About
Me
I
have been buying and selling vintage costume jewellery
and accessories for about 30 years. This developed out
of an interest in collecting. I started selling in markets
such as Covent Garden and antiques fairs such as Greenwich
Deco and Kensington Decorative Arts. Currently I
share a stand with Lola of Unicorn at Grays Antique Markets
(The Mews) by Bond Street tube station. The Mews is at
the back of Grays Antiques. I am in the basement next
to the Victory Cafe.
I
sell vintage jewellery, bags, compacts and other accessories
such as powder boxes. My favourite period is the 20's
- 30's but will sell anything that I like. This includes
art deco, early plastic jewellery - such as celluloid
jewellery, bakelite jewellery, jet jewellery, Czech
glass and Italian glass jewellery, silver, 40's jewellery,
and more modern jewellery such as 60's plastic jewellery,
Lea Stein and Butler and Wilson. I particularly like
beads and re-thread and restore necklaces. Most of my
jewellery is European, but I do have some American jewellery.
I
prefer to sell in my shop - as I like the contact with
my customers and feel that it is good to try the jewellery
and accessories on - but am happy to help anyone who
cannot get to London, or who cannot find something.
Also I like to look at things when I buy them, but am
always glad to hear from anyone wishing to sell something
interesting!
