Our Story

Carmen has been around jewellery – learning, making, designing and selling most of her adult life. So when the opportunity to purchase the contents of a huge storage locker full of vintage and retro jewellery came up, she jumped at the chance. For her it was like an Aladdin’s cave. She instantly fell in love with the Hollywood glamour of vintage jewellery, the old-world days of clip-on earrings, the charm of retro fashion and the glorious 80’s. She could not believe the quality and the workmanship. They don’t make them like they used to!

All the pieces come from a retired jewellery wholesaler and have never been worn. They are truly unique items. There are limited quantities on all the jewellery for sale as they are no longer in production. Once they sell they are gone for good, unless Carmen finds a box that she missed. So if you see something you like don’t hold back, because it may not be there when you decide to purchase.

In her ongoing quest to curate the finest vintage and retro jewellery, Carmen tirelessly sources pieces from around the world. The collection is ever-evolving, with new additions constantly gracing her inventory. To stay up to date with her latest finds, frequent visits to her collection are highly recommended as well as subscribing to her newsletter.

But Carmen's passion extends beyond merely collecting and selling vintage jewellery. She possesses a talent for repurposing and breathing new life into damaged and mismatched vintage pieces. Instead of discarding them, she lovingly repairs and reimagines these fragments, creating stunning, one-of-a-kind creations that blend the beauty of both old and new elements.

Join Carmen on her journey through the enchanting realm of vintage and retro jewellery, where each piece tells a story and carries a touch of timeless elegance.
