Vintage Gold and Silver Jewelry: Beauty, Value, and Why Trusted Treasured Coins Wants to Buy It
At Trusted Treasured Coins in Houston, we’ve built our reputation on appraising and buying gold, silver, U.S. and foreign coins—but our expertise doesn’t stop there. We also buy vintage gold and silver jewelry of all kinds.
Whether it’s an antique locket passed down through your family, a pair of sterling silver earrings from the 1960s, or even a broken gold bracelet that’s been sitting untouched in a drawer, your vintage pieces may be worth far more than you think.
What Counts as Vintage Jewelry?
Generally, jewelry is considered vintage if it’s at least 20–30 years old. That includes styles from the 1940s through the 1980s—like bold gold chains, Art Deco rings, mid-century brooches, and ornate silver bangles.
Even if it’s no longer in style or wearable, vintage jewelry can hold significant value due to its precious metal content, craftsmanship, and collectibility.
The Value in Gold and Silver Jewelry
Unlike costume jewelry, vintage gold and silver pieces are made with real precious metals. Here’s what we look for:
Gold Purity (marked 10K, 14K, 18K, etc.)
Sterling Silver (usually stamped “.925”)
Weight in Grams
Condition and Craftsmanship
Signed or Designer Pieces
Even damaged items can be valuable. We’re especially interested in:
Broken chains and single earrings
Outdated rings, pendants, and pins
Solid gold or sterling silver pieces you no longer wear
