Things to keep in mind while acquiring vintage jewellery

From choosing jewellery a well-informed source to checking the certification and time period, these tips go a long way in adding a prized possession to your collection.

The jewellery auction market in India is maturing, and all the credit goes to the enthusiasts, who are following the happenings at auctions and are also bettering their knowledge about the domain. Therefore, my first advice would be to acquire vintage jewellery from an auction.

Choose a genuine and well-informed source. An auction house acquisition proves to be exciting as well as completely transparent, and the presented lots’ legitimacy is seconded by the auction house, since they undertake research and adhere to due diligence protocols.

Jewellery consigned at auctions is appraised and carefully selected by experts and one knows that the jewellery is genuine.

Certification of stones

Another important aspect that one should follow up about is the certification of the stones they intend to acquire. Certification not only cements the value proposition of coloured stones such as rubies, emeralds and blue sapphires; but also sheds light about the weight, that is the carat value of the stones, as well as information regarding the place of origin and its clarity efficacy. Therefore, I advise to consider certification as an important parameter.

Time period of the jewellery

Vintage Indian Jewellery & Art Deco Jewellery from the 1920s to 1930s should definitely be part of one’s collection. It would be an understatement to merely quote that vintage jewellery has a charm that no modern or new jewellery contains; because in all actuality, apart from the visual appeal, factors such as the designs, the manufacturing techniques, as well as the execution cannot be exercised in the present. Art Deco period jewellery can be identified by its geometric and symmetric flow of design. In my opinion the period was indeed one of the most important movements from our recent past.

Marked jewellery

Vintage jewellery which bear a signature of the maker always do very well in auctions, and in particular Art Deco signed pieces have fared very well. Creations by European masons, as well as famed jewellers have also garnered attention at our auctions. As a matter of fact, in our upcoming auction slated to take place in the month of April, there will feature signed pieces by Piaget, Tiffany, Collingwood Jewellers Ltd., London, Chimanlal Manchand & Co., Gazdar Jewellers and Narotamdas Bhau.

Provenance

The provenance most definitely adds value to the lot. Collectors love to gain insight about the original owner of the jewellery and about the history associated with it. It’s like time travelling to another era and adds a charm to the acquisition.

What are the challenges you face in a market that is inclined more towards gold?

Coming from a time where consumers had no idea or knowledge about platinum, I believe we have come a long way. Back when PGI was launched in India, there were only two metals that existed for jewellery – gold and silver. Gold was set as the benchmark of preciousness. In fact, in the early days, consumers hadn’t even seen platinum jewellery. Platinum was not a part of our stories, history or mythology. We did not even have a vocabulary for platinum in our local languages, unlike gold, silver, or other precious stones. From there, to now having our core consumers identifying with platinum and for platinum to be synonymous with love and moments of emotional significance is personally very gratifying. From an industry perspective, the partnerships we have, have led to platinum becoming an integral and strategic part of this ecosystem. Today, platinum is present as a category across 1500+ stores and 300+ cities, with growth up to 10 times in the last decade. It feels truly rewarding to look back on these milestones. In the current context, the favourable pricing of platinum provides an incredible opportunity for the growth of platinum jewellery.

How has the platinum jewellery bounced back during the pandemic as we begin to move towards recovery?

Looking back at 2020, the market started opening up in stages, particularly after September. While the Covid-19 situation had impacted buying patterns of consumers all over the world, the unlock phases were instrumental in ushering demand for jewellery, particularly for platinum. From July 2020 onwards, we had seen demand slowly rebuilding especially from tier II cities and smaller towns, which were less affected by the pandemic. In October 2020, we launched a consumer and retail activation programme to bolster demand for platinum jewellery. The results have been very positive with all participating retailers posting a 29% growth during the activity period versus the same period in 2019. From a consumer behaviour point of view, individuals were looking at ways to claim back a sense of normalcy and a means to celebrate those everyday moments that became all the more important given the gloom that had accompanied those dreaded initial months of the lockdown. Jewellery served as an instant pick-up and platinum, in particular, stood out as the metal is all about love, meaning and reaffirmation. In India, jewellery plays an integral role where it tends to have a store of value and serves as a marker of social and personal milestones in life. With many consumers re-evaluating their priorities in life and gaining a renewed appreciation for loved ones, spending on products that represent personal meaning is a key expression of their feelings for family and friends, thus creating an opportunity for platinum. In the recent Union Budget, it was heartening to see that the import duty on platinum has been reduced to 10%, which is a welcome decision made by the Government. This will boost consumer sentiment and, in turn, demand, benefiting both the industry and the consumers as the market recovers in 2021. We look forward to a year of a strong recovery.
