Sometimes It’s Okay to Fake It
In this lackluster economy, as the price of gold soars, it’s a perfect time to consider a fabulous fake. Over the weekend, at a 2-day trunk show in San Francisco, I got a crash course in all things vintage from a famous collector of costume jewelry. I struggled to keep my composure and cash, given the proximity to hundreds of glittering bracelets, pins and necklaces that were there to be flirted with. And then, I succumbed to a trio of engraved Victorian bangles. Fauxtastic.
