Jewelry is considered vintage if it is at least 20–30 years old but less than 100 years old. Look for signs like hallmark stamps, unique design elements, and materials popular in specific eras.

• Hallmarks and Stamps – Look for manufacturer marks, metal purity stamps, or designer signatures to date the piece.
• Design and Materials – Vintage jewelry often reflects the styles and materials popular in specific decades, like Art Deco, Retro, or Mid-Century.
• Condition – While not always pristine, vintage jewelry is generally well-preserved and shows minimal signs of wear

Consulting an expert appraiser can help confirm its vintage status.
