For centuries, jewelry has been the signature of great power and wealth. King Tut wore lavish crown jewels, necklaces and rings. Marie Antoinette sewed jewels into the bodices of her garments.

Jewelry has always helped define an era. The techniques and materials used in manufacturing jewelry during a particular period of time reflects that era’s market influences and world events.

Today, estate jewelry - jewelry that has been previously owned – is more popular than ever with collectors as well as consumers looking for original, high-quality designer pieces. What’s hot? Brooches – the bigger and flashier, the better – platinum and white metal, cocktail rings and watches.

“Watches from yesteryear are in high demand today because of their rarity and uniqueness,” said Tom Kowal, director of retail operations at Ross-Simons Jewelers. “Many customers seek out styles no longer in production from the famous-name watch manufacturers of today in order to stand out from the crowd.”

Ross-Simons says clients prefer estate jewelry for its versatility and excellent value. It is less expensive to buy estate jewelry than to have the same piece of equal quality recreated today. Plus, since many estate pieces are handmade and much heavier in weight, the workmanship often is superior. Finally, much of the jewelry found in an estate collection is one-of-a-kind, so wearers can be confident that their jewelry is unique.

I do not normally have boring Christmases but this year was definitely one of those. I was staying with family, as usual and did not expect it to be that dull. My family are normally interesting and fun but I did not count on a distant cousin who works in electromagnetic shielding to be there. I made a huge mistake, which I think my family have still not forgiven me for I asked him what he did for his job. I got a complete summary of the things that his company made all the details about thin film deposition and the advanced technology that they used for it and what his role specifically was in the business.

He then went on to explain all about a pioneering discovery he had made with regards to a thin film coating. He must have talked on about it for the whole day and every time someone tried to change the subject he managed to bring it back round to him again because he had not finished explaining it all to me. I know that next year it will be either him or me that will not be invited to the family Christmas celebrations, I guess I will have to work hard at apologising this year and hope that I will be forgiven.

Once you have found the diamond ring or gold ring you feel most appeals to you, you will need to make sure that you are buying the correct size. It is better to get the size right when you buy jewellery you want to offer to someone. Different countries use different ring sizes but if you buy your diamond ring on a UK based website or at a jewellery shop in the United Kingdom, it will be UK ring sizing. Whereas UK ring size will usually be letters, European or American size will be numbers. It is good to know that UK Ring Sizes use British Standard (BS6820 or IS8653) which uses alphabetic letters for each 1.25mm of ring circumference with half sizes in between. Whether you buy online or in a shop, rings will be available from size J to size Q in whole sizes only. If you want to find out what your ring size is, or what your partner’s ring size is, we recommend two courses of action. The first one is with a ring sizer that show a circles of different sizes on a piece of paper. The second one is called a ring belt. You will easily find the ring size with either of those practical tools.

If your ring size is not between size J and size Q, a jewellery shop can often order the ring specially, sized especially for you, usually at a charged cost. This may take a little longer, around three to four weeks, as it will be made and delivered from their factory or another one of their shop. If however you need the ring urgently they will be able to have one of their standard rings re-sized for you. This would take approximately one to two weeks and there would be a re-sizing charge.
