    I would appreciate an answer I can feel secure is correct, and if it
    comes from Orchid, I know it will be. 

    At what age can a piece of jewelry be called "Vintage?" 

    I am seriously considering selling off some of my personal jewelry.
    I started collecting Sterling Silver from scrap silver trays given to
    me by the jeweler to keep me busy while my mother conducted serious
    business with him in the Jewelry Mart on Canal Street in New York
    City. 

    Much of the scrap came from the depression years, and the need to
    raise money for necessities. I began to buy gold jewelry in 1955 when
    my world traveling began. Some of this is now 50 years old. I do not
    want any of this to end up as melt. 

    I have one son and two grandsons, no ladies in my lineage. So you
    can see where I am coming from. 

Thanks
Terrie
