Vintage jewellery

Vintage jewellery was made in another era and worn by someone before you. Here you will find all our vintage and antique pieces in one place: rings, earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets and brooches. Every piece is one of a kind.

What makes jewellery vintage?

We call a piece vintage when it is twenty years old or more. From a hundred years, we call it antique. You can see the difference in the details: the way a stone is set, an engraving inside a ring, a clasp nobody makes that way any more. The collection spans many different periods. Where we know when a piece was made, we say so in the description.

Checked before it goes online

Every piece passes through our team first. We test the purity of the gold, silver or platinum, our gemmologist examines the stones, and where needed a piece is cleaned, polished or repaired. With your purchase you receive a certificate with the details of your piece.

Vintage, antique or Atelier?

Alongside our vintage and antique jewellery we have the Atelier collection: newly made jewellery in a vintage style, chosen by us. Looking for a ring in your size, or a design you can reorder? Then have a look at Atelier. If you want a piece that exists only once, you are in the right place. Why not start with our vintage rings, vintage earrings or vintage necklaces.

Order your vintage jewellery online or visit our shops

We have been in the trade since 1973 and have four shops: in Amsterdam, Haarlem, Bussum and Monnickendam. Would you like to see or try on a piece first? Let us know and we will set it aside for you at the shop where it is. If you order online, you have 14 days to change your mind. And if you have jewellery or gold you no longer wear, we will gladly buy it from you.
