Look for hallmarks or maker’s marks stamped on the metal.
-
Examine the design style—Art Deco, Victorian, or Retro styles often indicate age.

Check for natural wear and craftsmanship details like hand-set stones or filigree work. Professional appraisal or certification can confirm the era and value of the piece.
