Jewelry items that appear in this section, mainly due to their age, are being considered Vintage Jewelry. These particular items are constructed out of beads, gemstones and other material that may or may not be recognized or associated with today’s products. Due to their age and construction, some of these Estate Jewelry pieces, especially the bead and gemstone items, have had to be repaired or reconstructed, so that they not only will be wearable, but will as well conform more with modern jewelry designs and practices. Some of these pieces are combinations of several other older jewelry items, that by themselves, did not posses enough usable materials to allow for reconstruction or repair. Almost all of these pieces, original, reconstructed, repaired or combined, are one of a kind items, and because of their material and construction, cannot be duplicated. If the specific beads or gemstones are identifiable, the variety and type(s) will be noted with each item. If possible, the use of nickel in the jewelry mounting will be so noted for those with allergic reactions.
