Q. 7th of 7 parts on estate and period jewelry. |
|
| A. The primary reason for investing in antique jewelry, as opposed to other works of art, is the simple fact that it can still be put to its original purpose -- that being to complement beauty and fashion. Some collectors enjoy antique jewelry for its historic or academic value, but most also appreciate jewels from a bygone era that still serves to flatter modern styles and at the same time add that inimitable touch of antique charm.
There are many affordable reproductions available in today’s market, so it is best to be knowledgeable about estate and antique styles. Always be sure to look for genuine period pieces in the best original condition and have them checked by a professional jeweler. |
