The vintage jewellery we are buying on Etsy

Buying vintage jewellery can be as exciting and fun as going on a treasure hunt. But one needs a lot of time and patience, and a good eye, of course, to find out where to buy good pieces. There are several shops selling vintage jewellery on Etsy, and you can get lost there. Don’t despair, we can help you find some fantastic costume jewellery to add to your bauble collection.

One of the reasons we love vintage jewellery is the idea of wearing a part of fashion history around the neck. Not to mention that it can also be a good investment. One of our editors, for example, bought a Chanel chain belt, which value has more than quadrupled in a few years.

We’ve done the heavy lifting for you, scouring Etsy longer than we dare say. Here are the seven shops where we’re buying the vintage jewellery we love.
