There are many different periods of jewelry designs in history, a lot of times the jewelry will tell its age because of the design and the wear on it. Beware of fakes on the market from China; it is better to shop on well known online antique shops, not the auction sites.
On auction sites there is a small risk of jewelry being reproductions; if purchasing for only private collection it would be risky but okay. If you are purchasing vintage jewelry as a reseller than the jewelry should be verified as original piece regardless of price.
Here are some photos of some of my pieces, I really don't spend a lot of money on these pieces but it makes feel good saving a piece of unique vintage jewelry history.
