After the craftsmanship is judged by the style, it is necessary to follow the characteristics of the times according to the craftsmanship. Let's talk about the most common features of diamond jewelry in the 19th century for reference. 1 Diamonds are the back cover (that is, the back of the gemstone with metal). Based on the 1820s, most of the gems in the jewelery before, and later the jewelry craftsman realized that the back cover would greatly weaken the diamond fire color. By the time, the purpose is to facilitate the matte foil under the gemstone, so that the color of the whole piece of jewelry is uniform, which is caused by the scarce colored gemstone in the 19th century. 2 Diamond cutting. There are two common types of diamond cutting in antique jewelry in the 19th century: rose and old European style. In fact, the rose style alone can be divided into at least 3 categories according to the number of cut surfaces. At the same time, it also coexists with old ore, SLR, etc. We only talk about the most common. The rose cutting is characterized by arches and flat bottoms. The cut surfaces on the arch are all triangular, similar to the rose bloom, so it is named. The old European style is already very similar to the current bright style, but the countertop is small, the pavilion is deep, and the sharp bottom is large, so it feels like a hole in the front.
Speaking of jewelry. Jewelry covers a wide range, from Fine Jewellery of precious metals and gems, to various imitation valuables of Costume Jewellery, all of which belong to the category of jewelry. Costume Jewellery I have little contact, so I only combined with my experience in the experience of Europe's Fine Jewellery. Chinese antique ornaments have not been in their hands and dare not make it. The second is to clarify the scope of the "antique". According to the conventions of the European antique industry, the jewelry that time is more than or equal to 100 years can be called antique jewelry. This year is 2017, which is the label of "antiques" in 1917 and before. But this time is also elastic. For example, 1920-30s popular decorative art style (Art Deco) jewelry (Art Deco) jewelry, strictly speaking, can not be regarded as "antiques", but because this style is too popular and the time difference is not far away, it will also return to it. To the ranks of antique jewelry. If you go to antique shops, the more common antique jewelry is Victorian (1837-1901). The number of jewelery in the previous George era was small and the price was high. It was later Edward. Although it was only 10 years, it was impressive, but after all, the time was too short to explain the problem mentioned by the landlord well, so the focus of the discussion was still in the Victorian era. This clarifies the scope of research: European jewelry in the Victorian era
Do you want to enter the industry? I advise you not to do it, unless you picked it out of the tomb, the two people I knew, engaged in antiques, ancient buildings, one bought a pupae and was cheated. Of course, too much money does not matter.
Antique jewelry is not completely relying on the value of the value . It ’s like ancient jade. Some ancient jade is less than 100,000. Now many better new jade is more valuable than , plus the pair of antiques now, there are more fakes, and it is not one or two of the eyes, just like the one who said downstairs, why spend money to buy this lesson.
If you want to identify your own, then I can only say that different types of antique jewelry have different identification methods. Are you gold and silver or ancient jade? Anyway, let's put a photo, how much can you help you refer to it?
