Buyer's Guide - Questions About Estate Jewellery
Down Arrow Icon Minus Icon

WHAT IS ESTATE JEWELLERY?
Estate jewellery is a term used to describe highly collectable, previously owned jewellery, although not necessarily vintage. It will often provide the consumer with unique and unusual jewellery, at far superior prices than similar merchandise in a retail environment.

WHAT IS VINTAGE JEWELLERY?
Vintage jewellery allows the discerning shopper to add items that are unique and exclusive to their own jewellery wardrobe. Vintage jewellery is defined as jewellery that is over 20 years old, while antique jewellery is over 100 years old. To be labelled as proper vintage jewellery, the piece must not be altered in any way from its original state. Vintage jewellery is highly sought after due to the fact that they are unique pieces, and never come in ‘limited editions’ or ‘limited stock’.

WHO PROVIDES THE APPRAISALS?
Our appraisals are performed by an independent third party jewellery appraisal service. GS Laboratories is an independent gemological laboratory specializing in profession diamond grading and jewellery appraisal services. Their Canadian operation, based in Toronto, has become the largest and most prominent diamond and jewellery grading laboratory in Canada. GS Laboratories employs highly qualified certified gemologists using state-of-the-art gemological equipment to ensure an accurate, professional appraisal. For more information, please visit their website at www.gemscan.com.
