Antique jewellery: treasures from three centuries

Antique jewellery is like a window to the past. Through colours and shapes, it transports us to a time that we only know from stories and shows us a piece of the reality of our ancestors' lives.
Halsbandaffaire presents you with pieces from three centuries: starting with delicious individual pieces from the Ancien Regime and Rococo jewellery to selected treasures from modern production. In our online shop and on site, we offer stylish antique jewellery from different eras, influenced by a wide variety of styles and fashions, while trying to preserve and convey the unmistakable quality of Art Nouveau, Biedermeier and the like. Find your new favourite historical piece with us and discover our antique earrings and rings or browse through our range of antique bracelets and antique cufflinks.

Buy historical jewellery online and on site

In our online shop, we present antique jewellery from around 1750 to the present day. Selected modern pieces of jewellery from current collections of small, fine manufacturers, preferably from Germany and Italy, complement the range. In our own atelier, we also produce our own designs such as gemstone and cultured pearl necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

Halsbandaffaire was founded in 2011 by art historian, gemmologist and diamond appraiser Christiane Scharrer-Sieb. We invite you to experience the history of antique jewellery both online and in our shop in Munich.

Why is antique jewellery so special?

There are many reasons to buy and wear antique jewellery, e.g. the sense for the individual or the appreciation for unique craftsmanship. Historic goldsmiths' work is unique and in keeping with the fashion of its time, but has lost none of its balanced beauty to this day. In addition, antique jewellery always tells of its period of origin, the preferences and trends of the time.

Aside from courtly customs, jewellery has always offered the opportunity to emphasise one's own personality, to show one's affiliation or connection with another person or to express feelings such as love and loyalty, friendship or memories.

Today, wearing a piece of jewellery that has survived peacetime and wars, that has been loved and cherished and passed down from generation to generation is an experience in itself and provides a unique insight into the past. It also means honourably reaching for a small piece of a time long gone and illustrates the appreciation for timeless beauty and genuine quality.

Antique earrings

Let yourself be enchanted by our selection of antique earrings, which were among the most popular jewellery objects in all eras. Their shape is always characteristic of the respective period of origin and ranges from discreet stud earrings to long pearl earrings.

Antique rings

Rings are among the longest worn pieces of jewellery and have had symbolic value for thousands of years. An antique ring can always be worn independently of other pieces of jewellery, because it stands for itself. Discover our antique rings from three centuries and be inspired by our historic signet and men's rings.

Antique necklaces

Whether diamonds, gold or pearls; antique necklaces offer the opportunity to set very special accents. Chains and necklaces have undergone a constant transformation over the last three centuries and offer a wealth of different designs that are still enchanting today.

Antique bracelets

Antique bracelets are special pieces of jewellery that bear witness to the stylistic preferences and fashions of past decades right up to the present day. Discover our carefully curated selection of historical bracelets and let our enthusiasm infect you!

Antique brooches

From functional garment clasps to purely decorative accessories, antique brooches have undergone major changes over the centuries and still add a stylish accent to a variety of styles and outfits today.
