Costume jewelry collecting is a wonderful hobby. Jewelry really documents history for us, and what better way to have a piece of history than by owning costume jewelry from different time periods. Carole Tanenbaum has been collecting costume jewelry for twenty years and now has more than 6,000 pieces in her collecting. Travel through time by browsing her website, TrueFaux.com.
Along with beautiful jewelry, Tanenbaum also offers tips for collecting and storingcostume jewelry.
