What is Vintage Jewelry?
Vintage jewelry is pre-owned or previously worn jewelry, typically less than 100 years old. Jewelry that is over 100 years old is considered antique, often passed down as family heirlooms.
Vintage jewelry can also be categorized by era:
-
Retro Jewelry (1930–1950): Bold, glitzy statement pieces inspired by Hollywood’s golden age.
-
Mid-Century Jewelry (1940–1960): Large, geometric, and ribbon-like designs in necklaces, bracelets, and brooches.
-
Modern Jewelry (1950–Present): Contemporary and timeless designs with advanced techniques, flashy diamonds, and textured settings.
No matter the era, your unwanted jewelry is valuable. Some vintage pieces are sought after for collectability, rarity, and historical significance.
Factors That Affect the Value of Vintage Jewelry
When evaluating vintage jewelry, our expert Jewelry Buyers consider:
-
