Estate Jewelry is a category that encompasses a wide range of jewelery types and styles. The origin of most items is second hand jewelery that was sold outright or at estate auction and has been restored by our professional jewelers. Restoration often includes replacing damaged gemstones, rebuilding filigree wire, careful inspection of prongs, refinishing and complete factory service of watches. The jewelery you are viewing in section of our catalog is comprised mostly pre-1950’s pieces, although there are some modern items at exceptional value. Some items are antique with estimated ages of over 100 years. Other pieces are vintage Art Nouveau or Art Deco designs from the early 1900’s to 1930’s. The jewelery on display has been professionally evaluated as genuine karat gold, platinum and gemstone pieces, unless otherwise noted. Some items may be gold filled and/or contain imitation colored stones, a practice common in certain periods.
