A new report has launched on the benefits of investing in vintage jewellery, as studies show that the price of some items has risen by over 80% over the last decade. This makes vintage jewellery a sound investment, even against some traditionally strong contenders like gold, which has become somewhat volatile recently.

The site explains that the Mail on Sunday recently ran an article showcasing how investing in vintage jewellery can be a highly positive prospect, especially when compared to other prospects when people want to invest in something that will be a safe bet or beneficial to them.
The price rise of 80% is a large jump that can rarely be matched in any field, with Art Deco items continuing to rise the fastest at present, featuring bold forms coming from France in the early part of the 20th century. Many of these designs in particular are so popular that there has been a sharp rise in price over the last five years.
Another area that is increasingly popular is the , which includes items from the 1800s, and was known as the “beautiful era”, covering the period from 1871 to the First World War. Some of these statement pieces come from a time when platinum and gold with diamonds were mounted in lace-like settings, giving the appearance of weightlessness.
In addition to this, the “Hollywood Glamour” period is popular, which ranges from the 1930s to the 1950s, and includes large cocktail rings or sculptural jewellery.
Some of these more popular eras and styles are considered safe bets because demand for them is steady and high. Meanwhile, items from collections that have belonged to famous names, like Elizabeth Taylor, are considered evergreen.
People interested in these items in particular are advised to keep an eye on the big auction houses, where they sometimes spring up, and can be bought as items to look after, wear, or sell on for an increase in price at a later date.
