House of Francheska are International Sellers Based in the UK
Specializing in Antique and Vintage Costume Jewellery and History
Hello my name is Lorraine and I absolutely adore Vintage Costume Jewellery and unusual Jewellery from around the World, believe it or not it all started from a small box of costume jewellery my mother in law gave to me before she sadly passed away. This website is dedicated in memory to Sabina Emily Evans. I have been a seller since 2004 and I run the website with my husband Brian. We specialize in Rare, Collectable and unusual Jewellery from around the world. Lorraine the founder relies on sourcing reputable suppliers from across the Globe to ensure all jewellery is original and authentic. She does an enormous amount of research to bring back high-end original signed parures and one off pieces made by top designers. They are part of history as most of the designers have now ceased trading.

This is an exclusive chance for anyone interested in buying and collecting high end Vintage Costume Jewellery not seen in jewellery shops. House of Francheska offers an extensive range from American and European Vintage Costume Jewellery to Brand New Costume Jewellery.

Besides selling Vintage Costume Jewellery she has chosen other areas of jewellery, one collection is the Elizabeth Taylor for Avon Costume Jewellery which is very exotic and shows true exquisiteness and quality of costume jewellery, unique and very different compared with todays contemporary designs. Browse through the Taylor Collection and explore these truely fabulous jewels.
