Nowadays, the resurgence of vintage jewelry is on the rise, but do you really know the difference between a vintage jewel and an antique jewel? Are all vintage earrings considered antique earrings?
The answer is... No.
In our jewelry store, we specialize in vintage pieces, carefully selected for their authenticity and timeless beauty. A vintage item is defined as one that is at least 20 years old, whose aesthetic value and design are representative of its era of origin. These second-hand pieces boast a design that encapsulates the aesthetic style of their period. You can find vintage handbags, vintage dresses... and, of course, vintage earrings.
On the other hand, an antique earring is a jewel with a minimum of 100 years of age. These pieces date back to another era and are crafted with different techniques, often with significant historical value. Antique earrings may be adorned with enamels, fine pearls, or gold alloys different from those used today. It's a whole different world.
As you can see, the difference is significant, and in our vintage-specialized jewelry store, we offer a careful selection of vintage jewelry that captures the unique essence of its era.
