Estate jewelry (or estate jewellery), in a formal sense, is jewelry and often timepieces which are part of the 'estate' of a deceased person. More specifically, the term refers to second-hand or pre-owned jewelry, with the 'estate' appellation signifying that the item is antique, vintage or an otherwise considered a significant or important piece.

Most modern commercial jewellery continues traditional forms and styles, but designers such as Georg Jensen have widened the concept of wearable art.
The late 20th century saw the blending of European design with oriental techniques such as Mokume–gane.
More expansive use of metal to adorn the wearer, where the piece is larger and more elaborate than what would normally be considered jewellery, has come to be referred to by designers and fashion writers as metal couture.
