Antique Style Jewelry & Period Pieces
Antique style jewelry is not antique jewelry or a reproduction…or a replica.
Antique jewelry refers to jewelry pieces that are over 100 years old. These may include antique necklaces and pendants, brooches and pins, bracelets, rings and earrings that were made during the Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau and early Art Deco periods.
Antique Style Jewelry is a term used to describe newly manufactured jewelry pieces that are not necessarily exact reproductions but simply “made in the style” of a period piece.
Difference Between Antique Style Jewelry & Reproduction
It is important to note that antique style jewelry is quite different from antique reproduction or replica jewelry.
A replica is basically a costume jewelry piece and does not belong to the “fine” jewelry category. Reproduction jewelry items are exact copies of original antique jewelry pieces.
Dover Jewelry and Antiques carries a great selection of antique style jewelry including Antique Style Engagement Rings.
