Vintage Jewelry Collecting Tips: How to Recognize Reproductions, Replicas and Counterfeits

Something every vintage and antique jewelry collector needs to know is how to recognize reproductions, replicas and counterfeits. In this jewelry identification video we will explore the definitions, look and an example of a authentic and replica (arguably a counterfeit) locket, and review tips to help train the eye to recognize suspicious details.
The goal of this video is to show you how to buy and collect vintage and antique jewelry wisely, and avoid scams - no matter if you shop online via market places like Etsy, eBay or Postmark, at auction, or in a retail venue.
Vintage and Antique Jewelry collecting is a joy and knowledge is power!

Wonderful, as I know I was scammed on top of $1200 not given back and no merchandise. And so this information is important for us all. Lesson learned and that is why for now I stopped buying from her and shopping online. Thank you

[@sundaebaubles]

I'm sorry this happened to you, it's terrible. Thankfully there are more honest dealers than not, but these incidents have a lasting effect and rock one's confidence in people. Sending you a big hug ❤

Thanks so much for another informative video, Jen. I’m glad to now know the distinctions between replica, reproduction, and counterfeit. Now I know the appropriate term to use when I spot counterfeit Louis Vuitton handbags, too, LOL! Have a wonderful weekend!

Sorry but I can't seem to hear you very well..
I have my volume up high..

HI Marlene - I'm sorry, I know this is frustrating! I've noticed that sometimes the videos sound really quiet, but if I try it again the sound improves. I hope this tip works for you too!
