ANTIQUE VS. ESTATE JEWELLERY
When selling estate jewellery it is important to know the different kinds of pieces there are and how they are classified. Estate jewellery is defined as any jewellery that is pre-owned, however it is most often used when discussing items belonging to a deceased individual as a part of their overall ‘estate’. Antique jewellery is a term for jewellery pieces that are at least 100 years old, and can in itself include other classifications. For example, Art Deco jewelry is at this point considered to be antique.
Antique jewellery may also include the following:
- Georgian period jewellery
- Early Victorian jewellery
- Mid-Victorian jewellery
- Late Victorian jewellery
- Memento Mori jewellery
- Arts and Crafts Era jewellery
- Art Deco jewellery
- Art Nouveau jewellery
- Edwardian jewellery
- Retro jewellery
- Art Organique jewellery
While fine contemporary jewellery is very popular and is always in demand, it is also abundant on the market.Rare estate jewellery is usually unique and many pieces are one of a kind or are among just a few known to be in existence, making it even more important to know what you have. What you need to consider when selling Antique and Estate jewellery. Family heirlooms, particularly jewellery, can be very valuable depending on their condition, age, rarity and other factors.

Rarity – The most important factor when selling antique and estate diamond jewellery is determining their rarity.Even if the piece is only in fair condition, if it is rare its value can still be fairly high. The professionals at Buymyjewellery.com are exceptionally knowledgeable about the jewelry industry and current market value and will be able to determine the rarity. This is an important step in evaluating the market price of such an item.
Condition – This is also an improtant factor to consider to determine the value of your antique ring is its condition. Our jewellery valuers will look at the ring/rings to see if any stones have been replaced or if any stones are missing from the piece.Antique rings that are no longer in their original state can lose alot of value.

Additionally, if you need to resize your antique ring, it should only be done by a professional and the alteration should be nearly invisible.
