What makes jewellery extraordinary?

When experts evaluate what can be considered extraordinary jewellery, they take a look at quite a few factors. One of the main factors they look at is the gemstone set into the piece. The cut, rarity and size of the gemstone can make a piece standout. For example, we look carefully at the diamonds set into our antique diamond rings. The metalwork features of the piece can also make a piece of jewellery extraordinary, as well as the scarcity.

What jewellery brand holds its value?

There are many jewellery brands whose pieces are incredibly unique and hold their value. We have many vintage pieces from iconic brands here at Berganza, for example Cartier and Tiffany & Co. These brands' unique production and look can make amazing antique extraordinary jewellery.

How to clean extraordinary jewellery?

With extraordinary jewellery, it’s important to keep it clean. Cleaning your antique pieces correctly is a great way to preserve them and keep their value. Rinse your piece carefully under warm water. Use a very soft brush to dislodge any dirt, and if it needs extra cleaning, use a mild washing-up liquid. Pieces of extraordinary jewellery may have intricate metalwork, so make sure you are adequately cleaning around them. Be careful around the special gemstones on your extraordinary rings. Make sure you rinse your jewellery. Here at Berganza, we offer complimentary annual cleaning for life with every purchase, so your jewellery can be taken care of.
