The most common problem in costume jewelry is that they are no longer glittering or perfect like before. For some materials, like rhinestones, crystal, glass or plastic, they may become loose, come out of their settings, or even crack gradually. If they are cracked, you can use adhesive to repair them. Make sure that you have chosen the right adhesive, and just use a little. You must be careful, because it is very hard to remove if you get it in the surface. You can use a toothpick dipped in a little pool of glue to drop a little to the setting, make the stone stick.
As for the old broken jewelry or any unmatched earrings which has lost a small piece of stone, you can find some broken pieces in the flea market. Indeed, it is very hard to find an exactly matching stone, but you can use some with the same size and color. Of course, you can also get some from the stone suppliers.
