Welcome! I'm taking a break from adding items - check back around 5/25 for new pieces or follow me on instagram, twitter or here on Etsy for automatic updates to your feed.

If you're looking for something particular and don't see it in my shop, I'd love to help you find it! I'll hunt for anything from an antique diamond ring to a paste pin. Just convo me and let me know what you're searching for.

Thanks for visiting!

I adore this pendant necklace! It's beautiful and in great shape. There is a scratch on one side of the glass that I thought should have been disclosed in the listing, but if turned around, it hardly shows on the other side. Would consider purchasing other items from this seller. Thanks!

Second Generation Antique Jewelry Afficionado

I picked up my fascination with antique jewelry from my grandmother. She lived in the UK for a short period in the 30's and during that time amassed a wonderful collection of old English jewelry, some of which I inherited when I was a teenager. These items seemed to me at the time to be imbued with a beauty and magic impossible to find elsewhere in my life. I love all the history and symbolism contained in each piece. This shop gives me the opportunity (ok, excuse!) to go out and look at many wonderful artifacts and then share my finds with other jewelry lovers here on Etsy. When I got out to look for pieces for the shop I always feel like I’m on a treasure hunt!
