Hey there! I’m Cassandra, & I have a diamond problem. The Copper Collection was born out of sheer necessity to sustain my obsession with estate, vintage & antique jewelry. Art Deco & Edwardian are my personal favorite, & I believe that white gold filigree is the greatest unsung hero of the jewelry game.
about the jewelry:
This collection includes the best & most beautiful pieces estate jewelry has to offer. Items are selected intentionally for their timeless aesthetic, singular style & excellent design. Any specific condition considerations are included in the listing.
All pieces were found personally at local pawn shops or through estate jewelry dealers I have an established, trusted relationship with. These dealers guarantee authenticity & I test diamonds to verify they are genuine. For higher-end pieces (replacement value over $10,000), I obtain & provide buyers appraisals for insurance purposes.
why invest in pre-loved jewelry?
ethical consumption: no violence, human rights abuses, poverty, environmental degradation or corporate profits will occur as a result of purchasing pre-loved jewelry.
a place in history: pay less for true vintage pieces instead of paying more for vintage-inspired.
one-of-kind: even if the styles are similar, no two estate pieces are the same & are just as unique as the person wearing them.
bespoke aesthetic: what modern jewelers would describe as “flaws,” turn-of-the-century jewelers celebrate & showcase as attributes that make each piece special.
support local jewelers: some high-value pieces in this shop include a professional appraisal (will be noted in the listing). My shop pays a local, family-owned jewelry store in my hometown to complete these appraisals. Completed appraisals will be included with applicable jewelry purchases.
save money: I’m a big believer that everyone can own beautiful, genuine jewelry that fits their aesthetic on a broke college-student’s budget. If there’s jewelry you’re looking for, let me know! I’m more than happy to keep my eyes open for a piece that fits your style & your budget.
Thank you for stopping by! Enjoy checking out the collection’s little pieces of history.
