Vintage Jewellery Survey
Posted by: | CommentsI’d like to find out a little more about the readers of this blog, what sort of vintage jewellery you like, where you buy it and why. Ive created this short survey and anyone who participates can read the answers too. I hope you find it fun and if I get a good response I’ll add more polls in the future. Thanks for participating.

Posted by: | CommentsAs you can see my “Whats hot Antique or Vintage?” poll is now closed. Here are the results;
Vintage = 55% , 21 votes
Antique = 45%, 17 votes
News/modern = 0%, 0 votes
So vintage is somewhat hotter than antiques with new or modern not getting off the starting block. Interestingly vintage has stayed slightly ahead all through the poll right from the start. Perhaps its time to dust out our vintage items and start showing them off.
AntiquesAvenue poll on Antique or Vintage
Posted by: | CommentsI have been running the “Whats hot antique or vintage ” poll on my blog for a couple of months now with no clear winner so far. It is clear however that visitors to this blog all have taste and prefer antique or vintage to new which currently has zero votes. I am going to close the poll in a few days so use this last chance to vote. Watch out for a new poll coming soon
Is it vintage or Antique?

Antique or Vintage
Have you seen my poll asking about if you prefer vintage or antique items? For the purposes of the poll I defined antique as pre 1920s and vintage as 1920s to 1970s with anything after 1980 as being modern. Is this right? Is the 1920s Nutcracker in the photo vintage or antique?
Strictly anything Antique should be a hundred years old or more making all things Edwardian now in the official Antique category. Lapada ( The association of Art and Antiques Dealers) runs fairs which dateline at pre 1940 for all things antique (so this Nut Cracker would fit in) whilst Bada ( British Antique Dealers Association ) still seem to stick with the hundred year rule and so they would reject the Nut Cracker.
So my definition which runs half way between the two cant be far out. Certainly items made in the 1920s and 1930s seem so similar in their art deco styling that it would be wrong to set a date of 1930 and create an artificial split in styling.
Does it matter? Or perhaps this is splitting hairs? After all all things which are now vintage will eventually become antiques if they survive long enough. This is partially why I named this site AntiquesAvenue – things that are on the road to becoming Antiques!
