The Hidden Value of Estate Jewellery

February 27, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

When shopping for a special piece for yourself or your loved one, look carefully at the beauty and style of estate jewellery, pre-owned and pre-loved classics that offer much more than cost savings. Estate jewellery includes quality vintage and antique pieces, carefully handcrafted or hand-finished with attention to every detail. The many advantages to purchasing estate jewellery include its history, value, artistry, and even the ethics of making an environmentally supportive choice. The aspects that make estate jewellery intriguing also make it a wise choice for many buyers.

The Ethics

In a world characterized by excess and waste, many jewellery lovers choose to make a difference by carefully considering the environmental and ethical cost of a piece before purchasing. With estate jewellery, you don’t have to worry about ecological damage from production or possible human rights violations during the process. There is no mining, no use of resources, and no air pollution. Buying pre-owned is 100% ethical and has absolutely no environmental or human impact from mining or gem acquisition. Instead, you are recycling, choosing a green option.

The Story

An irresistible facet of estate jewellery is that each piece has a past, a journey, or a story of romance. By owning estate jewellery, you become part of that piece’s history, along with the others who have loved the jewellery just as you do. It has already touched lives throughout the years, and it can touch yours. You become the newest part of the narrative that each piece holds within itself.

The Value

Although many people want to purchase new jewellery, there is a quality and refined nature to estate jewellery that is often missing from recently produced items. Estate jewellery is usually handmade, not cast, and its imperfections only add to each piece’s unique nature. It often costs less than buying new but offers a greater value due to the craftsmanship that makes each piece a work of art. A quality piece of estate jewellery can be an excellent long-term investment.

The Style

In contrast to new jewellery, with its similarity to many other pieces, estate jewellery offers truly unique beauty and design. By considering the wide variety of pieces available, you can make your own fashion statement with one that matches your individual style and reflects who you really are. Vintage and antique pieces are both found in estate jewellery. Antique jewellery is usually at least 100 years old, while vintage is usually at least 30 years old. Both offer refined elegance and skilled craftsmanship, with an emphasis on design and artistry. A quality piece chosen from the past can become a meaningful part of your own present.

The History

When you buy estate jewellery, you are buying a piece of the past. One of the oldest types of antique pieces still found among estate jewellery is Georgian jewellery, featuring designs from the time period 1714 to 1837 in England, when King George I to IV and William IV reigned. The process of handcrafting the intricate and ornate Georgian jewellery was labour intensive. Dangle earrings, cameos, and chokers with gemstones were among the popular items. The period’s many motifs included foliage, flowers, ribbons, and bows. Grape leaves and Greek laurel motifs reflected the culture’s interest in Pompeii, and Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign influenced the popularity of papyrus leaves and pyramid motifs.

The Purchase

Instead of buying new, you can opt for an exceptional piece of estate jewellery that will give you pleasure each time you wear it. By purchasing estate jewellery from Colonial Acres, you have the assurance that each piece has been inspected and is in great condition. Whether you are looking for an engagement ring, an important gift, or jewellery that reflects your own sense of style, choose history, value, ethics, and an ongoing story. Choose estate jewellery.
