With over a decade in the industry we have the experience and knowledge when it comes to dating an item of jewellery. Each piece bears hints and clues which help us to determine it's age and the materials used and overall style of a piece also aids us in dating an item of jewellery, especially when hallmarks are not present which is often the case with vintage jewellery. The cut of the stones can often aid us in dating a piece as the evolution of cutting techniques has a distinctive timeline, for example with Diamonds, we know Old Cuts were cut by hand up to the beginning of the 20th century and these have distinctive faceting and bruting styles that help us to age them.
