Is Antique Jewelry a good investment?

Yes, over the years, quality jewelry has almost never lost value. Antique jewelry is fast becoming a favorite investment, and approved dealers are seeing a strong growth in wealthy customers and collectors.

Recently, there has been a strong trend towards vintage fashion and antique jewelry. On today's red carpet, retro designs regularly rub shoulders with the latest Couture pieces from Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix and Chanel. Barbra Streisand was one of the first celebrities to wear and perform in vintage fashion and jewels. Sharon Stone, Wynona Ryder, Nicole Kidman and Chloe Sevigny are other high profile celebrities who have discovered the allure of vintage jewelry.

Is Vintage Jewelry the New Collectible?

It is important to note that the rich continue to spend and invest. However, many of the normal investment havens for the wealthy have become risky. For that reason precious metals and vintage jewelry have enjoyed exceptional growth and popularity in recent years and that trend is expected to continue.

​

It is interesting that although many of the world’s economies are down, 5 Star hotels, airlines and luxury brands are enjoying very high revenues! We have seen growth in quality jewelry sales among our members.

Is this piece Vintage or Antique? Art Nouveau? Art Deco? How do I know?

Vintage or Antique?
When someone admires your vintage jewelry and asks what period it comes from, are you stumped? Here is a quick guide to dating pieces that are truly vintage. Basically antique jewelry is any piece over 100 years old and vintage jewelry is considered as that dated between 1940 and 1980, but there are various periods in each of the two classification.

Georgian Jewelry (1714-1837):
This jewelry was most often handmade, so that each unique piece varied in quality, depending on the maker. Georgian jewelry often featured shapes from nature, such as birds and flowers. Jewelry from this period included precious and semi precious stones such as garnets, diamonds, coral, and topaz. Georgian jewelry is very rare and highly collectible.

Early Victorian Jewelry (1837-1850):
Jewelry from this period, like Georgian, often reflected nature based designs which were commonly etched in intricate gold filigree patterns. Lockets and brooches were very popular during this time period. For evening, one would often wear gemstones or diamonds.

Mid-Victorian Jewelry (1860-1880):
This period coincided with the death of Queen Victoria’s husband, Albert, when she went into a period of mourning for him. Many jewelry pieces from the this Mid Victorian period had a more subdued, austere, and somber design. Mourning pieces made of black jet, onyx and deep red garnets abounded. This period also resulted in different ways of using gems and metals, which resulted in much bolder and more colorful designs. Japanese themes were popular in this period.

Late Victorian Jewelry (1885-1900):
This was an aesthetic period of jewelry design, with feminine colors and a big use of gemstones. Hat pins were especially popular as fashion accessories

Arts and Crafts Jewelry (1894-1923):
The industrial Revolution, with the advance of mass technology inspired designers of this period to return to intricate craftsmanship in their designs. The jewelry was colorful with simple patterns

Art Nouveau Jewelry (1895-1915):
The graceful Art Nouveau period started with designers in France and those in America following suit. Look for graceful flower designs with an abundance of dragonflies and other insects.

Edwardian Jewelry (1901-1910):
After the death of Queen Victoria, the Edwardian era was ushered in when her son Edward took the throne. This was a lavish period with pearls and diamonds in jewelry with emeralds, rubies and other gemstone accents. Highly decorative and elaborate period.

Art Deco Jewelry (1920-1935):
This was a period of bright colors in contrast to each other, as well as a preponderance of geometric shapes and very strong lines. Look for Egyptian, Japanese and African themes. Bakelite and celluloid became very popular too.

Retro Jewelry (1940s - to about 1980):
The jewelry from this period was elaborate and colorful with an array of gold and gemstones. It had Hollywood for its inspiration, so the retro jewelry was somewhat larger than life in style. This was a period when charm bracelets became a favorite jewelry item.

2.        OVERVIEW OF IAJE SERVICES
IAJE provides online auction services which allow Buyers who cannot be physically present at an auction site an opportunity to participate in the live auction through real-time webcast online bidding (“live bidding”) and allow Buyers who are unable to personally monitor the live auction webcast the opportunity to participate by entering an absentee bid (“pre-bidding”). IAJE also provides timed online auctions services.
All auctions are operated by independent Sellers. The Sellers are solely responsible for running each auction and regulating each sale. While this Agreement contains a set of default terms governing the relationship between a Buyer and Seller, each Seller has the discretion to alter those terms for their individual auction and may impose Special Terms of Sale for participation. (See “DEFAULT AUCTION TERMS” under Section 5 below.)

Sellers have the ultimate discretion over approving or rejecting Buyers for each auction. Creating an account as a Buyer with IAJE does not automatically guarantee that a Buyer will be approved for any of the auctions hosted by IAJE.
Many Sellers have their own websites and their own Special Terms of Sale which modify and/or supplement the Default Auction Terms set forth under Section 5 below and may or may not contain the same level of protection as the terms of this Agreement. Before participating in an auction, Buyer must review and accept the Special Terms of Sale governing the particular auction, if any. A Seller shall not make any material changes to the Special Terms of Sale governing an open auction unless the Seller has provided written notice to all Buyers participating in the auction. Any participating Buyer who does not receive such notice shall have the right to retract the Buyer’s bid.
Because the Internet occasionally experiences disruptions, IAJE cannot guarantee its services will be available 100% of the time. Although IAJE strives to provide the most reliable services possible, interruptions and delays in service are unavoidable and IAJE disclaims any liability for damages resulting from such disruptions. Thus, you use this website at your own risk.
IAJE reserves the right to not conduct business with any individual Seller or Buyer or groups of Sellers or Buyers at any time for any reason, and to cancel any scheduled auction at any time and for any reason. IAJE may terminate or deny access to this Website at any time at our sole and absolute discretion. IAJE will not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential damages that result from such actions.

3.        BUYER OBLIGATIONS
3.1        Payment to Seller. Placing a bid is a legally binding obligation. If you are the successful Buyer, you agree to pay the amount of your bid plus all applicable taxes and charges in the time and manner designated by the Seller.

3.2        Payment to IAJE. The parties acknowledge and agree that IAJE is paid up to five percent (5%) of any successful bid utilizing the IAJE Services (the “IAJE Premium”), and the Seller incorporates such IAJE Premium into the total purchase price due from the successful Buyer. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its payment of the IAJE Premium to IAJE is in consideration for Buyer’s use of the IAJE Services to become the successful bidder and such payment obligation is not contingent upon the consummation of the sale transaction between Buyer and Seller. Accordingly, notwithstanding and without limiting Buyer’s payment obligation to Seller set forth in Section 3.1 above or Section 5 below (or the Seller’s Special Terms), in the event for any reason the transaction between the Buyer and the Seller is not consummated or the Buyer otherwise does not make payment of the total purchase price owed to Seller with respect to the successful bid, within fifteen (15) days of the date of the bid, the successful Buyer agrees to pay the IAJE Premium directly to IAJE. Any default in payment will be subject to interest and collection fees as set forth under Section 27 below.

Buyers expressly acknowledge and agree that IAJE makes no guarantee or representation regarding the effectiveness or success of pre-bids. By placing a pre-bid, a Buyer expressly authorizes IAJE to begin bidding and continue bidding on Buyer’s behalf at any price in excess of the opening bid (determined by the Seller in its discretion) up to the amount of the pre-bid. Buyer expressly acknowledges that IAJE owes no duty to Buyer to obtain the lowest possible price on behalf of the Buyer and Buyer may be able to enter a successful bid at a lower price if Buyer were to actively participate in the auction.
3.4        Disclosure of Maximum Pre-Bids to Seller. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that a Seller may have access to and knowledge of Buyer’s maximum pre-bid and may determine the starting bid based in whole or in part on the amount of Buyer’s maximum pre-bid; provided that Seller must affirmatively “enable” such access and Buyer will be provided notice that such access to maximum pre-bids has been enabled by the Seller prior to Buyer’s submission of the maximum pre-bid.

If Seller has provided to IAJE a designated credit or debit card for payment to IAJE hereunder, Seller hereby represents and warrants to IAJE that Seller is the authorized owner of such credit/debit card account and hereby authorizes and directs IAJE to make recurring charges to such credit/debit card in payment of all amounts due to IAJE under this Section 4.2, and, if necessary, initiate adjustments for any transactions credited or debited in error. This authority shall remain in effect for so long as Seller maintains an account with IAJE or until IAJE is earlier notified by Seller in writing to cancel such authorization in such time and manner as to afford IAJE a reasonable opportunity to act upon it.

Once a timed Auction Event has started, Seller may not cancel, add, or remove any lots or modify the end time of the Auction Event unless Seller has obtained IAJE’s prior written approval (which may be withheld in IAJE’s sole discretion and may require an additional fee paid by Seller).
(b) Catalog. Seller must submit to IAJE substantially all of the content for the catalog not less than 24 hours before the scheduled Auction Event.

Any attempt to list a product “AS IS” without a clear and conspicuous description of the defect is a violation of this Agreement.
Seller shall not knowingly misrepresent any items. All catalog descriptions must accurately describe the items for sale, and all photos must be original. If Seller uses stock photos, Seller must disclose so in the catalog description as well as in the Special Terms of Sale for the auction.
IAJE does not evaluate the quality of the items auctioned or verify the claims made by Seller regarding your auctioned items. However, IAJE reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, 1) to prohibit Seller from promoting and/or selling certain items; and 2) to replace any image or content on this website.

Seller further acknowledges and agrees the role of IAJE with respect to the sale of products is limited to providing a conduit through which a prospective purchaser is able to participate in an auction without physically being present; IAJE does not review or evaluate the products auctioned or verify the claims made by Seller regarding the products.
Each Seller expressly represents that Seller is presently in full compliance with and shall continue to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations relating to the licensing, distribution, and sale of any products Seller promotes or sells through IAJE (hereinafter, the “Regulations”), including without limitation (i) the Gun Control Act of 1968 and all regulations promulgated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (collectively the “Firearms Regulations”), (ii) the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act of 2008, and all regulations promulgated by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission, and (iii) the Indian Arts & Crafts Act of 1990 and any additional laws and regulations applicable to the sale of Indian arts and crafts.
Seller hereby agrees that the Seller shall at all times defend, indemnify and hold harmless IAJE, its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, awards, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees), causes of action, suits, claims, demands, and judgments of any nature or kind, arising under or resulting from: (i) the use, sale, or distribution of any products in violation of any Regulations; (ii) Seller’s use of IAJE in connection with the sale of any products subject to any Regulations; and (iii) Seller’s alleged or actual violation or breach of any Regulations.
4.10        PCI Compliance - The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance Standard is a set of requirements designed to ensure that all companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. All auctions on IAJE that require access to the full credit card number for invoicing require the Seller to view this information through the Auction Payment Network (www.apn.com) client application. No Winning Buyer Report will be available. This downloadable application is the only method of accessing credit card information for payment processing for IAJE-run events. These changes are required to ensure we provide all Sellers with a safe and secure payment system that is PCI-Compliant.

5.        DEFAULT AUCTION TERMS
Unless and except as expressly set forth in any Special Terms of Sale, Buyers and Sellers agree to the following Default Auction Terms:
1. Seller agrees that all goods and property sold “AS IS” (attempting to disclaim implied warranties) shall include a clear and conspicuous description of any known defect(s) of the product (for example: “broken,” “missing parts,” “for parts only”).
2. Buyers are encouraged to bid only after they are completely satisfied as to origin, authenticity and condition. Questions regarding any item being sold should be directed to the auction staff at least 48 hours prior to the auction.
3. Seller is allowing Buyer to participate in the auction through Internet pre-bidding and live bidding. Buyer acknowledges and understands that such services may or may not function correctly the day of the auction. Under no circumstances shall Buyer have any kind of claim against Seller or anyone else if the Internet service fails to work correctly before or during the live auction. Seller will not be responsible for any missed bids from any source. Internet Buyers, who desire to increase the chance that their bid is acknowledged during a live event, should use the pre-bidding feature.
4. Due to the complexity of modern electronics and digital photography it is often impossible to get an exact and consistent reproduction of color. Therefore, the only flawless manner to assess the color saturation and detail of any graphic is by personally viewing the subject. Seller will not be responsible for any variation between the catalog image and the actual piece.
5. Seller may postpone or cancel the auction, withdraw any property from the auction, or change any terms of the auction or particular conditions of sale prior to the auction.
6. All announcements made on the day of the sale supersede all printed material.
7. If Seller determines that any opening bid is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, Seller may reject that opening bid and withdraw the article from sale; and, if having acknowledged an opening bid, Seller decides that any advance thereafter is not of sufficient amount, Seller may reject the advance.
8. Certain items in the sale are being offered subject to reserve, which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold.
9. Items may be offered with a “minimum bid,” in which case, the Seller agrees to sell the item to the highest bidder who bids at or above the minimum bid price.
10. Buyer’s premium is set by the Seller and will be added to the high bid to determine the total purchase price paid by the Buyer.
11. Once a Buyer has won the bid, ownership of the item immediately passes to the Buyer who thereupon (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefore, and (b) shall pay the full purchase price therefore or such part as Seller may require. The item(s) becomes the full and sole responsibility of the Buyer at this point, and Buyer assumes all risk of loss and damage. The record of sale, kept by the auctioneer and clerk, will be taken as absolute and final in all disputes.
12. Delivery of the purchased items is the responsibility of the Buyer unless shipping is offered by the Seller.
13. Items sold must be picked up or shipping arranged within a reasonable amount of time or Buyer may be subject to removal and storage fees.
14. The value of an item purchased at the auction is unrelated to the cost of shipping/packing. A Buyer who is a reseller of items should take this into consideration and be aware of shipping charges before bidding.
15. Buyer must submit payment to Seller for all purchased items within thirty (30) days following receipt of an invoice. Such payment is subject to the terms of the invoice.
16. If, within a reasonable amount of time, Buyer gives notice in writing to IAJE with documentation from a reputable authenticator or provides a police report that the lot so sold is a counterfeit, Seller will rescind the sale and refund the purchase price including all fees. At such time, IAJE will refund any fees paid by the seller to IAJE for the lot sold.
17. These Default Auction Terms shall constitute a legally binding contract between Buyer and Seller, which contract shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Seller is located, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles of such state. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these Default Auction Terms and any Special Terms of Sale, the Special Terms of Sale shall prevail and govern.
Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that IAJE makes no guarantee or representation concerning the enforceability or merit of these Default Auction Terms and that these Default Auction Terms may not be enforceable or otherwise suitable for use in each state and for each Seller and auction. Sellers are strongly encouraged to engage an attorney licensed in Seller’s state to represent Seller and modify the Default Auction Terms for Seller’s particular needs and specific state law.
User acknowledges and agrees that IAJE has no responsibility or obligation to police or enforce compliance by Buyers or Sellers with the Default Auction Terms or Special Terms of Sale.

6.        DISPUTE RESOLUTION
6.1        Seller’s Return Policy and Privacy Policy - Every Seller must have a published return policy and a published privacy policy in the Auction Company’s Special Terms of Sale, even if that policy is returns are not permitted.
6.2        Seller’s Liability - Seller is responsible for all reversals, chargebacks, claims, fees, fines, penalties and other liability incurred by IAJE, a User, or a third-party caused by or arising out of Seller’s breach of this Agreement, the Default Auction Terms, or any Special Terms of Sale, and/or Seller’s use of the IAJE Services. Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless IAJE, other User, or a third party for any and all such liability.
6.3        Disputes between Users - In the event of a dispute between you and another User, you agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute, including contacting the other User by reasonable means and allowing the other User a reasonable time to respond. If you are unable to resolve a dispute directly with the other User through your own good faith efforts, you may contact our Operations Support Center and follow this process:
• Open a Dispute - If you are a Buyer, you must open a dispute within 45 calendar days of the date you made the payment for the item at the subject of the dispute. If you are a Seller, you must open a dispute within 10 calendar days from date of the event for the item at the subject of the dispute. If you are a Seller and the amount of money or value of property which is the subject of your dispute is less than $1000, IAJE may require that you pay an administrative fee before opening a dispute.
• Respond to IAJE’s requests for information in a timely manner - During the dispute process, IAJE may require you to provide documentation to support your position. You may be asked to provide receipts, third-party evaluations, police reports, or any other information or documentation that IAJE specifies.
• Comply with IAJE’s shipping requests in a timely manner - For Significantly Not as Described (SNAD) Claims, IAJE may require you, at your expense, to ship the item back to the Seller, or to IAJE, or to a third party and to provide proof of delivery. For transactions that total less than $250, proof of delivery is confirmation that can be viewed online and includes the delivery address showing at least city/state or zip, delivery date, and the URL to the shipping company’s website. For transactions that total $250 or more, you must obtain signature confirmation of delivery with online tracking.
• Dispute Resolution - IAJE will make a decision in favor of the Buyer or the Seller within a reasonable time after a claim is filed and the Users provide all requested information. IAJE retains full discretion to make a decision in favor of the Buyer or the Seller based on any criteria IAJE deems appropriate. In the event that IAJE makes a final decision in favor of the Buyer or Seller, each party must comply with IAJE’s decision. IAJE will generally require the Buyer to ship an item that the Buyer claims is Significantly Not as Described back to the Seller (at the Buyer’s expense), and IAJE will generally require a Seller to accept the item back and refund the Buyer the full purchase price plus original shipping costs. In the event a Seller loses a claim, the Seller will not receive a refund on his or her APN or IAJE fees associated with the transaction. If Seller loses a SNAD Claim because the item sold is counterfeit, Seller will be required to provide a full refund to the Buyer. Seller liability will include the full purchase price of the item and original shipping cost (and in some cases, Seller may not receive the item back).
6.4        Assumption of Rights - If IAJE pays out a claim, reversal or chargeback that you file against a recipient of your payment, you agree that IAJE assumes your rights against the recipient and third-parties related to the payment, and may pursue those rights directly or on your behalf, at IAJE’s discretion.
6.5        Release of IAJE - If you have a dispute with one or more Users, you release IAJE (and our officers, directors, agents, joint ventures and employees) from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
