Dating Antique, Vintage and Collectible Jewelry

Dating Antique, Vintage and Collectible Jewelry takes some detective work. You can usually date the piece of jewelry by the signature. I use these two different websites to identify and date a designer’s signature. They are http://www.morninggloryjewelry.com/jc/JewelChatMarks.html and http://www.illusionjewels.com/costumejewelrymarks.html

There are also some great Jewelry Reference Books available for your use. I use Collecting Costume Jewelry 101, the basics of starting, building, and upgrading, Identification and Value Guide by Julia C. Carroll and Collectible Silver Jewelry Identification and Value Guide by Fred Rezazadeh. If you don’t want to purchase these Collectible Books you can always go to your public library and see if they are available. I hope this helps.
