Vintage Designer Costume Jewelry

About Us

We have been buying and collecting vintage jewelry, and especially Chanel, for many years and we are now passing on that knowledge, and experience (and we hope love!).

The most important point in buying any vintage piece is to buy well, which means buying from a reputable source, avoiding pieces that are other than good vintage condition, and buying authentic pieces - unfortunately counterfeiters are everywhere, especially with the prices that good pieces can fetch. See our article on Authenticating Miriam Haskell pieces and you will see why expert knowledge is often needed!
Fortunately for our customers all our jewelry comes with a complete guarantee of authenticity or we will make a full refund. We can make this offer because we have complete confidence in our pieces - so you can too.

Secondly you should enjoy the experience – whether you are a serious collector or just want one special piece, it should be fun! Anyone who owns Chanel vintage jewelry will confirm the joy of buying and owning it comes from its special quality – beautifully made timeless pieces that are truly to treasure. And there is the rarity factor - you are unlikely to encounter someone wearing a similar piece which definitely adds to the allure!

Thirdly it really helps to know something about Coco Chanel and how the costume jewelry she produced contributed to the whole ‘Chanel’ look. Coco Chanel was the first to popularize costume jewelry and it is no exaggeration to say that most of the costume jewelry produced today continues to draw on her original ideas and designs. We have written a short biopic that you should find interesting. So enjoy the site and if you have any questions or comments please email us as we are only too glad to hear from you! We are always looking to buy good-quality Chanel, Haskell and Schiaparelli jewelry, whether one piece or a whole collection. Please contact us if you would like to discuss any jewelry you have - we are extremely friendly and very fair.
