At the early morning
antique and collectable markets, our eyes scan table
after table overfilled with merchandise, much of it
neither antique nor collectable. It can take hours
to find the hidden treasure we hope will be there.
Some items of jewellery seem to call out to us.
Here is a flapper necklace that conjures up an image of the grand parties in The Great Gatsby. There's a
rhinestone bracelet that fits perfectly in the cocktail
jewellery collections of the 1950's. Around the
corner may be a flower basket brooch that could have
been worn on the dress of an Edwardian lady.
We seek out the
characterful jewellery that defines past eras. We
scour the many and varied markets in and around London.
We travel throughout the UK and visit markets in Europe
and America. We go to jewellery courses, read books and
articles, visit museums and jewellery exhibitions to
learn more about the vintage costume jewellery included
in our galleries.
Genre Vintage Jewellery is
about searching out those great finds in vintage and
retro costume jewellery and offering them to you, at
affordable prices.
