Every forgotten piece of jewellery has a story waiting to be continued. Whether it’s a jewellery box tucked away in a drawer, a vintage collection inherited from a loved one, or broken costume jewellery you no longer wear, every item deserves the opportunity to begin a new chapter.
Instead of ending up in landfill, your unwanted jewellery could find a new home, inspire a handmade creation or become part of someone else’s story. At Opal & Ivy, every collection I buy helps preserve beautiful treasures while bringing me one step closer to my dream of creating a sanctuary for rescued animals.
Choosing who to trust with your jewellery is an important decision. That’s why I offer a friendly, personal service built on honesty, kindness and respect, taking the time to understand both your jewellery and the story behind it.
Whether you’re looking to sell a single vintage brooch, pass on an entire jewellery collection or simply explore your options, you’ll deal directly with me from your first enquiry. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, I’ll always give honest advice and help you decide what’s right for you.
Most importantly, I don’t see unwanted jewellery as waste. Instead, I see beautiful treasures waiting for a new beginning. Some pieces are lovingly restored, others are repurposed into handmade jewellery, while many simply find a new home where they’ll be appreciated once again.
If you’d like your jewellery to become part of the Opal & Ivy Sanctuary Collection, I’d be incredibly grateful. Together, we can give forgotten treasures a new purpose while helping build a brighter future for rescued animals. However, if selling is the right choice for you, that’s absolutely fine too. My priority is making sure every piece has the opportunity to continue its story.
Every jewellery collection is unique, which is why I’m always happy to have a chat about what you have. Whether you’re looking to sell a single piece, clear an entire jewellery box or pass items on to the Opal & Ivy Sanctuary Collection, I’d love to hear from you.
Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, watches, rings and more.
Older pieces looking for a new home.ย Tangled masses welcome.
Broken doesn’t mean worthless. Many pieces can still be restored or repurposed.
Beads, findings, tools and unfinished projects are always welcome.
From a single box to an entire lifetime’s collection.
If you’d rather pass your jewellery on than sell it, every donated piece helps support my long-term dream of creating a sanctuary for rescued farm animals.
Getting started couldn’t be easier. Whether you’re looking to sell your unwanted costume jewellery or donate it to the Opal & Ivy Sanctuary Collection, I’ll guide you through the process from start to finish.
