Antique Shopping Destination: Ruby Lane

I’ve been shopping on Ruby Lane since 2008, although the company first began back in 1998.  My first experience with the site catered to my collecting spirit, and helped feed my desire to continue my hunt for a good deal on antique and estate jewelry!  The website allows you to easily contact Shop Owners and create a dialog between buyer and seller, just as if you had walked into a real store.  Ruby Lane is the world’s largest marketplace where vintage and antique collectibles are showcased, with over 200k items listed under the Jewelry category!  Items are added everyday from sellers across the globe!

Below are a few of my favorite shops:
