Vintage Estate Jewelry Collection

VINTAGE ESTATE JEWELRY AND ANTIQUE ENGAGEMENT RINGS

We are fascinated by objects that can be traced back to a bygone era as a culture. Vintage cars, original edition books, ancient paintings, and family-owned estates are all considered to be historically significant, elegant, and valuable. At Menashe & Sons Jewelers, we believe a similar sentiment applies to jewelry.

An independently appraised piece of jewelry with historical lines has a magical quality and is an excellent investment as well. Collectors of antique jewelry pieces aren't just rich people. Modern jewelry lovers seek out antique jewelry, vintage engagement rings, and unique pieces from the past. Unfortunately, there are many dangers in the vintage jewelry market, so it is important to look for trusted agents who can give you the real deal. By jewelry industry standards, a piece is considered vintage when it dates back between 50 and 100 years. While a piece that's been around for more than a century is considered antique. 

The Difference Between Modern and Vintage Jewelry

It is nearly impossible to match the timeless, enchanting beauty of vintage and antique jewelry today. They are typically handmade by skilled craftsmen who pay great attention to detail, displaying a sense of elegance and using old-world techniques that are unmatched by modern design.

Many antique jewelry pieces were handcrafted by skilled craftsmen to be worn as one-off pieces for members of the upper classes. Jewelry from another era, such as the Art Deco era, with its own story to tell, has a certain romance to it. We create a new beginning in its sparkling history when we acquire an antique or vintage piece of jewelry. Almost anyone can choose a piece of modern jewelry from a well-known jewelry brand, but you must be a person of style if you are interested in hunting down a beautiful antique or vintage piece of jewelry that you adore.

It is almost impossible to find the same level of quality, clarity, and craftsmanship in high-end bespoke pieces as we see in older jewelry. A high level of skill was required to make jewelry in the past, and designing pieces for rich clients took a long time. As a consequence, the craftsmanship is often more refined than that of even the best jewelry made today.
