Vintage Jewellery
As a brand, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to be more sustainable. In 2020, we launched our first Vintage KIND Collection, which features a curated selection of pieces that have been sourced from across the UK.
We recently launched our third Vintage Collection – which is our largest and most inclusive collection yet. To celebrate the launch of our new vintage range, we have spotlighted 5 reasons why buying vintage jewellery is a great choice!
A sustainable choice
Buying vintage is the most sustainable option, as the precious metals and gemstones are already in circulation. When you shop vintage and reuse the precious metals and gemstones, you reduce the environmentally damaging effects of mining practices. The reduced labour impact means less energy usage too. Buying a piece of vintage jewellery that has been in circulation for many years is environmentally sustainable and is not adding to the ever growing carbon footprint.
A connection to history
There is something very romantic about jewellery from another era, with a story to tell. With a piece of vintage, you become part of the next chapter of the jewellery’s sparkling history. Vintage pieces have soul, as they previously belonged to someone else, and they have history and a story to tell, about both our culture and the person who wore it.
Unique designs
Vintage jewellery pieces are truly unique. They are often beautiful heirloom pieces that were previously made with purpose and care. From the style of the piece to the cut of the gemstone, there is a certain charm about vintage jewellery that isn’t always available in modern pieces. In the past, gemstones were cut by hand – giving them a completely unique look. Additionally, as vintage jewellery hasn’t been made recently, it is highly unlikely that you will ever find a duplicate of your piece. Identical matches were more or less impossible to find.
Well made and long lasting
If a piece of vintage jewellery has made it intact and in good condition to this day, chances are it’s extremely well made and – with proper care – will last a lifetime to come. Today, most modern jewellery is cast, however in the past, vintage jewellery was almost always handmade, right down to the final touches.
Timeless designs
Trends come and go, but timeless pieces can be loved for eternity. Whilst modern trends often reference historical designs, a true vintage piece will always have a different look and feel to its modern counterparts. A classic piece from any era can stand the test of time, and is a great investment as it will continue to hold its value for decades to come.
