We Buy Trifari, Eisenberg & More

Costume jewelry is made from base metals, rhinestones, glass, and plastics rather than precious metals and gemstones. However, signed vintage costume jewelry from designers like Trifari, Eisenberg, or Miriam Haskell can be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Yes. Many valuable pieces are unsigned, especially from certain periods or designers. We can often identify the maker through style, construction, and materials. We also buy interesting unsigned vintage pieces that have decorative appeal.

Decatique Studios is Chicago's trusted costume jewelry buyer. We specialize in signed pieces from Trifari, Eisenberg, Coro, Miriam Haskell, and other designers. We offer free evaluations with house calls throughout Chicago and the North Shore. Call (773) 719-0508 to schedule.

Often, yes — and people are regularly surprised in both directions. Signed vintage pieces from makers like Trifari, Eisenberg, Miriam Haskell, and Weiss can carry real collector value, while most mass-produced modern costume pieces are worth very little. We buy vintage costume jewelry every week and can tell you which side your pieces fall on — honestly, including when the answer is "sentimental, not valuable."

Yes. Missing stones and worn plating reduce value, but signed pieces still sell — collectors restore them. Tell us what's damaged up front and we price honestly. Broken or incomplete unsigned lots we evaluate for craft and materials.

Three ways: call us at (773) 719-0508, email photos to decatiquestudios@gmail.com, or book a house call. We evaluate at your kitchen table, make an offer, and pay the same day — no obligation at any step.

It depends on the pieces. Signed designer lots often earn more on consignment through our eBay store (11,000+ sales, 99.7% rating); mixed boxes are usually best as a direct buyout. We price both paths and you choose — no pressure either way.

Don't donate or toss it before a buyer looks — signed pieces hide in plain sight, and families regularly discard hundreds of dollars in value. We sort keep/sell/donate with you in one visit, free.

Bring them in or send us photos — that's all it takes. We'll go through them piece by piece: signatures and maker's marks, materials, age, and what collectors actually pay. We've sold over 11,000 items on eBay at a 99.7% rating, so our pricing is grounded in what pieces really sell for, not guesswork. Knowing costs you nothing and there's no obligation to sell.
