Hello and welcome to our little shop of Antique & Vintage treasures...
I’m Emily, who you might find yourself chatting to if you have any questions.
I started up the business at the end of 2020 with a handful of rings I’d collected during a long period in lockdown!
Over the last couple of years I’m more than happy to say the business has grown and grown, thanks to the support of many lovely customers.
In 2022, we were able to take on Leo full time. Leo’s always been in the background helping, mostly with the web design side of things, but now he’s working on lots of new exciting things to come.
We live with our three children, who we would like to say help...however they mainly just hide rings, and destroy packaging.
They did however inspire our name: Forest ‘Wolf’ and Willow ‘Ivy’ gave us their middle names as inspiration for the company, maybe they’ll get a little more involved as they get older, who knows.
We have a little help from our lovely goldsmith, Paul - who helps provide us with a sizing and repair service. We’re lucky to be able to offer this at a very reasonable amount, as we take no profit from this service.
We specialise in rings, especially Antique Old European Cut Diamonds, which we have a soft spot for.
Our main goal is to help people live sustainably, whilst still being able to have gorgeous jewellery.
There’s a lot of ethical issues around the mining of gold and precious stones, therefore we’re extending the life of jewellery that’s already been mined, manufactured and travelled. This is reducing any further damage to our beautiful environment, yet still bringing you a gorgeous piece of jewellery, full to the brim of history - does it get better!
All items over £1,000 come with a written replacement valuation certificate, written up by a local jeweller ~ we recommend this is added to your insurance, on the chance you ever needed to claim for repair.
All of our gems are tested properly by qualified jewellers, so we’re proud to be confident in the pieces we sell.
Ever learning and growing, we pride ourselves in our friendly and approachable service, so please do feel free to send us a message with any questions.
Emily & Leo
