ESTATE JEWELRY Victorian to Vintage wearable art pieces

E-mail mansiongallery@charter.net for more details! Whether a necklace, ring, pin / broach, pair of earrings, or bracelet (or two!), find your wearable treasure - Victorian to vintage - with your favorite stone or pearl and diamonds, gold, platinum, and sterling silver. Vintage and antique jewelry are not just beautiful choices, but also "green" choices. Antique, vintage or pre-owned (usually referred to as "estate") jewelry pieces--or family heirlooms--are the most ecological choice, simply because no new materials were mined to make them. Diamonds rarely depreciate in value. Recycled metals reduce the need for destructive mining. According to the environmental nonprofit WorldWatch Institute, 80 percent of gold mined from the earth is used for jewelry. Also look for recycled silver, titanium and platinum and other recycled materials, like glass and leather, used in more casual pieces.
