About Jewels Collecting Dust.
On these pages you will find an eclectic mix of Gold Silver Diamonds Gemstones and Paste jewellery. The vast majority of items I deal in are antique and vintage.
I am both a dealer and collector of Fine Jewellery, Silver, and Costume Jewellery. I buy what I love so this website reflects my own personal taste as well as what I deal in.
Most of the items here are for sale, although a few pieces shown are taken from my own personal collection and hence are marked not for sale.
Whether you come here to browse, research, or buy you are very welcome.
