Avon jewelry was
introduced in 1971 - with many fine pieces produced over the years. More and more, fashion jewelry from this era is becoming the next collectible. Maryanne Dolan, noted in
her book, Collecting Rhinestone and Colored Jewelry 4th Edition, “It is apparent
that this subject which would seem to have an interest limited to a particular
time frame has instead expanded, and where once we considered only the high
vintage era to be the late 1920s to the early 1950s, we are now moving very
actively into the years beyond, to the 1960’s and into the
1980’s.”
