Understanding the Estate Jewellery Marketplace
Of the estate jewellery on the market most are not in top condition and have diamonds and gemstones that do not have very significant value in today’s market. Estate jewellery can be difficult to sell with a restricted market and as rare and valuable as they seem most antique jewellers will sell them for a fraction of their on-paper valuation and below what it would cost to replace.
Vintage and Antique Jewellery
There are though many exceptions where vintage and antique second-hand jewellery can be quite expensive. There are a small number of generally either elite branded or historically significant jewellery where the demand for these items is high enough that the value is retained to achieve a sale price at or even above the replacement cost of the jewellery.
High-Value Vintage and Antique Jewellery
Many pieces of vintage and antique second-hand jewellery are very high-value but the difference is that they are worth more kept as jewellery than what they are if they were to be broken down into individual components. This is very rare and often a lot of these pieces will go to one of the world’s premier auctioneers to achieve the greatest value possible.

Antique and Reproduction Engagement Rings
Antique rings are great if you are looking for a vintage twist for your engagement ring but a genuine antique can be very difficult to find when you are looking for something specific. There are many reproductions that are released that help keep many of these style designs alive but another great option is to purchase an antique diamond or gemstone and design it into a new or reproduction design.
Antique engagement rings come from a whole range of eras, each presenting a
different style of design, skill and gems. Most antiques in Australia were not made here and generally originate from England, Europe and Russia and the jewellery is recognisable to their historical periods. Edwardian, Victorian, Elizabethan, Art Deco etc.
One of the most distinctive and popular eras of design are Art Deco engagement rings which have always been popular and have a very distinct design that is continually being reproduced with modern twists.
If you are in the market for something a little unique or a vintage twist give one of our consultants a call and we can assist with all your requirements.
Show more +Antique Cut Diamonds
Of all estate jewellery, a large antique-style diamond will present the most value and is the most desired by antique collectors and those wishing to create a vintage look to their jewellery.
Diamonds have been used in jewellery for centuries and were first polished to add extra shine to the diamond in the 14th century.
The cut of the diamonds in an antique engagement ring is a great indication of the age of a ring. Any ring earlier than the 1940s to 1950s can be expected to have diamonds that predate the modern style brilliant cut diamonds.
Vintage European Cut Diamonds
Old cut or old European cut diamonds are a simplified version of the modern cut diamond with a distinctively large culet visible through the table. The older European cut diamond has a slightly higher crown and a smaller table size than the old cut. These diamonds really have exceptional beauty and are particularly effective and in high demand for large sizes over 1.5ct and are the most popular antique diamonds on the market.
Old miners cut diamonds are a more rudimentary shape to the natural rough diamond and require a less precise shape. As their name suggests they were often cut by the miners themselves at the prospecting grounds, with a very subtle yet attractive brilliance, these are what has now become the modern cushion cut design.
For all antique and old cut diamond enquiries please call our office for further assistance if you do what you need as we may be able to source you an antique diamond.
