The styles of the past are finding their way into brand-new designs.

As auction houses court millennials with digital bidding platforms, and dusty antique shops in forgotten corners of town are reinvented as sport for weekend vintage hunters, jewels from the past have found a place in the present. To be classed as an antique, a jewel must be at least 100 years old, but each of these future heirlooms came fresh off the bench this year. These revival pieces are proof that styles from the history books — the linear designs of Art Deco, floral flourishes of Art Nouveau, Georgian repoussé, Victorian mourning jewels — are still very much in demand.
