RAPAPORT… Estate jewelry is the focus of the December 2021 issue of Rapaport Magazine, which provides a range of articles delving into pre-owned adornments and watches.
The publication looks at the hottest trends in antique jewelry as well as the sector’s supply-and-demand dynamics. It examines how to authenticate goods, explores the buzz in the secondhand timepiece market, and offers tips from successful dealers.
“Ask established estate dealers, and they will all tell you there are more lucrative ways to make a living than trading vintage jewelry,” writes Editor in Chief Sonia Esther Soltani. “But they do love the jewels they carefully source and pass on to their clients. They keep going because of the stories behind the pieces, the rarity of a specific design, the magical appeal of a stone.”
The final issue of the year also includes Martin Rapaport’s interview with Christie’s auction legend François Curiel, an in-depth look at the influence of clothing trends on jewelry, and a summary of diamond news from the past month.
