5 out of 5 starsI set out on Etsy looking for something unique A charm for a vintage bracelet. I found it at Collecting Thoughts. The gold Australia Charm I found there was perfect in every way. I was looking for something that encompassed my history & what better than a vintage Australia shaped charm with the coat of arms. From the perfect charm to the lovely conversation, special packaging and beautiful little polishing cloth which all made my day very special. To top it off it also arrived express so it arrived safely. Thank You Bernadette for the perfect charm and making my purchase a lovely experience. I would recommend you & your shop to anyone looking for that special & unique quality item & attention to detail

5 out of 5 starsReceived this exquisite antique chain in the most beautiful packaging, with a gold polishing cloth included. Stunning quality for the price and looks even better than it did in the photos.
Bernadette is a delightful and helpful seller and shipped it to me the day I bought it. I cannot fault this seller nor her beautiful jewellery pieces. 10 stars out of 5, thank you so much, I'll be back soon 😍💕 -

5 out of 5 starsBernadette has sent my earrings in beautiful packaging, just in time for my birthday. Thank you very much. She mentioned that the stones are salt and pepper diamonds, but the were quite clear. The only downside is that the stones do not come with paperwork or valuation.

About CollectingThoughtsCo
PAST TO PRESENT JEWELLERY
COLLECTING THOUGHTS - evolved during my initial time in the family business. Since then I've continued working within a number of jewellery businesses selling antique through to contemporary design.
In 2017 Robert and I closed our Antique/Vintage shop "Collecting Thoughts". The intention was to streamline our knowledge, time & experience towards selling jewellery online.
Some of the pieces we are selling were acquired over the years through our family businesses.
As for now we are still buying and sourcing locally and when possible overseas.
The result is an interesting mix of antique to vintage - "Past to Present " jewellery.
(We work with Australian based Jewellers and if required Independent Valuers.)
Enjoy your Etsy Shopping with us - and thank you for stopping by.
Bernadette and Robert
