Watch: How to Buy and Sell Vintage Jewelry
Three guests joined National Jeweler and Jewelers of America to discuss trending time periods, spotting reproductions, and more.
Antique and estate jewelry is hot right now, its popularity fueled by consumers who want something that is both unique to them and sustainable.
And there is nothing more sustainable than buying a piece of jewelry that was made 20, 50, or 100 years ago.
On the latest episode of “My Next Question,” three guests joined National Jeweler and Jewelers of America to discuss the ins and outs of selling pre-owned jewelry, whether it is vintage (at least 20 but less than 100 years old) or antique (over 100 years old).
They were: Cathy Calhoun, owner of Calhoun Jewelers; Lauren Levy, founder of Lauren DeYoung Jewelry, and The Jewelers Circle Chief Operating Officer Julie Thompson.
They discussed the importance of antique/estate jewelry education, what time periods are popular among customers, and navigating the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show (coming up May 30-June 2) as a first-time attendee.
