Paste jewelry was popular as a cheaper alternative to diamonds during the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian eras, as well as the Art Deco period. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage paste jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023

  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    To tell if antique jewelry is real, first look for hallmarks that may signify the maker. You can then use trusted online resources to find out what to look for to verify authenticity.

  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To know if your antique jewelry is valuable, you can consult trusted online resources to see what similar pieces have sold for in the past. It is important to note that the condition of your specific piece will have a major effect on how much it is worth. Jewelry of a certain historical period will be worth more to collectors than accessories from other less noteworthy eras, and whether or not a given accessory is set with a precious gemstone may affect its value as well. You may wish to have the jewelry evaluated by a certified appraiser who can examine the piece and give you a price estimate. Master jewelry designers and luxury houses of the 19th and 20th centuries include Cartier, Tiffany Co., Van Cleef Arpels, BVLGARI and others. Shop a collection of jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023
    To tell if jewelry is vintage or antique, first look for any hallmarks that signify its maker. You can use trusted online resources to research when the maker was active and producing pieces similar to yours to roughly estimate its age. Jewelry is vintage if it's between 20 and 99 years old, and antique if it is 100 years old or more. If you're unable to locate a maker's hallmark, becoming familiar with the materials and other characteristics used during different eras of jewelry can help you date your piece. When in doubt, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of vintage and antique jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    Yes, some antique jewelry does go up in value. It is important to note that demand as well as the condition of your specific piece will have a major effect on how much it is worth.

You may wish to have the jewelry evaluated by a certified appraiser who can examine the piece and estimate its value.

  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    Yes, some antique jewelry is worth money. Precious metals and gemstones like platinum, gold, silver, diamonds and emeralds have value on their own. Even costume jewelry made of less expensive materials may prove valuable due to its style or maker. Because the condition also impacts the potential value of antique pieces, you may wish to have your jewelry evaluated by a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of antique jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell if antique jewelry is real gold, you can first perform a simple home test. Position a magnet near the jewelry. Since gold isn't naturally magnetic, the attraction between the magnet and your piece usually indicates that your jewelry is, at most, gold-plated or crafted out of an entirely different metal. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable jeweler can also help you determine what your antique jewelry is made of. Shop a diverse assortment of antique gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
