Tips to Identify Antique Jewelry

There are certain indicators you can look for to help you identify a piece of antique jewelry, allowing you to get started on your research of the piece's history.
  1. Purchase a 10-power magnification jeweler's loupe. Jewelers suggests a triplet loupe (with three lenses) for the best clarity. Place your elbows on a firm surface to keep your hands steady while examining your jewelry. Turn the jewelry, not the loupe, as you examine the piece. Use your jeweler's loupe to look for signs of repairs by finding places where seams or replacement metals are visible.
  2. Use your loupe to look for any marks on the jewelry. Find books that identify hallmarks at the library or bookstore and research the markings on jewelry you want to identify.
  3. Try to find pictures or descriptions of the piece in the historical record by searching insurance files. Search for owners or close relatives of each individual who owned the piece for verification of its authenticity. Look for changes in stones and components; this can affect the value and authenticity of the piece.
  4. Become an expert in jewelry from your chosen time period. Develop an understanding of common styles and prevalent designers for the period. This knowledge will help you recognize jeweler's marks as well as what to look for in identifying replicas. Create a notebook with pictures of hallmarks and period pieces to carry with you for quick reference at estate auctions and antique jewelry stores.

Different metals came into use at different times, which helps determine the date of your jewelry.
The very strong metal platinum, for example, appeared in the late 1800s but was banned from jewelry use during World War II. This information will rule out the Georgian, early Victorian and Retro periods. Your jewelry may have markings of the materials used such as "Plat." for platinum or "Ster." for sterling silver.


Measure the length of your necklaces or earrings. Following the clothing styles of the times, nineteenth century necklaces tended to be short to set off a low neckline. Early twentieth century necklaces and earrings tended to be longer, especially during the "flapper" period of the 1920s.


Look at motifs or depictions of scenes on your item. Nature and sentimental motifs of flowers, hearts and animals were popular during Queen Victoria's reign (1837 to 1901) while Cubism-inspired geometric shapes were popular during the Art Deco period (1920 to 1935).


Determine what stones are used in your jewelry. Early pieces from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries used classic cuts of diamonds, garnet and amethyst. Later pieces from the early-to-mid-twentieth century added a range of semi-precious stones such as opals, pearls and rubies, both natural and synthetic.

The Ethnic Use of Silver Jewelry in Yemen

Ethnic Jewellery , Silver Jewellery , arabic jewelry

The ambar beads were mostly used by Sanaani Muslim women, but in rural areas was also worn by Jewish girls.
Rural areas presented less differences than big cities like Sana'a. The fact that the costume for Jewish and for Muslim women was different, shows another reason for the different jewels worn. Muslim women used to wear headscarves, and Jewish women wore a complement called gargush, that looks like a hood. The jewellery needed by Muslim women was mostly to keep the scarves together.The Jewish jewels were pieces to add to the hood, like filigree gold, silver brooches,coins like the Maria Theresia Thaler, and several dangling beads. The dugags of spheric beads where normally used by Muslim women daily, but Jewish women used to wear them specially on the wedding day. Jewish children also use to wear spheric dugags for extra protection. Jewish silversmiths used to have Muslim and Jewish customers, they also used to work for the royal Muslims, working specially with gold instead of the usual silver. These jewelers also worked doing decoration for the daggers worn by Muslims but not by the Jewish men. The fine techniques used in the creation of Yemeni jewellery was passed generation after generation as family secrets. Nowadays there are some newly Jewish style jewels, but the original antique ones show the finest techniques, like the Bedihi granulation and the finest examples of Bawsani filigree.
