Facts about Estate Jewelry:
ESTATE JEWELRY DEFINITION:
If the piece of jewelry had a previous owner, it is considered an estate piece, regardless of the age of the piece of jewelry, or if the person that owned the piece of jewelry is still alive. The age of the piece is NOT a determining factor when it comes to classifying estate jewelry, even if it is 25, 50, or 150 years old.
VINTAGE JEWELRY DEFINITION:
If the piece of jewelry is between 25 to 100 years old, it is considered "vintage" jewelry. Many of the vintage jewelry designs are great to be brought into modern fashion trends, and can be relatively current with today's personalized looks to add to any fashion forward wardrobe collections to add variety. This vintage jewelry gives you a touch of the past, along with most pieces being well made.
ANTIQUE JEWELRY DEFINITION:
If the piece of jewelry is over 100 years old, it is considered an "Antique", usually the piece of jewelry has superior craftmanship and quality materials than compared to today's many modern pieces. Because of the limited number of antique jewelry pieces, and taking into account the age of the piece of jewelry (most heavily worn), some pieces may be too valuable to be worn.
