Jewelry with a past. Chosen for the present.
About me
Jewels of Yesteryear is a chapter in my life dedicated to the quiet power of beautiful things made to last. I am a lifelong student of art history and decorative arts, and over time, my academic interest has grown into a passion for collecting, and my taste has evolved into one with a discerning eye. In 2019, I opened Jewels of Yesteryear, an online shop specializing in antique, vintage, and bespoke jewelry.
Selected with care
Each item in Jewels of Yesteryear is selected for its beauty, character, and quality. I look for pieces that reflect the cultural and social history of the period in which they were created. I am devoted to rigorous research to understand their place in history and committed to an authentication process. Many of my fine jewelry pieces are accompanied by an independent appraisal that attests to their value.
I’d like to help you curate your jewelry collection with intention, by practicing the principles of connoisseurship. Let’s find examples with lasting value.
“I cannot express just how glad I am that I happened upon this specific ring! It arrived exactly as shown with so much care and thought put into how it was packaged and presented. Danielle was also lovely! She was more than happy to answer all of my questions and I will always be grateful for her kindness throughout the entire process. I couldn’t recommend this store enough!”
