For over a decade we have specialized in unique one-of-a-kind vintage and antique jewelry from the late 1800's until present day but our real passion is mid-century Japanese Akoya saltwater cultured pearls. Starting out with a single strand of pearls and an idea we have grown from a passionate collector to a restorer and then an online boutique. There is nothing like the quality of vintage and antique jewelry and it is our mission to make it an accessible and eco-conscious option for both the seasoned and novice collector.
We are always traveling across the country to antique markets and auctions acquiring buying more jewelry, so check back often.  Each piece is hand selected and carefully restored while still retaining its antique charm.
