The collecting of VINTAGE JEWELRY BOXES and display items are a
by-product of an interest in collecting costume jewelry. They
are hard to resist on their own, but particularly fun if you own
the jewelry they contained as well! Here are some that have come
our way over the past twenty-plus years, along with the dates
they were used.
