If you adore the timeless look of vintage jewelry but don’t have much of a collection yourself, there are several tricks you can try to help you pick out the right pieces. Vintage jewelry can vary in price and it’s available in many places online, in vintage stores, and in open-air markets. Whether you’re looking for something of value to sell in the future, or simply for your latest statement accessory, you’ll find the right piece for you. Here are a few top tips on how to build a collection of vintage jewelry.

Buy what you love

Even if you’re planning on selling the piece later on, it’s always important to buy what you love. This is one of the first pieces of advice many experts give to people looking to build a collection of vintage jewelry. If you choose an item that truly resonates with you and matches your unique personality and style, then you’ll get more satisfaction out of it whether you wear it or sell it. Check out vintage markets and stores, or even online marketplaces from a piece that really stands out to you. 

Do your research

If you’re serious about building a collection of quality items, then you need to do a bit of research and train your eye to look for certain things. Before investing in a brand, such as a luxury vintage watchmaker, find out as much as you can. This will help you determine the value of the item you’re interested in. There are plenty of informative websites online where you can read guidelines and articles such as WatchBox’s overview of the Nautilus.

Only purchase from reputable jewelers

When shopping for vintage jewelry, it is important to only purchase pieces from reputable jewelers. Not all vintage jewelry is created equal, and you don’t want to end up with a bunch of fake or low-quality pieces. You can search online for reputable wholesale jewelry experts or ask friends and family for recommendations. If you are buying vintage jewelry online, be sure to do your research on the seller before making a purchase. Only agree to pay for the jewelry in person once you have inspected the piece.

Check the mark

Another thing you need to research is types of jewelry marks. These will tell you more about the piece from the material, to its age and maker. Hallmarks will indicate the quality of metals and gemstones, whereas official stamps will give you more information about the brand and the product’s history. Here is a guide to jewelry maker’s marks with more information.

Be vary of price 

If you come across a designer vintage piece for next to nothing, it’s probably too good to be true. An unbelievably low price could be an indication that it’s not genuine or good quality. Having said that, you can find plenty of second-hand bargains at online marketplaces and in thrift stores. Ask the seller for documentation and more information about the item and give it a thorough inspection if you can before investing. 

Look for classic brands 

If you’re planning on selling your vintage jewelry in the future, look for classic luxury brands that will be popular for a long time. These include Chanel, Dior, Carnegie and Trifari, for example. This type of custom jewelry will always be in style and these are some of the most collectible brands. Whether you’re looking to build a valuable collection or simply in need of a statement piece for your next event, go vintage. This way you can guarantee individuality and style.
