Don't let the stereotype fool you--a lot of Japanese made costume jewelry is very well made and highly sought after in the vintage market. In fact, many of the designers of the 1940s and 1950s were actually pieces that were handmade in Japan and imported for the U.S. jewelry market. Because a lot of handmade jewelry was the norm, the complexity of design and beautiful materials make vintage costume jewelry from Japan a real treat to own and wear. Handpainted beads and crystals, a lot of aurora borealis, and foils can be found in jewelry signed Japan. Beautiful arrays of colors, fabulous materials, and the beautiful craftsmanship combine to make Japan jewelry increasingly collectible.
