Best Kept Secret in Town

I started working for Past Era Antique Jewelry in 2008.   I am totally embarrassed to say that before I walked into our store I had never heard of Past Era Antique Jewelry.  I was hired to do the advertising and marketing of our fabulous store and I will not stop until everyone knows about us.

I had been in real estate for 32 years, but I have always loved jewelry.  I have to admit when I first looked at our jewelry I had no idea what rock crystal, alexandrite or gunmetal was. I didn’t know Georgian jewelry from Edwardian jewelry.  I have been a history buff all of my life and I am now in Jewelry History Heaven.  Every piece of jewelry in our store is identified by our gemologists and owner and dated as to time of origin.  I can just imagine who wore the jewelry we sell (always a grand duchess or a queen in my imagination).  I must admit, the older the jewelry, the more I want to own it.  Pictured here is the ring of my dreams, which is a Georgian memorial ring featuring a faceted and foil-backed, rock crystal supported by a scrolling, black-enameled shank, probably English dated 1754.
