| Jewelry tells a story. It captures the aesthetic
of the era in which it was created, reflecting the style, the
sensibility, and even the politics of the period. The major
design styles represent different eras from the mid-1800s through
the 1960s including Victorian, Art Nouveau, Edwardian, Art Deco,
Retro and Cocktail. Because of the nature of estate jewelry,
each piece is inherently different, offering its own history.
It is this quality that makes estate jewelry the ideal solution
for the woman who desires something different, who wants to define
her personal style with jewelry that suits her uniquely. Our ever-changing estate cases offer a selection of vintage jewels at very attractive prices. While the beauty of these treasures is immediately evident, it is important to recognize that the craftsmanship used to create them can rarely be replicated today, making them a tremendous value. Elleard Heffern has long been known as St. Louis’ foremost authority on estate jewelry. We purchase estate jewelry from individuals regularly. If you are interested in scheduling a complimentary consultation, please contact us by phone or email. Visit our Appraisal section of the website under "Services" for more information as well. We are always adding new pieces to our collection and frequently host estate shows with jewelry from across the U.S. and Europe. |
