Estate

Estate jewelry is a term used to describe pre-owned jewelry or jewelry that has belonged to someone else. These pieces are often sought by many due to the unique designs that they possess. Estate jewelry has features that are not commonly found in modern jewelry. This makes them stand out and can add a touch of individuality to your jewelry collection. Many estate jewelry pieces were crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques, some of which may no longer be in practice. This means that they often feature high-quality craftsmanship and pristine attention to detail, making each piece one of a kind.

Estate jewelry pieces may have a history and a story behind them, which can add an extra layer of meaning to your jewelry. It can be sentimental to some, based on the previous owners. They may have been worn by famous figures or have been passed down through generations, adding to their value and charm. Buying estate jewelry is not just a way to discover treasures from the past. It’s a way to bring back old styles and buy jewelry in a more environmentally-friendly way.
