Welcome to my webpage. I hope you find something you love or that special gift for someone to treasure, or maybe just learn something new about costume jewelry! I also have stores on Etsy and Ebay. Please contact me if you are looking for something special, have a question or just see something you like.
I source all my pieces locally and hand pick each one. I live in the South Coastal area of Massachusetts. Most weekends you will find me at an estate sale, yard sale, antique shop or flea market. I am always on the hunt, every single chance I get for that special piece.
I started this venture 10 years ago when my grandmother died and left behind boxes of jewelry. As I started going through her pieces and I was just amazed at the quality and how well they the pieces were made and realized that I could not get rid of any of it, each piece reminded me of her. I could picture her wearing them and picking out that special piece to match her outfit for the day. She was so glitzy and glamourous and every day she dressed like she was going to a party, and I really do mean every single day!
For the past 10 years I have connected and met many people in this business. I continue to read and purchase every book about the history, design and manufacturing of vintage costume jewelry. I belong to many jewelry groups and just love selling, buying, collecting and making minor repairs to vintage pieces. There is still so much to learn and I discover something new every day.
I never sold my Nana’s jewelry, it is neatly put away in my personal collection. I started collecting and selling vintage jewelry online and of course my store is named after her. Her name was Estelle, and somehow Vintage and Estelle formed Vestelles!
