Watch: How to Buy and Sell Vintage Jewelry
Three guests joined National Jeweler and Jewelers of America to discuss trending time periods, spotting reproductions, and more.
And there is nothing more sustainable than buying a piece of jewelry that was made 20, 50, or 100 years ago.
On the latest episode of “My Next Question,” three guests joined National Jeweler and Jewelers of America to discuss the ins and outs of selling pre-owned jewelry, whether it is vintage (at least 20 but less than 100 years old) or antique (over 100 years old).
They were: Cathy Calhoun, owner of Calhoun Jewelers; Lauren Levy, founder of Lauren DeYoung Jewelry, and The Jewelers Circle Chief Operating Officer Julie Thompson.
They discussed the importance of antique/estate jewelry education, what time periods are popular among customers, and navigating the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show (coming up May 30-June 2) as a first-time attendee.
Watch the full session above and tune in next month when “My Next Question” returns.
Carrie Volp, vice president of commercial lines operations at Jewelers Mutual, and Berkley Asset Protection Vice President Andrew Chipman will join National Jeweler’s Lenore Fedow and Jewelers of America’s Regina Ciarleglio to discuss insurance for jewelers.
