About Avon
Avon, founded in New York in 1886, became famous for bringing beauty products to women’s doorsteps. From the early 1970s it also sold costume jewellery through its network of ‘Avon ladies’, growing into one of America’s largest jewellery lines — well-made, wearable designs that are popular with vintage collectors today.
Provenance & authenticity
Every piece is checked for maker’s marks, construction and materials before we list it. Anything we cannot attribute with certainty we sell as unsigned — never as designer.
Shipping & returns
Free worldwide shipping on orders over € 100. Shipped with PostNL, insured and with track & trace.
30 days to change your mind. If you send a piece back, please use the original packaging.
Caring for vintage jewelry
Vintage jewelry lasts longest when kept dry and stored separately. Put it on last and take it off first: perfume, hairspray and skin cream all attack the plating.
Polish only with a soft, dry cloth. No water, no soap and no silver polish — that strips the layer off.
