FAQs
Does Antique Jewellery Hold Its Value?
Antique jewellery, typically aged over a century, often carries increased value owing to its historical significance. However, the condition of the piece plays a crucial role in determining its market worth. The maintenance and care of antique jewellery significantly influence its resale value. A well-preserved piece tends to command a higher price due to its rarity and favoured appearance.
Is there a difference between vintage and antique jewellery?
The terms 'vintage' and 'antique' in jewellery categorisation are primarily distinguished by age. Vintage jewellery typically refers to pieces that are at least 50 years old but less than 100 years old. Antique jewellery signifies items that are over a century old. Both categories encompass various styles, designs, and historical significance, with antique pieces often holding a higher age-based value due to their greater antiquity.
