Defining Estate Jewelry

People are drawn to estate jewelry for many reasons chief among them unique designs and Old World craftsmanship. But what is the difference between estate jewelry, antique and period jewelry? Estate jewelry is defined as fine jewelry that has been previously owned. It is estimated that most estate jewelry is about 20 to 150 years old. Antique jewelry is 100 years or older. And, period jewelry are pieces that are from an identifiable period in history, such as the Victorian Period.

Vintage, Timeless, Treasures

The Victorian Period is the lengthiest of historical periods that runs the span of Queen Victoria’s reign from 1837 to 1901. Art Nouveau’s influence (1980 to 1910) overlaps with the Late Victorian Period. The Edwardian Period’s span of influence was even shorter (1901 to 1910), while Art Deco (1920 to 1940) was influential for two decades, but had a profound impact on any object with a design element to it – from architecture to jewelry.

Rare, Exquisite Jewels

The allure and appeal of estate jewelry has many aspects to it. But, the enduring passion all estate, period and antique jewelry enthusiasts share is the outstanding value proposition. Prices for fine estate, period and antique jewelry from The Madison Collection start at $500. Mark your calendars for this five-day event, starting on Wednesday, January 31.
