April Antiques |
We asked April a few questions...
What first interested you in vintage costume jewellery?
I have always been a fan of Chanel and decided to look for more vintage pieces to collect. My collection then grew from this and I started collecting other designers such as YSL and Stanley Hagler. I prefer the quality and skill taken to make vintage jewellery to the modern pieces.
How did you start dealing in costume jewellery?
I first opened up an online business and opened in Alfies November 2014.
Do you have a favourite designer?
Yes, my favourite designer is Chanel, although Dior make beautiful pieces too.
Do you see any trends in costume jewellery.
Yes, at the moment there is a lot of interest in Stanley Hagler, once described as the "Picasso" of jewellery.
Do you have a personal favourite from your collection?
Yes my favourite is a beautiful necklace called Augustine by the Gripoix family who made pieces for Chanel.
