Jewellery is a sentimental investment, and for some, art pieces to collect and savour. While we cannot deny the stunning fine jewellery collections we’ve seen from jewellery houses recently, the jewellery from the past holds its own unique charm.
Vintage and antique jewellery hold value that can rarely be recreated with the same attention to detail and quality, which is why those who enjoy collecting jewellery often look towards the past. Perhaps, this is the reason so many people choose heirloom jewellery that has been passed down to them from parents or older family members as totems for auspicious occasions throughout life.
