Why We Love Vintage and Estate Jewelry

Why Vintage or Estate Jewelry Might Be the Best Choice You’ll Ever Make

So what’s the difference between Vintage and Estate Jewelry?

  • Vintage jewelry generally refers to pieces that are at least 20–30 years old but not necessarily antique (which typically means 100+ years old).

  • Estate jewelry refers to any previously owned piece, regardless of age—it could be vintage, antique, or even contemporary.

And we love them all!!  We carry a rotating collection of both estate and vintage jewelry so you'll always be able to find something unique.

And in a market filled with mass-produced designs, vintage and estate jewelry offers something truly special—history, craftsmanship, and a unique story behind every piece. Whether you're seeking a timeless engagement ring or simply want to elevate your personal style, here's why vintage might be the perfect fit.

Why shop for estate and vintage jewelry?  Here are a few great reasons to add some pieces into your jewelry wardrobe.

💎 Exceptional Craftsmanship & Unique Designs

Unlike modern jewelry, many vintage pieces are handcrafted, showcasing intricate details and period-specific artistry—from Edwardian filigree to Art Deco geometry. These styles are increasingly rare and full of character.

💎 Rich with History and Romance

Every piece of estate jewelry tells a story. Whether it's a Victorian brooch or an Art Nouveau pendant, you're wearing a slice of the past and continuing its legacy.

💎 Eco-Friendly and Ethically Sound

Choosing vintage means you're not supporting new mining or production. It’s a sustainable jewelry option that helps reduce your environmental footprint and avoid ethical supply chain concerns.

💎 Potential for Appreciation in Value

Estate jewelry, especially from iconic eras or designers, can retain or increase in value. Unique cuts, rare gemstones, and historic brand names all add to their collectible appeal.

 💎 Great Value for the Price

You often get more for your money—larger stones, higher-quality settings, and distinctive designs—at a lower cost than comparable new pieces.

💎 A Personal, Statement-Making Style

Vintage jewelry stands out in a sea of modern minimalism. It reflects individuality and tells people you care about more than just trends—you care about meaning, beauty, and legacy.

Vintage and estate jewelry is about celebrating individuality and timeless beauty. Don’t be afraid to experiment, layer, or break a few rules. These treasures were made to be worn, not locked away. By giving them new life in your wardrobe, you honor both their past and your personal style.
