Sponsor spotlight: Make it a one-of-a-kind summer with estate jewelry

Most everyone in Edmonds is ready for summer, and for many of us, celebrating the new season means picking up some new styles. It’s a great time of the year to fall in love with something besides the usual shorts and sunhats. This summer, take home something truly unique: a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry, full of character, with a genuine history that’s yours to discover.

The simple definition of estate jewelry is any piece of jewelry that has been pre-owned. Estate jewelry can be super modern or very vintage, and you’ll find a wide range of styles, but the true meaning of estate jewelry goes far beyond that. “Estate jewelry is about more than just style,” store owner Andy Cline said. “Every piece of jewelry in our estate cases is pre-owned and pre-loved. So in addition to being one-of-a-kind in terms of style and craftsmanship, each piece has its own unique history behind it.”

Maybe it celebrated someone’s engagement decades ago. Maybe it was a gift passed from grandmother to mother to daughter, carrying sentiment throughout generations. Maybe it marked an anniversary or a personal accomplishment. “We can say for certain that these pieces were special to someone, and you can continue that tradition by making it special to you, too,” Cline said.

While Cline and his team don’t always know the story behind a piece, sometimes, they’re lucky enough to learn. “Often, when people bring us their jewelry, they tell us a little bit about what it means and where it comes from. That’s one of my favorite parts of the job,” Cline said. If you purchase pre-loved jewelry from Cline Jewelers, you may be able to hear the story, too! “We love to share those details if we can,” Cline said. “Beyond the diamonds and gemstones, beyond the style, that story is a part of what defines that piece.”

Estate jewelry creates emotional connections. Knowing your jewelry means you’re the one who knows the piece best. You help define its style, bring it to life and write a new chapter in its story.

While Cline and his team curate their estate collection to make sure each piece is of top-notch quality, they also try to collect a range of styles. “Everyone is looking for something different, and estate jewelry is maybe the best way to get a truly one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. Because when you go back in time to when some of these pieces were created, some of them were custom handcrafted, and most of them are no longer being produced,” Cline said. Whether you’re interested in the sleek, geometric look of Art Deco or a showstopping midcentury cocktail ring, the estate collection at Cline Jewelers has something for everyone.

Through the end of May, buy one piece of estate jewelry at regular price and get a second piece 50% off. Don’t be shy – go explore the estate cases and let yourself indulge a little. Cline says he sees it often: “A lot of the time, people come in looking for a vintage ring, and then they fall in love with a vintage necklace. It’s such a special feeling to find a piece of jewelry that seems like it was made to be yours. So we really wanted to give people a chance to take a few new treasures home.” It’s also a great chance to start a collection. Find a few pieces that complement each other – or fashionably clash – to create all kinds of new looks for the summer.
