About us.

VINTAGE JEWEL BOX

The Vintage Jewel Box has been established since 1992 ( also known as The Jewel Box) selling quality vintage costume jewellery and accessories at most of the major antique and Art Deco fairs around the country. 

Everything for sale on our website is a genuine vintage or antique item and therefore may have some slight wear commensurate with age, please bear this in mind when making a purchase.  We do not sell new or reproduction items.

We pride ourselves in only selling vintage pieces that we would be happy to own ourselves so they are only ever in good to excellent condition.  We want you to be happy with your item so we provide a detailed description noting any obvious flaws and give measurements for wearing length and depth etc.  We do not sell items that are noticibly restored, altered or have major problems like broken pins or missing stones.  All our items are clean and wearable and jewellery is presented in a quality gift box. Each item has a condition guideline to help you make your choice.

If you have a question we haven't addressed please contact us via email, mail@vintagejewelbox.co.uk before making your purchase.
