Store profile: Antique Sparkle on Etsy.

Antique Sparkle, a San Fransisco-based Etsy store focuses specifically on antique and vintage rings from the 19th and 20th centuries. So, obviously, I love it.

What stands out to me about Antique Sparkle is their selection. This store has all kinds of rings from different eras, in different styles. The seller provides multiple pictures, including a picture of each ring on a finger. She also provides a wealth of information, including specific details about each piece’s quality. I’ve never bought anything from this store but I’d love to have the extra cash to try. Many items in this shop are under $1,000, but most are still over $500.

As with any online shopping, please don’t forget to make sure that the pretties you’re admiring are the right size before you pull the trigger. My jewelry sizing cheat sheet can help.

Store profile: Ageless Heirlooms.

I’ve loved this Etsy store for long time.

I found Ageless Heirlooms back when I first started seriously stalking jewelry online and I was so blown away that I messaged the Etsy seller, Lauren Rose, to tell her how much I loved her store, even though I couldn’t afford anything. She sent me a very sweet reply right away thanking me and saying I’d made her day.

More than a year later, it continues to be a wonderful store to oogle. It always has a marvelous selection and the most beautiful pictures.

Pricewise, it has a lot of pieces between $100 and $1,000. I think Ageless Heirlooms would be an absolutely perfect place to find a unique and meaningful gift for someone special (that is especially relevant since it’s now December, but I wouldn’t turn down anything from here any day of the year).
