Antique Jewelry
In the search for something special or unusual people are buying any antique jewelry that comes on the market. Some people are confused about what antique jewelry actually is.
The definition of the periods jewelry is from are considered to be the antique period which is jewelry that is over 100 years old, whereas Vintage jewelry is jewelry that comes after the 1920s.
There are several other periods within the antique period. The Late Georgian, the Victorian and the Art Nouveau cover all the periods when jewelry can be considered Antique and anything that comes after those periods would be considered vintage rather than antique.
You need to be very sure of what you are looking at before you purchase it. There are lots of copies around and you would be wise to have any potential purchase examined by an antique jewelry expert.
