Have you ever tried Jewels by Erica Grace? They have some lovely things
Just starting looking! I'll check it out, thanks. Hunting antique ruby for a present.
What kind of antique jewellery are you looking for? Lang Antiques has beautiful Art Deco and Edwardian jewellery, but pricey. Alternatively you can check out Christies and Sothebys' auctions.
Thanks - I'm looking for a big(ish) ruby - either ring or pendant. Preferably red tones vs pink. It is for my mum who has ruby wedding anniversary coming up. I'm in Australia, so looking for US/Canadian, Europe/UK online sources (older jewelery!)
Thanks I'll look up Lang xx
Here are a few more in my list of bookmarks. I haven't bought from any of them before so I can't vouch for them:

I am obsessed with antique jewelry. This is definitely my favourite piece! Its 14k with a 2ct amethyst surrounded by pearls, given to me by my grandmother. She received it from her parents when she graduated
Can we see a pic of it topside?

Try goldadore in etsy. I bought from her my lovely 1940's diamond bypass platinum ring. I had it in layaway for 6 mos and didnt even use paypal and she sent it to me wonderfully wrapped. She got good reviews and is wonderful to work with. I love the ring so much! It was exactly as described. She got wonderful pieces as well.
I love vintage and antique jewelry. Jewelry years ago are better made than those modern pieces imo. I think i only have one ring from my grandmother that my mom gave to me. Its a pearl ring. My mom said that her mom wears this almost everyday thats why she did the same. I had to trade my LV neverfull for it lol. The pearl already turned a bit yellow in age. The gold was quite thick. The second vintage piece that i have is a diamond bypass platinum ring i got from etsy. Those 2 are the expensive ones in my possesion. I also have a ruby and diamond 9k ring I bought from an antique store. The sales person said its natural ruby but i dony think so. It looks too clean and clear to be real lol. Its a transparent ruby that resembles those man made ones. I hope its real ruby at least though im not 100% sure. I have too a blue sapphire 14k ring. Aside from a chip on top of the stone, the sapphire looks too good to be real. Haha they dd say its real though. I bought the two from the same antique store.
