Estate jewelry refers to any second-hand or pre-owned jewelry. Antique jewelry, on the other hand, usually refers to any jewelry that is at least 70 years old. This jewelry might also be described as “vintage,” although many estate jewelers reserve the term “vintage” to describe jewelry that was manufactured from 1920 thru the 1930s.
