N&N specializes in the classic period from the 1920s to the 1970s, when great designers - some trained in the fine jewelry houses of Paris - created the most magnificent costume jewelry ever seen - when jewels of glass and base metal rivalled artistically those made with precious stones. With thousands of items for sale, you can always find gorgeous additions to your collection. Online and on eBay since 1999, you can buy from N&N in confidence that we guarantee your items to be authentic, as dated, and as photographed and described. |
