Jewelry Info: Estate Jewelry

For over 28 years, our crowded jewelry museum has showcased period jewelry from 1700's - present, and all of it is for sale.

Peter's specialty is finding special pieces from diamonds to colored stones on the estate market and selling them at fair prices. If you can't find it anywhere else, we probably have it.

Period pieces have a special appeal to nostalgia buffs and as well as collectors and cutting edge consumers. Owning and wearing a piece of jewelry from a bygone era is a way of honoring and appreciating the past. The popularity of antique jewelry continues to grow as more people discover the timeless beauty and remarkable craftsmanship of each period. Flowers, hearts, bows and birds inspired beautiful pieces which showed the craftsmanship of the Victorian age.

Jewelry which was created during the Art Nouveau period embodied art for the sake of art, as well as a dramatic trend in fashion. Light and airy designs became hallmarks of Edwardian jewelry. During the Art Deco period, the emphasis shifted from soft colors and flowing lines to bold, bright colors and straight lines. Peter's collection includes contemporary pieces as well as jewelry from the following periods: Art Deco, Edwardian, Victorian, Art Nouveau, and Retro.

Estate jewelry offers a genuine value - a rare find in these times. The finest pre-owned Estate jewels usually sell for substantially less than modern designer jewelry. Estate jewelry tends to go up in value as well.
