About Jean Mahie brand
Jean Mahie jewelry brand founded in 1969 by Jacline Nataf Mazard and her father-in-law Jean Marie Mazard. Their partnership is often called symbiotic. Jacline recalled the beginning of their artistic adventure as an unconventional way to get into the jewelry business.
Since then, Jean Mahie history has been a history of growth and recognition not only by devoted customers but also by such famous makers as Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier. Neiman Marcus began to sell Mahie pieces four decades ago as an exclusive retailer. Nowadays Jacline is still making her one of a kind fine jewelry.
In the modern world Jean Mahie 22k gold jewelry is famous for its bold design and architectural shapes.
About estate jewelry
Buying jewelry online can be challenging. The quality of the making has not got better over the time while the design is getting more and more generic. Add ever rising prices and you could end up with not finding anything suitable. To purchase a high-quality jewelry piece for an obtainable price consider buying estate items.
-
Quality vs Quantity
Estate pieces mostly belong to the era when jewels were handmade and not mass produced. There were simply less jewelry makers at that time and they cared about their reputation. Opposed to the current fast fashion approach, life pace was in general slower. That allowed makers to take more time to craft a truly quality piece.
-
Fair price vs Overpriced
Designer pieces aka signed pieces can cost multiple times more
than their unsigned equivalents. We pay not only for an item itself but also for the brand advertising campaigns and all the buzz the name is creating. Prices for estate jewelry form differently and mostly depend on the cost paid by a seller. A pre-owned Bulgari ring and a brand-new Bulgari piece have a significant price difference. Ask your local jewelry store about a retail price of the desired piece and you’d be pleasantly surprised.

True value vs Seasonal rush
Pre-owned jewelry retains its value as over the time it gets unique and sought-after. Think purchasing a new car that loses its value right after you left your dealer versus buying a vintage vehicle.
At Nadine Krakov Collection we love all the things beauty and high-quality. Each of our estate jewelry piece is in excellent condition. We preserve the history and the greatest styles of the past so our clients can enjoy it at the fullest.
