The time is here for finding that perfect gift for someone special. Finding the ideal antique jewelry gift is a bit more challenging because most of these pieces are one of a kind. There’s no Amazon catalog in our mailbox to look at, and there’s no telling whether the jewelry we’re buying is authentic and worth it.
I’ve gathered some hot pieces on Etsy right now that I think would make the perfect gifts for antique jewelry lovers. There are a variety of jewelry eras and styles to make gift-giving that much easier.
I’ve also included one reproduction to this list just to get you familiar with how reproductions are marketed on Etsy. Many people might purchase that ring thinking it’s old when it’s not.
When you’re buying antique jewelry as a gift, be sure to consider the following:
- Do you know if this person likes old jewelry? In my experience working at the store, the people who came in with returns after the holidays usually did so because they didn’t like the idea of owning “someone else’s jewelry”. This happened most often with antique lockets that still have photos inside.
- Do you know their ring size? Antique rings can be difficult to size to the extreme, so having this information is vital if you plan on spending a lot on an antique ring.
- What’s the store’s return policy? Make sure you give yourself some wiggle room in case your loved one ends up needing or wanting to return the jewelry.
And without further ado, here are some of my favorites right now. Happy hunting!
