JEWELERS VS. ANTIQUE STORE

Jeweler vs. Antique Store

Looking for places to find impressive pieces of jewelry may lead you to different types of businesses. There are a few similarities between a jewelry store and an antique store, but many fundamental differences when shopping and visiting either of these establishments. Our team at BENARI JEWELERS put together this guide to inform you about jewelers and antique stores so that you can make the best decision when shopping for beautiful jewelry that will last generations and remain gorgeous all the while. 

What is an Antique Store?

Antique stores are specialized stores that sell valuable older items such as jewelry, frames, silverware, and furniture. The item’s value depends on its age, rarity, condition, and demand. Some stores are owned by more knowledgeable people than others, so prices vary. Antique stores buy from private collectors and estate sales to gain the majority of their stock. Many pieces on display are the only ones in the inventory or are genuinely one-of-a-kind items you’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. Shopping in an antique store requires a love for the hunt as you may not always find a piece that will go home with you.

Why are Jewelers Important?

Most jewelers have spent their careers learning the latest information regarding aspects of jewelry in order to better assist their customers. Many jewelers continue their education to keep their knowledge current while also paying attention to the latest fashions. This information is great for the person looking for a gift who has no idea where to start, to the collector who may learn something new about a piece of jewelry they are about to purchase. Knowing that there will be a trained jeweler who can answer questions as you shop will be a comfort when searching for a precious item. 

Why Shop for Jewelry at a Jewelry Store?

When you are looking to purchase a piece of jewelry, then you will want to explore all of your possible options. Although there are many gorgeous jewelry items in antique stores, they lack the contemporary edge of modern jewelry designers that are showcased in jewelry stores. More recent products cannot be added to antique stores in the same manner as they can in a jewelry store. New collections are constantly being made, and inventory can be ordered if it is not currently in the store.
