About the Brand: Luca Carati jewelry is a perfect example of Italian style and taste. Carati jewelry pieces are classic, elegant and timeless. Carati brand has been following the best goldsmith traditions since being established in the late 1980s in Valenza. Today each piece is still handmade in Italy with high quality standards in mind. The concept of Italian Bellezza (Italian Beauty) is the core of Carati aesthetic. Specializing in making gold and diamond pieces, Carati jewelers mastered the technique that endows the greater light to their gems. Carati pieces represent an outstanding interaction between diamond and light. However, the company is well known for using the whole range of minerals, such as lapis, carnelian, onyx and malachite. This is a rare practice among Italian brands. The natural harmony of the gems is an endless source of inspiration for Carati jewelers. Today Carati found a great balance between their hand-made craft and modern technology. This balance allows the company keep making truly beautiful and valuable jewelry pieces for their clientele. About Vintage Jewelry: Vintage jewelry is something we can talk about for days. Since the subject is that big and has multiple aspects to discuss, we’d like to focus on the most important parts of it. So, what is vintage jewelry? Why it’s so appealing? And how to buy your vintage jewelry online? In the industry, different sellers and makers have different opinions on the time period when vintage jewels were made. Here at Nadine Krakov, we consider vintage as anything being made between 50 and 100 years ago. Therefore, all jewelry produced from 1930 to 1980 called vintage. This time frame is comprised of Art Deco, Retro and Mid-Century. Why do we love vintage jewelry so much? It’s all about the quality of making and - of course - the look. Vintage pieces were mostly made by hand or at least hand-finished while modern jewels are mainly cast. As the lifestyle back in the days was much slower, jewelry makers literally had more time in their hands. Skilled craftsmen honed their craft and reputation. They couldn’t allow a flimsy, poorly done piece to ruin that. Mass market jewelry didn’t exist at that time. Each little detail of a piece was executed thoughtfully and with the high quality in mind.
