Why buy vintage jewelry?

These jewels frequently present original creations which stand out from contemporary mass production.

The advantages of vintage jewelry 

A more durable piece of jewelry

Vintage jewelry shows itself by nature more environmentally friendly than new jewelry. Unlike the original pieces, these jewels did not require extraction of stone or minerals, nor multiple assembly operations. And if they have traveled by changing hands and undergone a few maintenance sessions, carbon footprint of the latter is incommensurate with those of new jewelry. Like all second-hand products, vintage jewelry is undoubtedly more durable than new ones.

A cheaper piece of jewelry

The price argument is true for the majority of jewelry. On average, we estimate the discount of a vintage jewel compared to a new one from 20% to 30%. The price range depends on the diversity of materials used, the creators, the age of the jewel, its rarity, its demand. But what is true for 90% of jewelry is not true for the remaining 10% whose value may be lower or, conversely, much higher than that of new jewelry. The approach in the latter case is different. It is no longer a question of treat yourself to a luxury piece of jewelry has a more reasonable price but to acquire a collector's item. And it pays for itself.
