Estate Jewelry Condition Guide

Excellent Estate Jewelry Condition
Antique, vintage, estate items that show minimal wear. Items in this condition have likely been worn very little or not at all. They have been stored very carefully.

Very Fine Estate Jewelry Condition
Normal wear in respect with the age of the item.

Fine Estate Jewelry Condition
Items have been regularly worn and wear is visible.

Good Estate Jewelry Condition
Wear is openly visible. Description will advise of wear.

We gently clean our estate jewelry collection. We do not buff or polish away years of patina that we feel changes the integrity of the piece. We do not remove stones from settings and unless otherwise noted, all statements regarding gem identification, weight, quality, or clarity of the diamonds and gemstones are our best estimate.
