The beauty of antique and second-hand jewellery is the history behind it, imagining the stories behind the previous owners and how they wore these beautiful pieces. To be considered antique, something will be over 100 years old, while something vintage is between 20 and 100 years old. Buying antique jewellery in store is a great way to get beautiful design, craftsmanship and diamonds for a fraction of the price they would cost new. It allows you to own jewellery that is unique and different and often made bespoke for the original owner.
