Vintage vs. Antique Jewelry

Both vintage and antique jewelry capture the spirit of their times, reflecting artistry, fashion, and cultural influences from the past. Antique jewelry refers to pieces that are at least 100 years old, while vintage jewelry describes pieces that are between 20 and 99 years old (think Retro and Mid-Century jewelry). At Lang, we celebrate both, curating antique and vintage jewelry that showcase extraordinary craftsmanship, enduring beauty, and timeless distinction. From Edwardian elegance to bold Mid-Century creations, each piece tells a story worth wearing.

Antique Jewelry Eras

Antique jewelry holds a special distinction, reserved for pieces crafted at least a century ago. These designs embody artistry from the great eras of jewelry making, each with its own hallmarks of style and craftsmanship. At Lang, our antique jewelry collection includes treasures from these eras:

  • Georgian (1714–1837): Hand-crafted, romantic designs with intricate metalwork
  • Victorian (1837–1901): Symbolic motifs, sentimental styles, and natural inspiration
  • Art Nouveau (1890–1910): Flowing lines, enamel artistry, and nature-inspired themes
  • Edwardian (1901–1915): Delicate platinum designs, lace-like details, and elegance
  • Art Deco (1920s–1930s): Bold geometry, diamonds, and striking colored gemstones
