Guide to Buying Estate Jewelry

Estate jewelry embodies unique beauty, history, and significant value. However, shopping for estate jewelry can be a nuanced process. Here are our expert tips to guide you through purchasing estate jewelry with confidence.

What is Estate Jewelry?

First things first, let's cover what "estate jewelry" means. Simply put, estate jewelry refers to pieces that have been previously owned. Many people associate estate jewelry with vintage and antique jewelry, but some estate jewelry can be fairly new. The only requirement for a piece to be considered "estate" is that it has been owned before.

Benefits of Buying Estate Jewelry

Purchasing estate jewelry offers several benefits. Many estate pieces feature unique designs and exceptional craftsmanship. You can also find designer items among them. Plus, buying estate jewelry is an eco-friendly and sustainable choice. If you are interested in items with history behind them, estate jewelry -- particularly vintage and antique pieces) -- would be the perfect choice for you.

Factors to Consider Before Buying Estate Jewelry

Before purchasing estate jewelry, here are some factors to consider:

  • Condition of the jewelry: Is the item in good condition?
  • Authenticity and provenance: Am I sure the item is genuine?
  • Materials and craftsmanship: Is this a piece I can wear daily, and will it last?
