Quality vintage jewelry, or any jewelry for that matter, for the most part,will have prong set stones. However, during our experience , we have found many beautiful and worthy of collecting pieces with pasted in stones that simply shimmer and are works of art in their own right.
Why do collectors prefer prong settings? There are several good reasons. As one could surmise, glue can yellow with time and the most obvious is that they stone can fall out. The workmanship in a prong set piece is more involved and therefore tended to cost more to make and therefore sold for more. Today prong set vintage pieces are worth more and cost more, they hold and held their value.
TODAY MOST JEWELRY IS MADE WITH PASTED IN STONES! Even when the piece has expensive stones like the expensive Swarovski crystals.
For the most part if the piece has prong set stones it is a Superior piece of jewelry.
