It’s no secret that I love jewellery. I have inherited jewellery, unusual contemporary jewellery, custom made jewellery and vintage jewellery.
I sometimes buy jewellery new if I really fall in love with it. My wedding and engagement rings were bought new. But mostly I scratch around in charity shops, consignment stores, pawnshop auctions, estate auctions and antique shops for vintage jewellery in gold and silver. Because it is unique and really good value.
Etsy has some really great shops where you can buy vintage jewellery at reasonable prices. You tend to pay more than you would at the local pawnshop because digital shopfronts come with costs, and the owners also need to curate and photograph everything. But there is no scratching through piles of chaff to find your wheat here. You can browse for fun, send in a request for something you are after, and see the jewellery.
