Antique jewelry — value and care
What makes old pieces valuable — and how to preserve them.
Antique jewelry (pre-1950) draws value from history, craftsmanship and rarity. Patina is often an asset — don't polish!
Clean only with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Aggressive agents destroy gilding and stone settings.
We appraise antique pieces for free at the store. If restorable, we do it in the atelier — gently, without losing the original character.
