There has been a long family history in dealing with decorative antiques, going back to the 1960s when my Mother had a number of shops in London.

My earliest memories are of the early hours of the morning visiting antique markets in the West End of London looking for early, quality costume jewellery pieces. My love of antiques and, in particular, vintage costume jewellery has been in my blood ever since.

My Mother had a succession of antique shops over the years, with her last shop in the 1970s.

My passion for antique and vintage costume jewellery started when my husband bought me some vintage Christian Dior jewellery in the 1990s. My first piece was a lovely Dior drop pearl Brooch.

I caught the bug; my interest was awakened and I started collecting for myself.

Vintage costume jewellery has become an ever-growing field for the collector. The skill and design of many of the pieces are “works of art” in their own right and have quickly become sought after pieces for the avid collector, giving pleasure for both adoring and wearing.


Together with my husband and partner Norman, we have pleasure in presenting you with our stunning collection.

We carefully research and select all of our items, reflecting our own style and taste.

We hope you will take a look, enjoy the beauty, share our passion and join us in appreciation of beautiful, stunning and wearable vintage designer costume jewellery and other beautiful decorative antique items.
