Jewelry that reaches heirloom status is prized for so much more than its sparkle. It keeps family history alive, and helps later generations feel the love and lives of those who came before.
When purchasing jewelry with heirloom quality in mind, look for the following:
- Distinct and timeless style: Unique designs stand the test of time far more than trendy ones.
- Handcrafted pieces: A necklace, ring or other piece of jewelry that has been created by a skillful, talented hand is much more enduring — and alluring.
- Accreditation and awards: If a jeweler, like Coffin & Trout Fine Jewellers, has earned certain credentials, you’ll know they have the right advanced training to select, cut and place the highest rated diamonds and other gemstones.
- The best precious metals: Longevity of the final product is critical, and only highly trained, experienced jewelry designers have the skills to both source and successfully craft jewelry from the highest quality metals.
