About Us
At Unique & Antique Jewelry, we celebrate the timeless beauty of antique and vintage jewelry. Every piece in our collection is carefully curated for its elegance, craftsmanship, and history. We believe that jewelry is not just to be worn—it’s to be cherished and passed on through generations.
Our Story
We’re Coralie and John, a couple who decided in 2021, during the Covid lockdown, to follow our shared passion and create something meaningful together.
John is a jeweler and gemmologist, with years of expertise in antique and vintage jewelry. I come from a background in client relations at a major jewelry house. Together, we combine expert knowledge and personal care to bring you a curated selection of beautiful, timeless pieces.
Our journey started when I wanted to find a special 1960s ring as a gift for my mother, and with shops closed, I turned to online searches. Finding the perfect vintage piece was a challenge—few options, often at outrageous prices. After finally discovering the perfect ring, we started exploring and hunting for antique jewelry online for fun… and it quickly became a passion, even a little obsession.
Today, we combine online research with frequent trips across Europe—especially in France—to discover new treasures
Our Mission
Our passion for antique and vintage jewelry is driven by one simple idea: finding jewelry should be a joy, not a challenge. We know how difficult it can be to find a piece that is beautiful, authentic, and fairly priced—we’ve lived it ourselves. That’s why we created a boutique where you can shop with confidence, knowing each piece has been carefully sourced, inspected, and, if needed, restored.
We search tirelessly—both online and through travels across Europe, especially France—to find jewelry with history, quality, and character. Every item is chosen with you in mind: to bring delight when worn, peace of mind in its authenticity, and lasting value that can be passed on.
Our mission is to help you consume differently, to invest in timeless pieces rather than fast, disposable trends. Here, you will find unique treasures that are ready to be loved today and cherished for generations, pieces that tell a story and connect you to a tradition of craftsmanship and care.
In short, we do this for you: so that discovering, buying, and gifting antique jewelry is an inspiring, joyful, and confident experience.
Our Selection
Every piece in our collection is handpicked with care and expertise. We travel across Europe—particularly France, the historic heart of jewelry making—to find exceptional antique and vintage treasures. France is home to centuries of jewel-making excellence, from the ateliers of famous maisons to the workshops of independent artisans who perfected their craft over generations. By sourcing here, we ensure that each piece carries authentic craftsmanship, rich history, and timeless beauty.
We focus on pieces created between 1800 and 1990, crafted in gold and platinum and set with fine or semi-precious stones. Every item undergoes a rigorous inspection, and if needed, is professionally restored before it reaches our clients.
Our criteria are simple but strict: quality, authenticity, and value. We make small margins because our priority is offering jewelry of exceptional quality at fair prices. Each piece we select is a unique treasure, ready to be worn, loved, and passed down for generations.
