The Hottest Estate Jewelry Styles Right Now/JUNE 12, 2023 |  PHYLLIS SCHILLER

“Birth year” Rolexes, “gifted to celebrate someone’s special birthday,” are among the hot sellers at vintage watch and jewelry dealer Aaron Faber Gallery in New York, says co-owner Patricia Faber. “Until recently, Rolex dated their production by serial numbers, so it is possible, for example, to find a Date just made in 1993 for a 30-year-old’s birthday gift.”

Long gold chains are especially in demand among boomer-generation clients, “who are not wearing chokers and want striking jewelry.” Many younger buyers are “interested now in watch collecting and estate jewelry in place of contemporary jewelry.”

Branded pieces like Cartier, David Webb and Tiffany & Co. are always solid sellers, she continues. Demand for colored-stone earrings and rings “has been surprisingly consistent and strong, with a preference for bright colors, especially peridot, tourmaline, aquamarine. Turquoise is very popular.” So are animal motifs: “Everybody loves animals, even when they are a brooch.”

Not surprisingly, all of those categories are getting harder to find. “We work almost exclusively with private clients to source these.”
