Vintage Jewelry describes items that are at least one generation old, so anything before the 1980’s is currently considered vintage.
Estate Jewelry describes pieces that were previously owned, it sounds more elegant than used or old jewelry. Both vintage and antique are types of estate jewelry.
Antique Jewelry is typically at least 100 years old but often Art Deco jewels crafted during the 1920’s to 1930’s are included. Fine antique jewelry is generally made of either yellow gold or platinum. Many think of costume jewelry when they hear vintage jewelry; however, between the 1940’s and 1980’s some of the finest crafted jewelry pieces were produced. Customers normally ask if we get items from estate sales. Not usually is the answer. Some items come from trusts, but most fine pre-owned pieces come from the family members that inherited them or original owners that no longer want or need them. Please enjoy our selection whether just admiring the artwork, or searching for your treasure.

Appraisals
Gold has significantly increased in price over the past couple of years. Bring your pieces in and we’d love to take a look at them, tell you what shape they’re in and what they’re made out of. We also offer appraisals which will give you a detailed breakdown of your piece’s attribute, stone size, estimated value, etc. Appraisals are $110 per piece of jewelry (ask us about bulk pricing for multiple pieces!). Whether sending the appraisal documentation to your insurance for proper coverage, preparing to pass down jewelry to your loved ones, or looking to sell your jewelry, an updated appraisal is always a sound investment!
