Collectible Vintage Fashion Jewelry
Antique and vintage jewelry has a charm quite its own and is special to different people for different reasons. Some people buy it for the unique & classic designs or fashion value, others buy them as collectibles. Collectible Vintage & Estate jewelry is a passion that can be matched with few others since with every purchase you own a piece of history, art and fashion. The most popular vintage jewelry periods are Victorian, Art Nouveau and the Art Deco.
Vintage Jewelry Styles & Periods
Early patrons of jewelry were the European royals and their taste had great influence on styles and fashions of vintage and antique jewelry from those periods. The Victorian period was symbolized by heavy gold settings with nature motifs such as flowers, leaves & animals while sleek platinum rings and designs were in vogue during the Edwardian period. These guys had the three important attributes of being connoisseurs - time, taste and wealth.
There was another great change that came with the dawn of the Victorian period. Antique jewelry from the Victorian period developed hand in hand with the Industrial Revolution. Jewelers that until now designed and sold only to the royals and nobles started making jewelry available for the masses. They also had new jewelry making tools which had their own influence on jewelry design and made mass production possible.
