Understanding Antique and Vintage Jewellery
Antique jewellery refers to pieces that are 100 years old or more. Made in a specific period and often reflect the craftsmanship, materials, and design styles of that era.
Vintage jewellery is generally 20 to 99 years old. While not old enough to be antique, vintage pieces come from a previous era and showcase the trends and techniques popular at the time.
