Silver has been an important commodity in society for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. As a result, antique and vintage silver jewellery continues to circulate and carry with it a profound history.
Antique and vintage silver jewellery has been worn by royalty and the nobility for thousands of years, alongside gold and precious gemstones. It was around the 13th century that standardised sterling silver was introduced, as King Edward I created a statute requiring all silver to have a purity of at least 92.5%.
Ancient, antique and vintage silver jewellery feature inscriptions and motifs, including hunting, chariots and animals, with each piece symbolising an important part of society during that era. Before platinum was introduced to jewellery in 1901, silver jewellery, along with gold, dominated.
Our collection of vintage silver jewellery features extremely rare pieces that have been treasured for hundreds or thousands of years. Explore our collection of Gold Jewellery for even more historical pieces.
