Vintage Jewellery

At Friar House most of our Vintage Jewellery pieces date from the 1940's with some carefully curated pieces from the '50s, '60's and '70s.  Some of the most popular stones in 1940's jewellery were topaz, citrine, rubies and sapphires. Often during this period over-sized brightly coloured stones cut in angular, rectangle and square shapes were extremely popular. These pieces were designed to inspire conversation with a feel of Hollywood glamour. Many of the decade’s leading ladies such as Katherine Hepburn and Eva Gardner sported over-sized rings in their films.

The Story of Vintage Jewellery

Vintage jewellery is a celebration of style, craftsmanship, and history. These treasured pieces carry stories from the past, blending timeless designs with exceptional artistry.

Vintage Jewellery collectors and enthusiasts value pieces not only for their beauty but also for their historical significance. Many vintage ring jewellery pieces feature intricate filigree, millegrain settings, and enamel work that showcase the craftsmanship of the era. Whether it’s a statement vintage ring or an elegant pendant, every piece offers a glimpse into a bygone age of glamour and design innovation.

Vintage jewellery also includes a variety of styles, each reflecting different cultural influences and design philosophies, making vintage jewellery a rich tapestry of artistic expression. Today, these pieces continue to inspire modern jewellery design and remain highly desirable for those seeking unique, meaningful adornments.
