How are the different categories defined?

Antique Jewelry
We consider as Antique Jewelry any item that we can identify by style or craftsmanship to be at least 100 years old. We also use the US Customs Service ruling as a standard on any duty free imported piece as being over 100 years old.

Period Jewelry
We consider as Period Jewelry items handcrafted prior to 1949, but are not old enough to be considered Antique. Included in this category are Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Retro, and Edwardian Jewelry.

Estate Jewelry
Estate Jewelry is often acquired from the Estates of a deceased. Also included are purchases from living estates or private parties. By definition, Estate Jewelry has had one or more previous owners.

Replica (or Reproduction) Jewelry
Items which are of a specific design of an authentic period or antique piece. Usually handmade, otherwise labor-intensive craftsmanship emulates the original. These items often contain estate diamonds and gemstones.

Do you have a particular item and are curious as to what era it might belong?
