What old jewelry is worth money?

1 Answer
What old jewelry is worth money?
Many kinds of old jewelry are worth money. In fact, the tally of pieces that may be valuable is too long to list. Vintage and antique pieces from luxury makers like Cartier, Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels and David Webb often appreciate over time, and older costume jewelry made by Trifari, CINER, Miriam Haskell and Coro may also fetch high prices due to the great demand for it. Fine jewelry may also have considerable value based solely on its materials, such as gemstones, platinum, sterling silver or gold. A certified appraiser, antique dealer or jeweler can provide valuations for any pieces you own. Shop a large selection of antique and vintage jewelry on 1stDibs.
