Antique jewellery refers to pieces that are over 100 years old, each one carrying the charm, craftsmanship, and story of a bygone era.
From the intricate designs of the Victorian period to the romantic flourishes of the Edwardian era, antique jewellery reflects the aesthetics, materials, and social values of its time.
Often handcrafted with exceptional detail and set with natural gemstones, these treasures are not only beautiful adornments but also tangible links to history, love, and legacy.

It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one!
