Antique jewellery refers to pieces that are over 100 years old, each one carrying the charm, craftsmanship, and story of a bygone era.
From the intricate designs of the Victorian period to the romantic flourishes of the Edwardian era, antique jewellery reflects the aesthetics, materials, and social values of its time.
Often handcrafted with exceptional detail and set with natural gemstones, these treasures are not only beautiful adornments but also tangible links to history, love, and legacy.
As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewellery from Avenue J Jewellery will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan.
We encourage you to have your jewellery checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweller every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place.
It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one!
As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewellers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewellery.
