It was revolutionary in offering women an opportunity to earn money by pursuing their passions. Representatives initially sold cosmetics and fragrances. In 1963, jewelry was first offered as a gift with purchase. In 1970, due to popular demand from customers, AVON launched its own jewelry line – AVON Jewelry. The company's inaugural collection was named "The Precious Pretenders." Extensive advertising campaigns across the United States propelled these decorative pieces to immense popularity among women, establishing AVON jewelry as a significant player among favored jewelry manufacturers. Collectors of vintage costume jewelry particularly cherish items released in the 1970s. Notable brands that collaborated with AVON include Ungaro, Swarovski, Centennial, Trifari, and WN. In the 1990s, Hollywood film star Elizabeth Taylor collaborated with the company's designers on several jewelry lines named in her honor. Even today, AVON jewelry continues to delight women with its quality and accessible pricing.
