Vintage jewelry is one of the most authentic and moving expressions of global jewelry heritage, and Mikaelian in Antibes offers a selection of pre-owned vintage pieces that bear witness to the timeless beauty of creations made between the 1920s and the 1980s, a period particularly rich in aesthetic and technical innovations in the field of jewelry. In jewelry, the term "vintage" refers to pieces dating back twenty to one hundred years, a period that encompasses styles as varied and fascinating as Art Deco, Mid-century, Retro, and the Space Age style of the 1960s, each bearing the mark of its era and its major aesthetic trends. Our vintage jewelry collection includes rings, bracelets, earrings, brooches, and necklaces from these different eras, with a predilection for pieces that most brilliantly illustrate the dominant trends of their time. Each vintage jewel presented at Mikaelian is carefully dated and authenticated by our experts, who use their in-depth knowledge of manufacturing techniques, alloys, and fashionable styles to precisely place each piece in its historical context. Vintage jewelry is enjoying growing success among a clientele increasingly concerned with the history and uniqueness of the objects they acquire, and Mikaelian positions itself as a benchmark player in this market on the French Riviera, with a particularly rich and varied selection. Acquiring a vintage jewel from Mikaelian means treating yourself to a piece of jewelry history, a unique item whose character and beauty immediately stand out in an era where mass production tends to standardize jewelry.
