Welcome to Vintage Jewelry Guide!

Vintage JewelryI absoutely adore vintage jewelry, but out of all of the vintage items that I love and collect it has been the most frustrating! Most vintage items are part of collections that are very well catalogued and defined and finite. This is not true with jewelry. I decided to start this website in my quest to learn more about it. I thougt I would share what I know and am learning.

There is vintage costume jewelry, vintage fine jewelry, vintage rhinestone jewelry, the choices are endless - but if you are like me, unless it is just too cheap to pass up, you want to know what you are getting. One of the benefits of collecting vintage items is that they have and generally hold their value, provided you paid a fair price to acquire it.

Vintage JewelryWhen collecting vintage jewelry, the term vintage is generally accepted as a piece that is over 20 years old, antique is over 50 years old and estate is a previously owned item that is less than 20 years old.  However, all of these terms are used interchangeably by many.

Vintage Fine Jewelry
Vintage Fine Jewelry means that the item is made from a precious metal, such as gold, platinum or even sterling silver, and that any gemstones are genuine. On this site, and most others as well, vintage and antique are used interchangeably. As a reminder though, the term vintage is generally accepted as a piece that is over 20 years old, antique is over 50 years old and estate is a previously owned item that is less than 20 years old.

Vintage Rings
Vintage Rings are by far the most popular Fine Vintage Jewelry item collected. Vintage, Antique and Estate Rings are available in not only diamonds and Engagement rings, but in an almost unlimited assortment of other precious gemstones, such as rubies, emeralds and sapphires, as well as semi-precious ones, like amethysts, garnets or peridot, as well as pearls, cameos, well, you get the picture.
