Heirloom or Brand New? Estate-Inspired Costume Jewelry That Looks Like the Real Thing
-
Pops of Color
Express is known for its very "now" offerings. So this vintage-looking piece is (no pun intended) a real jewel in its collection. Sometimes you need more than just a "pop" of color.
$69.99 at Express.
-
Grapefruit
A delightful mix of pink and orange, the happy grapefruit comes to mind (for me) here. These flower-like hues do not have to be relegated to warmer months. Wear these whenever you have the feeling to go girly.
$58 at Zappos.
-
Punked
A little bling mixed with spikes, it's like high-end punk style. Sid and Nancy may not have approved, but we do. Pair danglers like these with your favorite bodycon tops and dresses.
$16 at Macys.

It's Delicate
I've mentioned arrow pieces before as being one of my personal go-to this season and next. This bracelet is just so stackable!
$24 at Pink Mascara.

Snake Eyes
Imagine you've got on a pretty basic look: chucks, boyfriend jeans, sweater. Now imagine you've got these in your lobes. Your look just went from "meh" to style-lover-about-town.
$24 at Arden B.
-
Teardrop
If you've got even a hint of blue in your peepers this pair of teardrop earrings will bring it out and emphasize it beautifully.
$14 at Arden B.
-
Cuffed
We all know that blue, black and gray is a champion color palette to work with. This cuff combines all three with shining, feminine details. It's one for the personal collection hall of fame, no doubt.
$30 at Topshop.
-
Heavy Metal
American Eagle went a sort of steampunk industrial way with this bracelet — and I like it. It's sort of as if it was made by hand with the most basic raw materials. Very cool.
$24.50 at American Eagle.

Turquoise Pin
When we're talking about the costume end of the jewelry spectrum, we cannot forget to mention the broach. No estate sale would be complete without a few going to auction. At under $10, there's no bidding required here.
$7.80 at Forever21.
-
Smokey
While so many of these pieces will amp up solid, darker colors, you can use these earrings to pair with your more colorful wardrobe pieces. I might be able to see one of the many hot pink tees floating around out there paired with these.
$46.99 at Zappos.
