When Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton, he didn’t slip a brand-new ring onto her finger. Instead, he proposed with the 12-carat sapphire engagement ring that had belonged to his mother: Diana, Princess of Wales.

You can be sure that Kate was far more excited to receive that ring than she would have been had William slipped a new ring onto her finger. No new ring could match it for the romance and sentiment behind it.

If you’re looking to purchase some jewellery, there are many reasons why a second-hand piece of luxury jewellery can be far more exciting than buying something new.

Read on as we take a look at just some of the magical reasons why it’s more exciting to buy pre-owned jewellery in Australia.


1. It Has a History
 

If you’re buying pre-owned jewellery, you’re buying something with a history. A beautiful piece of pre-owned diamond jewellery, for example, might once have been given as a gift to a lover or even have been passed down from generation to generation. 

That piece will have touched the lives of other people and brought joy and happiness to them and you. When you wear a piece of pre-owned jewellery, you’re wearing a piece of history.


2. You Know It’s Made to Last
 

If you’re buying high-quality pre-owned designer jewellery, you know that you’re getting a piece built to last.

If a piece of pre-owned jewellery is still in excellent condition, then you know that it was built using the best materials and designed to be something that would stand the test of time. 

Of course, you can never be sure how long a new piece of jewellery will last, but a pre-owned piece has already proven its longevity.


3. A Classic is Always a Classic

Classic jewellery will always be classic; style icons don’t go out of fashion.

Take a look at the classic Tiffany setting for engagement rings, for example. This setting was first introduced all the way back in 1886, and more than a century later, it’s still in high demand.

If you purchase second-hand jewellery from one of the classic companies, such as a piece of pre-owned jewellery from Cartier, you know that it will be a style icon that will always be at the peak of sophistication. In fact, purchasing a pre-owned piece of jewellery that’s considered a classic means that you don’t have to worry about it going out of style, which could be the case if you’re buying brand new.


4. The Choices Are Endless

Think about all the pieces of jewellery that are likely to be made this year. Now, compare that to the number of pieces of jewellery that have ever been made. Which number is more significant?

If you’re looking for pre-owned jewellery, you have a far wider choice than you could ever hope for with new jewellery. There is centuries’ worth of jewellery for you to choose from, so you’ll always be able to find a piece that fits your style and budget.

Whether you’re looking for pre-owned ladies jewellery or pre-owned men’s jewellery, you’ll always have plenty of options to choose from.


5. You Can Buy More!

One of the most significant benefits of buying jewellery second-hand is that you don’t have to pay brand-new prices.

That means you can get far more bang for your buck. For example, if you think about the cost of a new piece of jewellery, you could either get a second-hand piece that is far more impressive, such as a larger stone, or a higher carat. Or you could spend the same on purchasing more than one piece of second-hand jewellery instead. 


6. You Might Find a Hidden Treasure
 

Another magical part of buying second-hand jewellery is that there is always a chance you’ll discover a hidden treasure.

It might turn out that the piece of jewellery you buy is worth far more than you paid for it. If that’s the case, you’ll need to figure out where to sell pre-owned jewellery to profit from your good fortune.

Or you can always just keep wearing it!


7.  You Can Rock a Vintage Style

Do you find modern fashion just doesn’t live up to classic vintage style?

If so, then modern jewellery just isn’t cut out for you. A piece of pre-owned antique jewellery will help you rock a chic vintage style that isn’t possible with today’s cheap and cheerful pieces.

For a vintage look, you can’t go wrong by buying second-hand.


8. It’s Sustainable

Fashion these days has become something disposable. The rise of fast fashion has had a terrible impact on the planet.

The good news is that buying pre-owned jewellery can help fight this trend. By reusing jewellery rather than just discarding it and buying more, you’re not just saving money; you’re saving the planet too.

Buying pre-owned jewellery online can even help to reduce the carbon footprint involved in your purchase.


9. You’ll Stand Out From the Crowd

If you buy a new piece of jewellery, it’s unlikely to catch the eye of many people.

However, if you’re rocking a stunning piece of pre-owned designer jewellery, it’s definitely going to stand out. People won’t be able to help but ask you about it and where you got it from.


10. You’re Investing in an Heirloom

Investing in a piece of pre-owned luxury jewellery is also investing in the future, too.

A high-quality piece of jewellery can last for tens or even hundreds of years. That means that the piece you buy today could be something that gets passed down from generation to generation and become a treasured heirloom for your family.
