Explore the Eras
Victorian (1837-1901)
Victorian estate jewelry earns its antique status for being over a century old, hailing from the reign of Queen Victirua (1837-1901). Renowned for its intricate craftmanship, the era exudes regal sophistication. Yellow gold accents exquisite gemstones were favored materials, adding to the luxurious of these pieces.
A diverse period in jewelry history! Yellow gold was the metal of choice. The 49'ER "Gold Rush" brought with it a gold fever. Silver laid over gold was occasionally used for the setting of diamonds.
Black was "in" as Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, dies in 1861 and the whole country mourned for 60 years alongside their beloved Queen.
Black enamel and jet jewelry were the fashion statements of the day. Pearls were the fashion representing tears for the departed.
Art Nouveau (1890-1910)
Explore our collection of Art Nouvevau jewelry, featuring flowing lines and nature-inspired designs that capture the elegance and innovation of this iconic era. From stunning vrooches to delicate pendants, each piece is a unique and timeless masterpiece.
Art Nouveau evokes images of sensuousness, the Gaiety of Paris, Toulouse Lautrec and silent film star Sarah Bernhardt who had an impressive collection of Art Nouveau jewelry, particularly in enamel by the Art Nouveau master, Rene Lalique.
Black was "in" as Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, dies in 1861 and the whole country mourned for 60 years alongside their beloved Queen.
Trees, flowers of all species, dragonflies, swans, peacocks and snakes were some of the many forms reinterpreted and exaggerated.
Belle Époque (1871-1914)
The Belle Époque era was a time of unmatched elegance and artistic expression in jewelry design, characterized by intricate craftsmanship, the use of high-quality gemstones, and influences from the broader cultural and artistic movements of the time.
The Gay Nineties produced another distinct style, Belle Époque. Belle Époque was opulent, full-blown, almost garish.
The big diamond jewels worn by Lillian Russell characterize the feeling.
It was a far cry from both the Victorian mourning jewelry that preceded and the tailored, lace like looks of Edwardian that was to come.
Edwardian (1901-1915)
Investing in a Piece of History. Owing an Edwardian jewelry piece is more than just wearing a bwautiful accessory; it’s holding a tangible piece of history. Each delicate detail whispers stories of a bygone era, of romance, elegance, and a love dor the finer things in life.
King Edward VII and his elegant wife Queen Alexandra led English society to new taste levels so sophistication and elegance became the definitive style of this period.
Edwardian jewels reflected gracious delicacy with ribbons, bows, swags and tassels, decorated décolletè dresses of lace, embroidery and fringe of pale hues.
Toward the end of the 19th century, diamonds were found in quantity in South Africa and Kimberly.
Art Deco (1920-1935)
Art Deco Jewelry depics the modern age. Designs are streamlined geometric, symmetric, and highly stylized. Diamonds were very popular during this time and were often used with rubies, sapphires and emeralds.
A period of seduction! The Age of "Speed" and "Speakeasy's". Social and political elements blended together to create an air of restlessness and recklessness.
Women bobbed their hair, wore dresses up to their knees and did not wear corsets! In the Roaring "20's" dancing was much more free and women wore long gold necklaces, which swung with their every movement.
Long multiple strands of pearls were also a must for the new flapper dress. The glamour of "Hollywood" was very much in vogue.
Retro (1935-1950)
The Golden Age of Hollywood brought big, bold glamour to the jewelry scene. Retro jewelry features multi-colored golds in yellow, rose, and green which make appearances together for just the right amount of drama. Each piece is ready for its clode-up!.
Retro, as the name implies, was a distinct throwback away from the rigid geometry of Art Deco.
The sleek, symmetrical lines of Art Deco gave way to more fluid, sculptural asymmetrical forms. Also, where Deco used platinum and white gold, Retro used pink or rose gold.
The almost dominant use of pink gold was caused by a wartime shortage of alloy to make conventional gold colors.
The Opulent 1950s (1950-1960)
The Opulent 1950s era was defined by a return to glamorous and feminine jewelry designs, characterized by bold and elegant pieces with high-quality craftsmanship and prominent use of diamonds, pearls, and colored gemstones.
After World War II, the United States dominated the world and the jewelry world as well. Big was good and bigger was better! The jeweler who personified the look was Harry Winston.
He, almost single handedly pushed the popularity of more and bigger diamonds to the world.
Jewelry literally dripping with diamonds and other precious stones came into vogue. 1950's designs became more gem encrusted and opulent.
Late 20th Century (1960-2000)
The late 20th century was characterized by a diverse range of jewelry styles, marked by innovation, experimentation with new materials, and the rise of contemporary and avant-garde designs. This era embraced bold, statement pieces that reflected personal expression and cultural trends.
Fashion was truly international in the period dating from the 1960’s through 1980’s. The United States continued to dominate fashion but jewelry was made throughout the world.
While America might not have been the innovator, if a look did not succeed here, it did not last. Yellow gold and mixed metals that could be worn both evening and day reigned supreme.
Casual was important at every level of society. In the 1990’s, platinum and white gold made a comeback.

Testimonials

We were extremely pleased with our first ever Singer Event. Special thanks to John who was a huge asset on Saturday from tips as to how to sell the pieces, to his vast knowledge of the history of the pieces themselves and who's charm and humor made it a very easy delightful day rather than a nerve wracking one.

Burnell's recently had a show with the Singer Collection and we highly recommend it. The merchandise was widely varied as far as styles era pricing and the amount of jewelry was very impressive. Our staff and clientele had a great time and we want to have a show with them again next year. John, the representative, was professional, helpful, and delightful to work with. He was organized and made it quite easy to get the jewelry set up for display. Usually, October is a slower month for us, but with Singer's presence, it allowed us to have a great month!

"Amazing experience! After several years of consideration, we finally made the decision to partner with Singer Estate Collection to host an event in our store. We are very happy with the results! From initial contact with Rebecca Lantz during the IJO show, to working with John Head as our consultant, the entire process was well managed. The communication and support we received went beyond our expectations. John was very helpful in making sure we had the promotional materials in time for our event. The complimentary postcards, posters, and digital art are a huge benefit to working with this company. We utilize these as well as the video to create interest and awareness. The actual day of the event went very smoothly, and we were pleased with the volume we sold. One factor we did not plan for was the residual sales,,we have made a few more sales following the event. Yay! Our Staff is still talking about the extensive collection, and we look forward to working with Singer Estate Collection again. It was a real pleasure doing business with them."

"We hadn't done a show in several years and really wanted to make it a success! I had my staff make 1000 phone calls and other then that spent very little on advertising. Saw old customers and it brought in a few new customers! Really liked the selection of goods, looking forward to our next show next year! Jeff Kohl's from , Galesburg, IL

"This was our second event with Singer. The merchandise assortment was fantastic and we were all impressed with the selection and price points. There was truly, something for everyone... The representative, Rebecca, was a true professional. She allowed us the freedom to work with our customers without smothering us, but was there when we needed her. We can't wait to schedule our next event. Thank you again for all you do……."

Customers kept telling us what an incredible selection of jewelry Singer Estate Company had brought to our store. Ran a small ad. Send postcards to only our top 500 customers, but the large ones! Called our top 500 customers. We will do it again, in 6 months. Totally our best start to February ever."

"We did $50,000 at our show... Rebecca is always a pleasure to have in my store. She is very professional with my customers. The regulars know her by name and ask "When is Rebecca coming" instead of when the estate jewelry event is coming... If you haven't done one of the Singer events, give it a try."

"With our economy slow and slipping further, we've been looking for things we can do to jumpstart traffic and sales, so it was easy to figure on scheduling a Singer Estate Trunk Show. We had a great turnout and alot of sales, not only of their goods but even more of our own. I post this not to brag, but to encourage others who maybe haven't done these shows before or maybe for sometime... It is amazing to me how people just come out of the woodwork for these things. These shows are such a quality non discounting promotion.....We are so lucky, we have several great companies in IJO that do these shows"

"If you have never tried a Stephen Singer event, you really need to consider it. I never thought I would do this well in my little town (population 8,000) but it has proven to be profitable and an image booster."

"We just had our first Singer event, we sold almost $18000. and had many no shows that we were counting on. Rebecca did a great job and we have one more possible sale pending. It was relatively easy compared to some promotions and got us some extra cash flow. Some really unusual items and varied price ranges. It's worth trying and they say it get better as more people hear about it."

This event has been very good as an annual fixture, but this year was one of our best. We have been doing the Singer Event for about 15 years and have a group of clients who look forward to it.
