What is Estate Jewelry?

Estate jewelry is defined in this way: jewelry which has been previously owned. It could refer to a true antique (over 50 years old) or to a recently purchased item.

Why do people want Estate Jewelry?
Nostalgia. Sentiment plays a large part in jewelry selection. People are searching more and more for reminders of past, more stable times. Just as the whole mood of nostalgia continues strong, older jewelry reminds them of those times.
Design. Individual craftsmen left their tell-tale mark of quality with an outstanding sense of shape and form. There were no machines stamping out pieces by the thousands, only individual artisans practicing their chosen profession of fabricating beautiful jewelry one piece at a time.

Antique Engagement Rings:

There are various styles of Antique Engagement Rings that people can choose from. Making the proper selection will depend on the particular look that one is attracted to and, of course, establishing budget parameters.

Art Deco Engagement Rings-

Art Deco Engagement Rings cover the time period between the 1920’s and 1930’s. Emeralds, Sapphires and Rubies became very popular and were often used with diamonds to create the “look” of the Art Deco era. The Art Deco “look” often combines influences of cubism, geometric and angular design. They are equally popular with the Edwardian look and certain to be cherished for years to come. These rings are very hard to find and are still very much in high demand.
