I have been buying and selling vintage jewellery, vintage costume jewellery and vintage accessories in London and the U.K. for about 30 years, and am now in Grays Antiques in central London. I started selling vintage jewellery and accessories in markets such as Covent Garden and Camden Passage, and antiques fairs such as Alexander Palace, Greenwich Art Deco, Battersea Art Deco and Kensington Decorative Arts.

I sell an eclectic mix of vintage jewellery, vintage costume jewellery, vintage bags, vintage compacts, scarves and other vintage accessories such as vintage cigarette holders and vintage powder boxes.
My favourite period is the 20's - 30's but will sell anything that I like. This includes some antique and Victorian jewellery, art nouveau jewellery, art deco jewellery, early plastic jewellery - such as celluloid jewellery, bakelite and galalith jewellery, Czech and Venitian glass jewellery, white paste jewellery, jet jewellery, Mexican jewellery, silver jewellery, 40's and 50's jewellery and more modern jewellery such as 60's plastic jewellery, 80's gilt jewellery, Lea Stein, Pavone and Butler & Wilson jewellery - and I sell some mens accessories - cuff links, buttons, studs and tie clips. I particularly like vintage beads and restore necklaces. I specialise in U.K. jewellery and European vintage jewellery, but I have some American jewellery. |
Currently I share a stand with Lola of Unicorn at Grays Antique Markets (The Mews) London U.K., by Bond Street tube station. The Mews is at the back of Grays Antiques. I am in the basement in Vintage Modes where I have a very comprehensive selection of vintage jewellery, costume jewellery, compacts and other accessories.
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 I am happy to help anyone who cannot get to London, or the U.K., or who cannot find something. Also, I like to look at things when I buy them, but am always glad to hear from someone wishing to sell something interesting.
