Question

Favorite Etsy shops: Etsy is a goldmine for affordable fine estate, vintage, and antique jewelry. Look for established shops with good ratings. For excellent pricing, I especially like to check out shops located in the Midwest, or anywhere an 800sf house doesn’t cost 1.4 million dollars… enter your search terms and filter by shipping location. But there are exceptions to this! Also don’t sleep on UK sellers.

Some Etsy shops I’ve saved: sameoldgold, jeanjeanvintage, thomasbrothers, faxxelange, 1122andco

Madame Fortuna: If you happen to be anywhere near the Delaware River in Eastern PA or the lower Catskills then a visit to the boutique in Narrowsburg, NY - or check out Alison’s instagram to get a sense of the types of pieces she sources.

Lovely person and a business well worth supporting!

Edited to Add: she also travels to select shows!
