As a someone who is obsessed with antique jewellery, it’s often hard to find a store that you feel you can trust. After all, we can’t all be Antiques Roadshow experts and no amount of internet research is ever going to be fool proof. But don’t worry, I’ve done the hard work for you and discovered the brilliant and beautiful Antique Jewellery Boutique.

A family business based in Hungerford, Antique Jewellery Boutique stocks high quality antique and vintage pendants, rings, earring and bracelets. Brace yourself, it’s a droolfest. Pieces are sourced from the UK, Europe and the US, and are often modern with a dash of old school glamour that you know have dazzled at more parties than Elizabeth Taylor has had lovers. It’s worth pointing out, that AJB covers a full range of price points, so you can buy something very special for less than £500.

With more than 30 years’ experience (they’ve appeared on Bargain Hunt and Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is), the customer service is outstanding, offering a no-quibble refunds, free repairs and exchanges (just in case you don’t like it in real life). So if you’re a magpie who’s looking from more history, variety and value for money than is available on the high street, have a look here first. Oh, and if Mr Muddy is reading this, all Christmas and birthday presents should be purchased here…
