I'm sure this idea has been mentioned here before, but my wife has done rather well with her natural eye for good costume jewelry at thrift stores and yard sales. Sometimes a bag of old "junk" jewelry can be had for a dollar or two, and may contain items that are quite collectable. Especially look for well made items stamped with names and hallmarks of known makers. Art Nouveau and Art Deco pieces show up often and are sold cheap because the owners have no idea what they have. My wife bought the square brass and enamel Volupte compact for twenty five cents, and eventually sold it for over a hundred dollars.
