Vintage and Estate Jewelry

Vintage Estate Jewelry

Timeless, gorgeous, and one‑of‑a‑kind are common adjectives that come to mind when you think of estate jewelry. What exactly does this type of fine jewelry include? Experts use the term "estate jewelry" if the item had a previous owner. You'd also associate estate jewelry with antique and vintage items. But, usually, estate jewelry is defined as pieces made within the past 30 to 50 years, although some jewelry may even be 100 or 150 years old.

Estate Jewelry Varieties

This style spans the entire spectrum of jewelry types available. From vintage engagement rings and wedding bands, ornate bangle bracelets to eye‑catching earrings and embellished pins and brooches, you'll find numerous designs within this category that appeal to your personal taste.

Art Deco Jewelry

The Art Deco trend was popular in the 1920s and 1930s when jewelry makers focused on repeating and symmetrical geometric designs using diamonds and gems in contrasting colors. The streamlined silhouettes of Art Deco pieces, when paired with large‑sized diamonds or gemstones, make for exquisite pieces that captivate the sensibilities of today's fashion‑forward women. Art Deco engagement rings are an excellent pick for modern brides‑to‑be who love bold designs with an antique flair yet want something with symmetrical lines for enhanced sophistication.

Edwardian Jewelry

The Edwardian style was popular in Europe between 1901 and 1915 during the reign of luxury‑loving King Edward VII. Jewelry from the Edwardian era is renowned for its delicate forms with pretty detailing using precious materials like diamonds and platinum. If you love intricate jewelry decorated with feminine motifs like garlands, bows, ribbons, and lace, Edwardian pieces are sure to delight you.

Owning antique jewelry helps you make a memorable style statement, thanks to the uniqueness of these pieces. Crafted with premium materials like 18kt white gold, yellow gold, platinum, and fine cut diamonds, these items display skilled craftsmanship with particular attention to art and beauty.
