Where do you buy jewellery for yourself?

[istolethetalisker]

I usually wear costume jewellery from small craft shops - it’s pretty, it supports a small business, and I haven’t broken the bank if I lose it - but where do you get your jewellery? All of my good pieces are inherited - not entirely sure where’d I go if I wanted to choose one for myself.

*where I’d go

I have a small collection of 'good' jewellery (diamonds) and most of that is from a local jewellers (not a chain, but an independent business.)

I've a few things from local jewellery makers (all solid silver.)

Other jewellery I've bought from John Lewis as they have a wide range of brands as well as pre-loved jewellery in their stores.

I buy at auction. A fraction of the cost of new .

I go to a lovely little independent jewellers. It is near where I grew up - since moved away a bit but still make the effort to go there when need arises. Went specially for my engagement and wedding rings and any special occasions. It is just such a nice shopping experience, as well as supporting a small local business which has been in the area for a couple of generations and such a lovely selection at reasonable prices. I can't pass an independent jewellers without popping in!

Vintage on ebay. I have specific designers /companies I look out for.

My husband buys me jewellery from Monica Vinader and I buy myself occasional bits from Naledi. They are non- profit organisation who make pieces in South Africa and have very regular sales and 2 for 1 offers. I think they also plant a tree for every purchase.

Fellows? Or somewhere else?

Another vote for vintage on eBay; particularly from charity sellers like BHF, Cancer Research etc, as they usually provide a guarantee of authenticity.

@SpringMeadows im not in UK, the Saleroom is a website that has listings for many UK auctions.

I'm going through a couer de lion phase. Especially the geocube bracelets.

Usually I buy from John Greed.

I'm on my 4th bracelet in 4 years. Not because they don't last, I just end up fancying one in a different colourway every now and then.

I get Monica Vinader and Dower and Hall in sales or on Vinted.

Kit Heath on Vinted too

There are some real bargains

Ooooo never tried vinted! Lots to think about thank you all

company etc.

My friend gets some beautiful jewellery from Vinted. I personally like antique jewellers. They have a huge range of styles, some really beautiful pieces.

A local antique jewellery dealer in my local town.

I'm buying from this new brand for my everyday jewels.
