About the Tiffany Key Collection
Tiffany & Co. introduced the Key Collection in 2009. The collection features beautifully crafted key pendants that quickly gathered popularity as a symbol of sophistication and personal meaning. Since its introduction, the Tiffany Key Collection has expanded to include a wide variety of designs: from delicate, minimalist keys to more ornate pieces.
The Tiffany Key Collection was inspired by vintage keys that opened doors to private estates, jewelry boxes, and treasure chests. Each key design draws on the brand’s rich heritage, combining elements from different eras and styles. These keys are crafted from platinum, gold, and sterling silver, often adorned with diamonds.
The keys hold symbolic significance and are often seen as metaphors for unlocking potential, opening new doors, and embarking on new journeys.

Tiffany asserts that its standards surpass those of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). When dealing with stones close to certain parameters, Tiffany’s experts may adjust the grade to precisely match its description.
About Estate Jewelry
Purchasing estate jewelry is an excellent way to buy high-end quality pieces at a fair price. Those who appreciate classic or one-of-a-kind pieces prefer purchasing estate jewelry for a wide range of styles and historical influences.
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 the 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 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 the Nadine Krakov Collection we are in love with all things beautiful. Each of our estate jewelry pieces is in excellent condition. We preserve the history and the greatest styles of the past so our clients can enjoy it at the fullest.
