Is Antique Jewellery A Good investment?

Like all antique and collectable items the value of antique jewellery varies widely. Some will be far cheaper than its new equivalent and thus very good value, while others will be far higher than a new piece due to its desirability and rarity. The factors which will make the item more expensive are the current value of the underlying materials used such as the weight and quality of the gold, weight, cut and clarity of the diamonds, the calibre of the maker as well as the overall aesthetic look of the piece. Much (but not all) fine antique jewellery will be hallmarked somewhere which allows you to work out some of these factors, but if you are not sure then it is always worth showing it to a specialist. company

Of late, some use the term to mean anything over 75 years old. This is a more recent interpretation given the scarcity of antiques in today's marketplace. The three graces features period fine jewelry and most of our collections fall well within the antique (over 100 years old) realm. Our specialty is eighteenth (18th) and nineteenth (19th) and early twentieth (20th) century jewelry. Some of the collections fall within the vintage or estate realm and each and every item will be clearly described with a date of origin.
