Antique jewelry means old-fashioned jewelry. To term it 'antique', the jewelry must be at least 70
years old. It could refer to jewels handed down from generation to generation, and it also
includes jewelry with a historic value. They are treasured not just for the money value. Rather,
they are relics from a memorable past.
There are different types of antique jewelry. The most common ones are estate antique jewelry,
Victorian, Edwardian, Art deco and Art nouveau.
Estate antique jewelry pieces are recent pre-owned ones. These excel in workmanship. The
pieces are generally low priced compared to new jewelry. This type of jewelry is commonly
auctioned off. Some of the most popular pieces are engagement rings, wedding rings,
necklaces, bracelets and pendants.
The elegance of the Victorian era is captured in antique Victorian jewelry. A unique type of
Victorian jewelry was hair jewelry. Locks of hair were saved and later on turned into ornate hair
jewelry such as watch chains, bracelets and rings. Hair jewelry served the purpose of being a
very personal memento at the time of parting or death. Today antique hair jewelry is valued at
hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on the condition of the piece.
The period from 1920 to 1935 is referred to as the Art deco period. It produced dazzling pieces
in bright colors and straight lines. Long earrings were a popular part of Art deco jewelry. The
antique Art deco jewelry is studded with emeralds, sapphires and rubies. These are jewels fit for
a queen. Needless to say they are exorbitant and rare.
Art nouveau jewelry was popular in the years between 1890 and 1919. Motifs used in this
jewelry were inspired by nature. Butterflies, dragons, orchids, snakes and lilies were the popular
motifs preferred. Widespread usage of precious and semi-precious gemstones, horn, copper
shell, tortoise shell, ivory and shells was the norm.
TTeerrrraaccoottttaa JJeewweellrryy::
Though gold continues to be in vogue amongst women as well as investors, its general usage
has definitely declined. Rising gold prices combined with the emergence of stylish imitation
jewellery that look like genuine gold can be attributed to this trend. As is the case, gold
jewellery, these days is gradually being replaced by imitation jewellery for every type of
occasion. Gone are the days when diamond, valuable stones, gold and platinum were the only
metals used to make jewellery. With changing trends, tastes and preferences of women has
also undergone a drastic change. Nowadays style dominates everything else. Women today are
conscious about their style and this rise of consciousness has been observed irrespective of
geographical locations. Every woman: young, middle-aged, old alike, loves to dress up. They
love to match jewellery with their attires. Hence fashion jewellery has created its own niche in
the market. Fashion jewellery can be also termed as costume jewellery because of its cheap
value. It can be found studded with either imitation or glass stones. The modern imitation
jewellery promotes the concept of wearable and affordable jewellery. Today's women prefer to
possess variety of jewellery sets matching the costumes they wear on different occasions. This
has popularized fashion jewellery which is made out of various inexpensive materials like
terracotta jute chunky beads feather fabric plastic wood shells, glass, paper pulp, etc. These
apart from being trendy are durable and affordable. Moreover women are very choosy about
designs and when it comes to imitation jewellery, the choices are plenty.
