In a recent New York Times article, Angelina Chen, a senior jewelry specialist at Christie’s famous auction house, says that vintage jewelry is hot —“it’s on fire, basically!” she says.
Quig Bruning, head of jewelry at Sotheby’s, agrees, noting that Deco and ‘40s styles are popular, and that “‘70s/’80s are going crazy.”
According to the luxury lifestyle publication, Robb Report, jewels from the ‘90s are also sought after finds. “It’s not like buying a car where you have to wait for the computer chips and parts. Vintage jewelry is instant gratification.”
Every Piece Tells a Story
Just as a lot of top quality, reclaimed clothing was carefully sewn to be sturdy, our antique, estate, vintage and other previously loved pieces were created to stand the test of time. In most instances, you’ll be wearing a uniquely designed masterpiece that you won’t likely find elsewhere. And how romantic is it to be writing a new chapter to the story your lovely diamond and precious metal ring, gold necklace or bejeweled bracelet has to tell?
David Craig Jewelers offers top quality, pre-loved fine jewelry at dramatic savings, with something for every budget and taste. You can choose from elegant bracelets and rings to one-of-a-kind antique hairpins and necklaces, vintage broches and more. You’ll save on great styles in gemstones, precious metals, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings for yourself or a loved one. You’ll find treasures galore in our showcases. And we guarantee craftsmanship.
Sustainability Counts, Too
Buying vintage and antique turns you into a conservator rather than a consumer, since you’re purchasing an item that did not require any new resources to be produced.
Style Statements
Treat yourself or a loved one to a fine jewelry style statement from David Craig Jewelers. Half the fun of buying is hunting for your personal treasure! Stop on in and let us explain some of the intricate techniques and styles incorporated into these irresistible, authentic creations.
Purchasing new jewelry for a loved one (or yourself!) is an exciting adventure. New is great. But there are also many advantages to buying previously loved jewelry instead, and we’d like to talk about a few of them here:
- It’s a Sustainable Purchase: Buying vintage jewelry is an eco-friendly option. You’re investing in jewelry that doesn’t require manufacturing, new metals or gem mining.
- You Could Save Money: In most instances, you’ll pay a lot less than you would for a comparable ring, necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings.
- It’s Unique: Love that vintage bracelet? You probably won’t see another one like it since a lot of vintage or antique pieces we offer were not manufactured for the masses.
- The Quality is Top Notch: Some schools of thought consider the pearls of yesteryear, for instance, to be even better quality due to the less-populated oceans of years past.
- Your Purchase Could Increase in Value: Antique jewelry often appreciates over time.
- Precious Metals Are Durable: Provided that the piece was reasonably maintained, the quality should be indistinguishable from a piece made today.
- You’ll Flaunt Artistic Flair: Tell a story from a time period you find appealing by sporting an estate or vintage piece from decades past.
