Why You Should Consider Buying Estate Jewelry

Are you searching for a time-tested, sustainable, and unique way to accessorize with Fine Jewelry? Look no further than estate jewelry. At Victoria Ashley Fine Jewelry in Vero Beach, Florida, we offer a curated collection of estate jewelry, each piece telling its own unique story. Let's delve into the world of estate jewelry and explore why it's a choice that's both beautiful and environmentally conscious.

Ecological Benefits of Locally Sourced Estate Jewelry:

Reducing Environmental Impacts By Choosing Estate Jewelry

Mining for new metals and gemstones can have significant environmental consequences. By opting for estate jewelry, you're reducing the demand for new mining, thus lessening the environmental burden. We acknowledge the importance of the mining industry while also promoting the benefits of sustainability in jewelry choices. In fact, our emphasis on carbon sequestration will offset the footprint of every piece of jewelry you buy from us. However, reduction through reuse and recycling is always our favorite way to help the environment.

Most vintage and estate jewelry is purchased from the public

Supporting Local Sustainability at Home and Abroad

When you purchase locally sourced estate jewelry, you're supporting your neighbors and the local businesses that sell it. By avoiding long-distance shipping and other associated activities, you contribute to a greener planet.

On top of these locally sourced pieces, we love to travel to find amazing pieces around the World. This supports local businesses in the areas we visit, but it does come with a sizable carbon footprint. Fortunately, our family travels carbon-neutral and plants trees to offset all of our travel. You can rest assured that your new treasure was sustainably purchased and supported the local economies of these beautiful destinations.

Economical Cost Savings of Estate Jewelry:

Though there are some pieces that, like art, can demand a higher value because of their rarity & high demand, many estate jewelry pieces are priced very reasonably when compared to the price of sourcing new materials and labor for the same item because they are pre-owned. However, pieces that are gently “loved” can be restored for many more years of wear & enjoyment. Many people search for estate jewelry pieces that help to tell their own story through their personal collection of beautiful jewelry.
