This is Oldmine…

At Oldmine Jewelry, you will find vintage jewelry (older than 50 years), as well as antique pieces (older than 100 years), all one of a kind and handmade back then by skilled Scandinavian goldsmiths.

All pieces are crafted from SOLID GOLD (not plated, not filled), predominantly 18K. Additionally, I have a soft spot for vintage silver pieces, so you can expect to find those from time to time.

Your confidence is important to me, which is why I guarantee the authenticity of each piece. Most items bear full hallmarks indicating the carat, country of origin, year, and maker. If a piece is lacking hallmarks, it will undergo an X-ray test to verify its authenticity and carat. Furthermore, all gemstones are assessed by a certified gemologist.

Hugs, LE
