A Closer Look

Jewellery Studies

For many years, we have not only handled antique jewellery, but also studied it, questioned it, and tried to understand it more clearly. One part of our renewed website now makes that long process more openly accessible.

With Jewellery Studies, we have begun to gather a series of chapters for those who wish to look more deeply into the world of jewellery. It explores not only materials, hallmarks, authenticity, gemstones, and style, but also the habits of thought, the myths, and the misleading claims that have shaped the way jewellery is too often presented.

One of the first things we would like to share with you there is the introduction to this new series.

You can begin here: Jewellery Studies: Introduction

We wish you much reading pleasure.

Antiqualy yours,


Elkan Wijnberg
