Frequently Asked Questions About "You and Me" Jewelry
In the jewellery trade, a piece is generally considered antique when it is at least one hundred years old. Vintage refers to jewellery from previous decades, commonly twenty years old or more, although commercial usage varies. A new jewel inspired by historical designs is a reproduction or a vintage-style piece; its appearance does not establish its age
Request detailed photographs of hallmarks, signatures, settings and the back of the piece, along with a written description of its materials, attributed period and known restoration work. For valuable gemstones, ask for an independent laboratory report. An in-person examination by a specialist can help verify the information: photographs and marks alone do not guarantee authenticity.
Check the issuing laboratory, report number and whether the document matches the gemstone. Depending on the report type, it should record identification, measurements, weight where measurable, whether the stone is natural or laboratory-grown, and detectable treatments. Geographical origin is included only in certain services and when it can be determined. A gemological report is not a financial appraisal.
Some antique cuts, such as old European and old mine cuts, typically feature a smaller table, a high crown and a visible culet. Their outlines and facets may also be less uniform than those of a modern round brilliant. These characteristics help identify the cutting style, but they do not prove the diamond’s age: diamonds are still cut in antique styles today.
Restoration may be worthwhile when a jewel has sentimental value, you want to wear it or a repair can help preserve it in good condition. Before deciding, obtain a condition assessment, a repair estimate and a valuation. For historically significant or signed jewellery, consider how the work might affect its originality and avoid irreversible alterations without specialist advice.
