Frequently Asked Questions about Antique Jewelry
What is the difference between vintage and antique jewelry?
The difference between vintage jewelry and antique jewelry is the time in which it was produced. Vintage jewelry was manufactured in the last 50 to 99 years. Antique jewelry was produced at least 100 years ago.
The Symbolism of Antique Metal Jewelry
Throughout history, jewelry has been used as a form of symbolism. What is now considered antique or vintage jewelry was once used as a sign of wealth, elegance, and self-expression. The popular jewelry trends seen in our antique metal jewelry shift between subtle delicacy and bold statement pieces, but the symbolism remains.
