What is the definition of antique jewellery?
In jewellery trade terms, the term ‘antique’, it usually refers to pieces of jewellery that are over 100 years old. Whilst ‘vintage’ usually describes a piece that was made between 50 and 100 years ago.
Antique jewellery tends to be handmade, or at least hand finished, meaning that although pieces might appear to be similar, each piece will have unique characteristics.
