Initially known for perfumes, it historically offered women the opportunity to earn income by pursuing their passions. Representatives provided cosmetics and fragrances, and in 1963, a piece of jewelry was offered as a gift with purchase. In 1970, due to numerous customer requests, Avon launched its own line of jewelry – Avon Jewelry. The company's first collection was named "The Precious Pretenders." Extensive advertising campaigns in the United States made these decorative pieces incredibly popular among women. Avon Jewelry secured a significant position among favorite jewelry manufacturers. Collectors of vintage costume jewelry particularly cherish pieces released in the 1970s. Notable brands that collaborated with Avon include Ungaro and Swarovski, Centennial, Trifari, and WN. In the 1990s, Hollywood film star Elizabeth Taylor collaborated with the company's designers to release several jewelry lines named in her honor. Even today, Avon Jewelry continues to delight women with its quality and accessible pricing.
