The Whitehawkes difference and approach to pre-owned, vintage and antique jewellery shopping.

At Whitehawkes we have a passion for fine Vintage and Antique jewellery and we are delighted to make a collection of our specially selected items available on Whitehawkes.com and our Etsy Store.

With twenty years experience in fine jewellery our team has a keen eye for design, quality and detail. Every item that we have available for purchase has been carefully examined for quality and condition. If we would not be happy to own or wear a piece that we source ourselves we simply do not make it available.

We pride ourselves on the level of detail we include about each item in our listings to fully inform you about all aspects of each special piece prior to purchase and welcome questions so that you can make a fully informed decision. All of our high resolution macro product photography is untouched in order to portray an absolutely accurate representation of an items current condition. This is like shopping on the high-street with a magnifying glass or jewellers loupe on hand to study each piece of jewellery being considered, providing our customers with a high level of confidence both before and after purchase.

A key part of the Whitehawkes difference, as we call it, is that every item of jewellery is carefully cleaned and expertly polished to restore the piece to as fine a quality as possible ready for its new owner. In many cases we believe that you might mistake our vintage and antique jewellery on a condition basis for a new item whilst retaining its original unique charm and style!

We love that Vintage and Antique jewellery offers rare and unusual styles and precious materials that are becoming increasingly difficult to find on the high street. This offers you more opportunity for exclusivity and uniqueness in your jewellery collection and is a key part of our selection process.

We also love the fact that finding new homes for Vintage, Antique and preloved jewellery pieces is a more sustainable option and kinder to the environment. Therefore we have decided to continue this message by making all of our luxury complimentary boxes using Eco-Friendly FSC-certified materials to be caring to the environment but not compromising on luxury presentation.

Communication with our clients is of paramount importance and we endeavor to respond to your questions as soon as possible through the Whitehawkes.com contact form, WhatsApp, Instagram, Etsy messaging and by email if you prefer at makemesparkle@whitehawkes.com

We operate exclusively online which means that without the overheads of a retail premises and it's associated costs we are able to offer the best possible prices and value in the pre-owned jewellery that we offer to our customers.

We are a proud professional member of the International Gem Society (IGS) and our team has achieved the National Association of Jewellers, United Kingdom (NAJ) Professional Jewellers Diploma.

We look forward to welcoming you as a new Whitehawkes client and making you sparkle!
