Pre-owned & Unworn Necklaces

Consider the authenticity of the piece, its condition, chain length, clasp and fittings, links or cord, and stone settings where relevant. Materials, age, design and any accessories or documentation specifically stated with the piece should also be considered as part of the overall assessment.

Authentication should consider the jewellery as a whole rather than relying solely on a box, document, hallmark or other single detail. Jewel Collectors assesses signed pieces, materials, hallmarks and construction and provides an Authenticity Guarantee, while any accessories or documentation accompanying an individual piece are stated where applicable.

Necklace length affects where a piece sits when worn and can change the appearance of a pendant, motif necklace or collar. Where measurements are stated, compare them with a necklace you already wear or with the position at which you would like the piece to sit.

No. Original packaging, papers, certificates or other provenance should only be treated as accompanying a necklace where they are specifically stated for that individual piece. Each pre-owned or vintage necklace should therefore be considered on its own merits rather than assuming the same documentation is present with every item.
