts. It all depends on who's looking and who wants it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
