fine estate jewelry

Fine estate jewelry has been defined differently at different and by different sources.  What all definitions have in common, however, is that estate jewelry has been previously owned without necessarily coming from ‘an estate’ or belonging to any specific time period., Estate jewelry may in fact originate from as late back as the Georgian era to contemporary design  jewelry. It is therefore to be differentiated from antique jewelry since  the latter refers to  jewelry pieces of at  least 100 years old.

Estate jewelry may be distinguished  by its its uniqueness. This characteristic refers, amongst others, to the history behind such jewelry items which, in many cases may have  survived several generations and passed on from one generation to another as part of family heirloom.

If you are in  possession  of estate jewelry which you plan  to sell, it would be reasonable  to seek the advice of a  jewelry connoisseur  in order to obtain a realistic evaluation of your items . Pieces of jewelry which once belonged to your grand-grand mother may have enjoyed a comeback in contemporary fashion trend, hence gained considerably in value!
