Where The Brand Started
Hi lovelies, I’m Shauna, vintage jewellery collector, treasure hunter and founder of Saint L’amour Vintage.
For me, Saint L’amour Vintage began with a deep love of collecting beautiful old jewellery and imagining the lives each piece had before us.
My interest in vintage and antique jewellery truly began when my aunt gifted me a Victorian ring from 1879, set with diamonds and sapphires. I completely fell in love with it. There was something so special about wearing a piece that had existed for over a century.
At the same time, I had grown tired of spending money on modern vermeil or gold-plated jewellery that would tarnish after only a few wears.
That experience changed how I viewed jewellery. Instead of constantly buying and replacing pieces, I began seeking out solid gold vintage jewellery that could last a lifetime.
Saint L’amour Vintage was created to share that feeling with other women — the joy of owning something truly special, timeless, and built to endure.
Why Invest in Vintage & Antique Jewellery
Today, more people care about sustainability and ethics than ever before.
When purchasing newly made jewellery, it’s natural to wonder where diamonds and gemstones come from, how they are sourced, and what impact their extraction has on the planet.
By choosing vintage and antique jewellery, you are giving new life to existing pieces — making a more conscious and sustainable choice while also owning something truly unique.
Before the era of mass production, jewellers worked slowly and carefully, sourcing high-quality materials and crafting pieces with incredible attention to detail. Many vintage jewels reflect a level of craftsmanship that is rarely seen today.
Vintage and antique jewellery is not only one-of-a-kind, but it often offers greater value than comparable modern pieces. These treasures are also more likely to retain or even increase their value over time.
Collecting vintage jewellery is not only an investment in your wardrobe, but an investment in yourself.
