How Gems, Metals and Motifs are Impressed in Jewelry

While historians can note time periods and categorizing sub-periods of time and how it changed.  Our associates are highly skilled and experienced to recognize the expressions of jewelry.  Jewelry pieces make a statement without words.  We hear what those precious gems and metals are saying.  Because the feeling of the times transcends into jewelry.

For instance, the “Romantic Period” has very notable characteristics in its jewelry. The metal work in jewelry and design took on an ornamental delicacy.  In addition, popular motifs included love knots, hands, hearts vines and leaves.  Gemstones were for the most part set in claw-like prongs, encircling the outer rim of the gem with metal.  This also was a time “Acrostic Jewelry” was made. In these pieces the gemstones were arranged so the first letter of each spelled out a loving word.

These are the kinds of things, an antique jewelry buyer knows!  And is why we are the premier pawn shop in Mesa when you want to sell antique jewelry for cash!

If any diamonds are set in the jewelry, they are analyzed with our diamond testing tool for color, cut, clarity and carat of the gem.  Although it is a part of the jewelry, its value is determined as a separate entity in the assessment, then added to together to make an offer.
