Frequently asked questions
What is vintage jewellery?
Vintage jewellery usually refers to pieces between 50 and 100 years old. These items reflect the specific design trends of their era, like the bold geometric shapes of the Art Deco period or the romantic, botanical styles of the mid-century.
Unlike antiques, which are typically over a century old, vintage pieces tend to be more wearable for everyday life while still offering the superior craftsmanship and weight of older precious metals.
How old is vintage jewellery?
To be classed as ‘vintage’, a piece generally needs to be at least 50 years old. Our collection focuses on high-quality jewellery from the mid-1970s and earlier, including iconic designs from the 1950s and 60s.
We carefully inspect every piece to verify its age and authenticity, so you can be sure you’re getting a piece of history that will last for years to come.
