Many people appreciate costume jewelry for its aesthetic qualities. Some pieces are well-designed, trendy, or have a unique vintage charm. Research shows that people buy costume jewelry for fashion and style, because it can be worn on various occasions, its price point, or because of the latest trend.
Because of this, a lot of people end up with a lot of costume jewelry or fashion jewelry, which causes clutter. Costume jewelry that holds sentimental significance should be kept. But if you’re looking to declutter your life, what better place to start than with your old costume jewelry, unworn gold and silver jewelry? Maybe it’s just not your style anymore, or maybe the fad has passed and you no longer like the piece. Pieces that contain gold and silver have a higher value. Most pieces are assessed on their ascetics as opposed the worth of the materials that they were made from.

2. Historical or Cultural Significance: Some costume jewelry may have historical or cultural significance.
3. Artistic Value:  Artistic and handcrafted costume jewelry, especially if created by renowned designers, can have value beyond the cost of materials. 
4.  Materials and Craftsmanship: High-quality materials, intricate craftsmanship, and attention to detail can enhance the value of costume jewelry. 
5. Market Demand: Trends and fashion can influence the market demand for certain types of costume jewelry.

Preserving and conserving

I approach things differently at the Man of Silver. Items that have inherent value due to the manufacturer or the craftsmanship in their design, in my opinion, should be preserved and conserved. I make every effort to locate a new home for jewelry that may no longer suit your tastes but rather someone else’s.
