Gerry,

>     why don't you call them "antiques" circa 1980's or earlier. 

    This would be against the law! Federal law requires that a jewelry
    item must be authenticated as 100 year old to be classified as an
    "antique." 

    If you are trying to scam an unsuspecting public use the terms
    "estate" or "vintage." Estate simply means previously owned, which may
    not apply to old stock. Vintage has no consistent or useful meaning
    in jewelry at all, so go for it.
