I Do Love Buckle Rings!
I’ve had my (Victorian, I believe) silver buckle ring for a few years now, but have only just started wearing it: I’ve had a fascination with buckle rings ever since. I believe I’ve seen some bracelets similar too. Not quite … Continue reading

A Vintage Venetian Find
I love this, I really do. The extra nice thing about it is that it was a gift. I don’t know when this was made, but I suspect there were many made for tourists, and I have since seen a … Continue reading

I’m really missing finding my antique jewellery bargains. I’ve also now been lured into looking at antique silhouettes. Great things to get, easy to store and the cheaper end of the market to buy thank goodness! I haven’t had my … Continue reading
