What is Vintage Jewelry?
Vintage jewelry has to be at least 20 to 30 years old. This means that they could be anything manufactured during or earlier than the 1990's. Vintage is a term that encompasses a great array of periods, especially when jewelry was produced in mass quantities. That was possible due to the technological advancements in the 20th century. It is important to note that a majority of vintage jewelry is costume or fashion jewelry. This variation holds significantly less valuable than fine or luxury vintage jewelry.
If you currently own an engagement ring that was manufactured during the 1800's, would it be considered vintage? The answer is—technically speaking—yes. However, a majority of dealers would identify that ring as an antique instead and may not classify the ring as a vintage piece. This way, they draw attention to just how old the ring is. Now, what about your grandparent's engagement ring that was manufactured during the 1940's? Yes, this could be classified as a vintage engagement ring.
The Value of Vintage Jewelry
There are several factors that help jewelry collectors and buyers get an idea of how much the vintage jewelry piece is worth. Some common areas to look out for include:
If the piece of jewelry looks like it had been created by someone with expert craftsmanship, chances is it could be a one-of-a-kind piece and was created by an artist jeweler.
The vintage piece should come with a receipt, official papers, and a box. It is also helpful to know when and where the jewelry was purchased from.
Brand names may be engraved into the metal components of the jewelry. However, these markings may have faded over the years. Any markings are helpful as it can tell you where your jewelry originated from and its estimated worth. You may want to look out for country hallmarks as well. They indicate which country the jewelry was manufactured in.
