Both vintage jewelry and antique jewelry can be very valuable, but, generally speaking, a well maintained antique piece will be worth more than a piece of similar quality and lower age. While not as intrinsically valuable as gold and diamonds, costume jewelry can also be worth reselling.

Does antique jewelry appreciate?

Antique jewelry is over a century old. While its age may increase its value, due to scarcity and demand, the reality is that its condition may have deteriorated. The better the condition of your antique jewelry, the higher resale price it will fetch.
