Throw it away: everything you need to know about vintage jewelry

Once upon a time, the things we inherited from previous generations were at best bewildering, at worst dismissive. But today the rules of the game have changed! Accessories and jewelry from the past have become the main trend of the present. 

 

 

How to determine the real vintage, antique, rarity

First, let's understand the concepts, because vintage and antique, it turns out, are not synonymous.

Vintage jewelry is jewelry or bijouterie older than 20-30 years, which were popular in the era in which they were created.

 

 

 

Antique jewelry - can not be younger than 50-60 years. Such jewelry is distinguished not only by its venerable age, but also by its artistic value and high cost of materials.

However, depending on the geo-location, the definitions may vary slightly. For example, for example, in Russia and Great Britain antique jewelry is considered to be over 50 years old, in the United States - made before 1830, and in Canada before 1847.

 

 

 

 

 

There is another definition of antique jewelry - “rarity”.

Rarity jewelry is the rarest, most exclusive products, created either in a limited series, or in a single copy.

Each vintage or antique jewelry tells its own story, plunges into a distant era. Such products have incredible energy and keep the mysterious secrets of the past.
