Estate

Jewelry is typically considered antique if it is at least 100 years old. The age is determined based on the date of manufacture or the era in which it was created. Antique jewelry often reflects the artistic styles and design trends of specific historical periods. It may showcase features and motifs that were popular during a particular era.

Traditional techniques like filigree, hand engraving, and enamel work might be evident in antique pieces.

For collectors and enthusiasts, the age, style, craftsmanship, and historical context of antique jewelry make it a fascinating and valuable category of adornment, often sought after for its uniqueness and connection to the past.
