About Estate Jewelry
When it comes to buying high-quality, unique pieces at a reasonable price, estate jewelry is hard to beat. Whether you're a fan of classic designs or something truly one-of-a-kind, estate jewelry offers a world of styles influenced by history and craftsmanship. Shopping for jewelry online can feel overwhelming. With today's designs becoming increasingly generic and prices soaring, finding something special can be a challenge. That's where estate jewelry comes in. By choosing estate pieces, you can own a high-quality item at a much more accessible price.
Quality Over Quantity
Estate jewelry hails from a time when pieces were lovingly handcrafted, not mass-produced. Back then, there were fewer jewelers, and they took great pride in their work, focusing on quality rather than speed. Unlike today's fast fashion, the slower pace of the past allowed for the creation of truly exceptional pieces.
Fair Prices, No Overpricing
Designer jewelry often comes with a hefty price tag, not just for the piece itself but for the brand name and its marketing. Estate jewelry, on the other hand, is priced differently — based more on what the seller paid for it. For instance, a pre-owned Bulgari ring might be significantly less expensive than a brand-new one. You might be pleasantly surprised if you compare prices at your local jewelry store!
Timeless Value
Pre-owned jewelry tends to retain its value and can even become more unique and desirable over time. Think of it like buying a vintage car that grows in value, as opposed to a new car that loses value the moment you drive it off the lot.
At the Nadine Krakov Collection, we have a passion for all things beautiful. Our estate jewelry is carefully selected and maintained in excellent condition, preserving the rich history and timeless styles of the past so that you can enjoy them to the fullest.

A striking 18k gold and gunmetal curb link chain necklace. The design alternates each gunmetal link with two yellow gold links, creating a dynamic color scheme reminiscent of spotted snake skin. This interplay of contrasting metals creates a unique and edgy aesthetic. The slightly enlarged curb links and the bold combination of gunmetal and gold make this piece particularly well-suited for styles inspired by rock-n-roll or biker culture. This eye-catching necklace merges toughness with luxury, adding a bit of attitude.
