Distinguishing between the Antique and Vintage Pieces of Glory!
There’s an old saying, which goes this way – “ You are never fully dressed without jewelry “. Well, if you are someone who is left out hypnotized at the jewelry stores then yes, we share the same blood!
But before you land up in a dilemma of selecting what suits you and what not, let me help you out with a few must-know for every jewelry lover.
So, you must have heard of vintage jewelry and antique jewelry and ended up considering that both are the same. Well, that’s not the case. Antique and Vintage jewelries are two completely different pieces of glory that come with their own charm and history.
Antique Jewelry
Starting with antique jewelry, we say that any piece of ornament that is about 100 years old is considered antique. This concludes that anything which was manufactured in or around 1922 will be considered an antique piece. At Silver Mine jewelry we present you with a plethora of antique jewelries handcrafted in Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian styles.
With our expertise in Victorian-style jewelry, we love to bring out the best in you.
Vintage Jewelry
According to jewelry traders, any item that is at least 50-100 years old is taken under the name of vintage jewelry. So basically, any ornament that was crafted between 1972-1922 is badged as vintage.
We at Silver Mine jewelry, take pride in announcing that our vintage collection comprises original Art deco, Art Nouveau, and Retro to mid-century jewelry.
Moreover, our stunning sterling silver jewelry and filigree jewelry which also lies under this category is a must-try as they come at extremely commendable prices.
To understand the world of jewelry better, there’s a thirst term on the list.
Despite being a lesser-known or rarely used term, ‘estate jewelry’ has a different meaning. The word estate jewelry refers to those ornaments which have been previously owned, against their age.
Several jewelers have their own views when it comes to this term. A handful of traders use estate jewelry to refer to those ornaments which are about 30 years old.
Well, identification of the jewelry can be a difficult job, but even after identifying them, the only information we get is their age.
