Iconic Emblems The historical value of estate and pre-owned jewelry is also evident when it comes to signed and designer styles — many pieces that are often retired, becoming unavailable over time. Branded signatures act as seals of craftsmanship and authenticity, amplifying the value of each piece. This fact only adds to the enthralling heritage of each embellishment. Julie explains, “Many of these signed pieces hold their value over time — even as they are passed down through generations.” Over the last year, the acquisition of signed jewelry has been a top priority for our estate team at Long’s. Spend time browsing our collection, and you’ll discover an endless pipeline of signed pre-owned pieces from the likes of Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef & Arpels, Bulgari, Boucheron, and many others. “Our highly trained staff can help you build a collection of these iconic and bold statement pieces,” Julie adds. “We are quite literally adding new pieces to our collection every day.” Beyond its sentimental value, signed estate jewelry champions the cause of sustainability. “Adding pre-owned pieces to your jewelry wardrobe reduces the environmental impact of the mining and extraction processes necessary to create new jewelry,” Julie explains. “By choosing estate jewelry, you ensure that beautiful creations from the past continue to be appreciated and enjoyed for generations to come.”
