Not all vintage, antique, and historical jewelry is the same. This presentation provides a historical overview of antique diamond cuts from the 15th through early 20th centuries, explaining how cut, style, era, and jewelry context affect valuation.

Rather than focusing on technical gemology, Gail Brett Levine will bring her 40 years of experience in the jewelry trade and expertise as a personal property appraiser to the identification and appraisal of historical diamond cuts. Attendees will learn how visual characteristics and historical context affect market behavior and auction value.
