At a time where there are so many contemporary jewellers at all levels of design and price it is fascinating that antique and vintage jewellery are so popular across the board. Global demand for antique jewellery has grown enormously in the last ten years. Antique jewellers world wide are finding high demand and difficulty of acquiring sufficient high end stock a two edged sword. Christies and Sothebys in Europe for a number of years have reported their estimates for antique jewellery are regularly exceeded often by up to three hundred percent while exceptional pieces go through the roof. 

Exceptional workmanship in fine pieces, intrinsic value and enduring iconic styles are not the only causes of this surge in popularity. Individual and often rare pieces epitomise luxury. You are unlikely to see someone else wearing the same piece and people love to express their personality by wearing such unusual pieces. A beautifully styled and made antique jewel complements modern fashion and lifestyle in a way that is unique and memorable. The variety of choice in antique and vintage jewellery is extraordinary. It ranges from the delicate to the bold, the macabre to the sentimental, classic restraint to the most extravagant and quirky. At the same time a strong sense of history, tradition and sentiment is associated with antique jewellery. These jewels, still beautiful, relevant, wearable and desirable having passed the test of time are a reassuring acquisition - heirlooms to be passed down a family to yet another generation.
