I absolutely love the beauty of my erstwhile ring. Timeless with a ridiculous sparkle. They were so helpful with all my questions.

I recently received my wedding band from Erstwhile and cannot say enough good things about the experience. Kat was incredibly helpful in helping me make a decision when I'd narrowed it down two bands, ensuring that the band I went with would pair well with my engagement ring. The online ordering process was very smooth and I absolutely fell in love with the Prism Shifter band Maria crafted when it arrived. Working with Kat and Maria was amazing and I can't wait to order a next piece from them! read more

I purchased online from the site and I am very than happy to give a five star review! Amazing customer service, amazing quality vintage and antique jewelry, beautiful thoughtful packaging (when it shipped to me) which makes the entire experience wrapped up in the bow and perfect. They also have a fantastic return policy and shipped it out within just a couple days! We will definitely be purchasing jewelry from Erstwhile in the future. I only shop vintage/antique jewelry and have seen nothing but the very very best quality vintage on their site (after thoroughly searching high and low online), and now also seeing the confirmation in person having just received my vintage wedding ring from Erstwhilel. The wedding ring we ordered was in perfect condition and from 1905! Incredible. Will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you again Jesse for your wonderful help and customer service! read more

I was a little nervous about ordering my wedding band without first seeing it first but when it came i could not have been happier. I'm so excited to wear it every day! read more

Erstwhile Jewelry - gold hoop 4mm - Antiques Near Me - New York, New York

We were lucky enough to happen upon Erstwhile in a google search. And we are ever so thankful as it was the best find! Jesse is a delight to work with - helping to curate exactly what we were looking for. And now, two months after The Proposal, I still haven't stopped staring at my most beautiful, one of a kind ring!! If you are looking for vintage or vintage inspired, stunning jewelry - the personal touch at Erstwhile cannot be beat. Thank you, Erstwhile, for being part of our forever story!! read more

Oh my goodness. He went to Jared! (Jared Klusner, that is.) So firstly, dear Yelpers, I am engaged and absolutely thrilled. (Its a good story, so feel free to ask when you see me next). I had set a challenge for dear fiance (DF going forward). I really liked the idea of vintage or antique engagement rings. I wanted a ring with character and that was made with love by a skilled artist, and not mass produced with "blood diamonds" or via a website simulation. But I also didn't want a big ring - I'm a tiny person. I like tiny things. With tiny details. DF went on a wild goose chase via the internets for help. He found Erstwhile Jewelry online and noted it was conveniently located in the Diamond District by Rockefeller Center. So he paid Jared a visit. And another. And another. And walked out with picture number 11: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/fGhcGXppYDh9_PtL3SOhrw?select=gqG5j9wr8vYHd3iUW5Vx6w I am absolutely in love with my engagement ring. Its everything I want. It has amazing craftmanship, tiny details, and fabulous quality. And all this is a testament to Jared and his ability to find these gems and connect them to new people. Second, buying antiques or vintage items tends to raise a lot of issues. Namely, resizing and proper care. Jared was fantastic about having the ring resized for us (it took 3 days right before Thanksgiving). I also went back to him recently to get the ring cleaned and the prongs tightened. The resizing, cleaning, and care were all free. He also told me how best to clean my ring in case I didn't want to make the trip back to him. Third, his website is well maintained, beautiful, and a veritable vortex of shiny things that keeps you clicking page after page. He is fantastic with email communication and customer service. That said, there are places where you should manage your expectations. Since every item is unique, once an item sells, you're out of luck. DF had bid originally on one item but it turned out to have sold a few days before. Jared is a buyer/seller - he doesn't do the resizing or fixes himself. He has the work done off site, which means the turnaround is going to be longer than a Zales or Tiffany's who may have those services on site. His space in the Diamond District is also hard to find, amid a warren of other jewelers and stalls that can be very overwhelming. read more

After eyeing Erstwhile's Instagram feed for months, I finally took the leap and bought a diamond eternity band. I had VERY high expectations, and Erstwhile   far exceeded them. The service, start to finish, was a dream, and when the package arrived, I felt like I was unveiling a treasure. All of the details were incredibly thoughtful, and the ring is gorgeous and so special. I had been nervous about making such an important and personal purchase online, but I could not be happier that I did. I can't wait to buy another treasure from Erstwhile (and to eventually get to the store in NY!). read more

I have purchased my wife's engagement ring, wedding band, and one-year anniversary ring from Erstwhile. Jesse and his staff made my buying experience simple and fast, yet at the same time VERY through. Their collection of vintage jewelry is impressive, and I would recommend that anyone whose appreciates the intricate designs of the early 20th century to browse his collection. From purchase to delivery, all steps of the process were secure, and my item arrived exactly as I was informed, with a special note for my wife inside. The next time I'm looking for that special item, Erstwhile is where I'm going! David Leibowitz read more

Erstwhile does not sell rings, they sell investments. Experts. Ethical business owners, trust is important and earned. Trust and value of investment 10/10. My wife's ring is one of a kind. Just like her. Thank you. read more

This store has the most beautiful and unique jewelry on the planet. Delicate and vintage pieces. Most definitely going to buy from them. Customer service is a priority! read more

Have you ever been to a jewelry store where the employees didn't seem interested in selling the jewelry? Welcome to Erstwhile. The service is polite but standoffish (not laid back or hands-off but standoffish). Their hours are M-F 10am - 5pm, so if you need to work to pay for that engagement ring, good luck finding a time to come or expecting the staff to even attempt to work around your schedule. I visited Erstwhile with my fiancee to pick out my engagement ring. I was one of those lucky girls who gets to select the exact ring she wants. Erstwhile was on the top of my list, but that first visit left a bad taste in my mouth. And the second visit too. On my first visit, I was presented with multiple boxes of rings in no logical order, ran out of time to try on the rings, and got rushed out, so the employee assisting us could make her next appointment. In the last 30 seconds before we were asked to leave, we hurriedly took photos of the rings that I wanted to consider (no, we didn't have time to take all the photos we needed, and logically the photos came out blurry since we were in such a hurry). It was too bad because I found "the ring" that spoke to me just as we were getting rushed out. When I finally found the time to make a second visit, the employee couldn't share much information on this specific ring style when I asked. Weird. I got a follow-up email days later alerting me that the ring had sold and wishing me luck finding a ring elsewhere. Weirder. I would've totally been open to paying Erstwhile to replicate the ring (which typically costs a couple grand more than the ring that already sold), and we had even discussed that option during my second visit. It ultimately wasn't offered to me...nor did she offer to let me know if new rings came in that matched my style. Oh, well. The rings were pretty, but I certainly won't be making another visit to buy my engagement ring or our wedding bands there. read more

I purchased an engagement ring at Erstwhile. After eyeing a few rings on their website -- which is very well laid-out -- I made an appointment with Nikki to check it out in person at their NYC show room. The show room is a small office where you're able to check out as many rings as you'd like ... Nikki was helpful with answering questions and making it feel like an easy process. She was transparent about the company's pricing and how the purchase process would work if I were to buy the ring. After checking out the rings, I honed in on two that I really liked. Over the course of several visits, I decided on the ring I wanted to purchase about two weeks after my first contact with the company. Throughout those two weeks, I visited the Erstwhile showroom four times -- one time was literally just to sit in a chair and think. Nikki and Jared are helpful about answering questions when you need them to, but they're also happy to sit and do emails or other work while you just stare at jewelry for as long as you need to. This was comforting as I felt worried about making a large purchase on a ring that I had only eyeballed for a few minutes. Finally, I chose to make the purchase online and pick it up at their showroom. The process was smooth and I emailed Nikki again to set up a time to pick up the ring. Over the two weeks I exchanged about two dozen emails with Nikki, and she was always quick to respond and provide guidance when needed. I happily got the ring appraised for the amount I paid and my girlfriend said yes when I proposed with it a couple months later. She loves it. Overall, the process of buying an engagement ring is really weird. Living in NYC, the Diamond District has tons of in-person stores that you can walk into to take a look at rings, but a lot of them are very pushy and it's extremely difficult to tell when you're being ripped off. On the other hand, shopping for a ring online is easy and efficient, and pretty transparent all things considered, but it's an odd thing to spend a ton of money on something you've never even seen in real life. Erstwhile is the perfect in-between. If you're lucky enough to live close enough to their showroom, you have the advantage of browsing a very well-done website that is full of all the information and professional photos you need, plus the advantage of seeing it in person and dealing with patient, non-pushy employees to boot. I didn't think the purchasing process would be that easy when I first started shopping, so I'm glad I found Erstwhile. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

My fiance and I were recently engaged, and he gave me a ring from their By Erstwhile collection. From the very beginning we've had an absolutely wonderful experience with Erstwhile and Nikki! My now-fiance and I visited the showroom together a few months ago, where I tried on several estate pieces as well as rings from the By Erstwhile collection. We knew that we wanted a vintage stone, and when we found out that the By Erstwhile collection is made in New York with reclaimed platinum and gold, we knew this would be a great option for us. We appreciated how Nikki wasn't pushy at all, yet she was happy to engage us in conversation and give us information about everything I tried on, from vintage Tiffany rings to the By Erstwhile design that I now wear every day. After my fiance bought the ring, Erstwhile kept it at the showroom for him until he was ready to propose, and he also had the inside of the band engraved before he gave it to me. After he gave it to me, we decided we weren't completely happy with his chosen font style, so we took it back to Erstwhile to have the engraving re-done and to have the ring appraised. Nikki was totally understanding that I wanted to have my ring back as soon as possible, and she was able to turn it around super quickly - she got it back to us on a Thursday after we dropped it off on Monday afternoon. From the very beginning, Nikki has been super nice, knowledgeable about diamonds and jewelry in general, and extremely communicative and available to answer all of our questions. I honestly don't think we ever waited more than a few minutes for an email response from her - her availability to work with us was just incredible! If you are looking for vintage jewelry, or new pieces made of old stones and reclaimed metals, Erstwhile is as good as it gets when it comes to a fantastic selection and the best customer service we could have imagined. Also check out their blog - it's a great source of information about various antique diamond cuts and instructions for how to clean your ring at home. read more

After admiring rings on the Erstwhile site for ages, my now fiancé (Mike) and I chose the perfect one - a 1890s three-stone stunner. I received the ring from Mike in early February, and less than 24 hours the centre stone fell out... I guess this is one of the hazards of buying such an old piece of jewelry. Luckily I was at home, and still had the stone. I took it to a jeweller as soon as possible, and notified Jared at Erstwhile, who refunded me the cost of the repair - amazing service! As a Canadian, purchasing this ring was a bit of a pain - there are no payment plan options (as are available for Americans) and the duty to get it over the border is wild. After some tinkering around with options though, we made the purchase and I am so very happy that we did! I would highly recommend purchasing an antique from Erstwhile - it's good for the environment, has a wonderful story behind it, and is full of wonder! read more

Erstwhile Jewelry - 1890s Engagement Ring - Antiques Near Me - New York, New York

My (now) fiancé and I had a wonderful experience with Erstwhile Jewelry. You cannot annoy these people. They answered every endless email with a impressively quick and pleasant response. They sent additional pictures and videos not listed on their site or instagram. These friendly and knowledgeable folks did everything in their power to accommodate my needs. They even managed to keep it a secret when my fiancé purchased my dream ring that I thought was sold to someone else. I have a gorgeous, vintage, one-of-a-kind engagement ring from Erstwhile that I will cherish forever. I was so happy working with them. I never write reviews, but knowing the stress of purchasing an engagement ring motivated me to let others know that you will be safe and completely overjoyed working with Erstwhile! They helped make my dreams come true! Now go find your beautiful vintage piece with them! read more

After losing my antique engagement and wedding rings, I knew I wanted to replace them with another unique antique piece. Came across several Erstwhile rings on Pinterest, and was thrilled to see they offered appointments at their New York office. Nikki was a joy to work with, and I was able to try on several of the beautiful rings I had pinned. The only hard part of the entire experience was choosing just one! Our new ring just arrived and we could not be more thrilled with this gorgeous 1880 cluster ring. I'm so happy I went with something less traditional, and would recommend Erstwhile to anyone for their service and beautifully curated selection of timeless antique, Art Deco, and vintage rings. read more

Erstwhile Jewelry - Antiques Near Me - New York, New York

I was nervous about buying jewelry online, but the free return made me feel a lot better -- but no need! The ring is even better in person, the packaging was gorgeous and the customer service kept me informed throughout the process. Strongly recommend! read more

My engagement ring was actually not from Erstwhile, but my wedding band is. My husband proposed to me with a beautiful Veragio ring that I love, but the wedding bands that came with it were just not up to my standard. I worked with Jared to get the perfect matching wedding band made. He patiently worked with me and helped me choose the best matching option. The result is beautiful- I wear the wedding band alone or with my engagement ring and both options are great. About the company- I think they have such a unique offering and such a charming quality :) The selection Erstwhile has is absolutely amazing- such beautiful things!!! read more

My boyfriend and I didn't like the idea of purchasing an engagement ring online (especially since I couldn't try it on first), so I e-mailed Jared a hundred+ questions. I wanted to know: size of the diamond and ring width, GIA vs. EGL, return policy, ring sizing, etc., etc., etc. He responded back promptly to every e-mail and with a kindness and understanding that I truly appreciated. I felt good vibes through his e-mails and told my boyfriend that I thought we would be okay if we ordered from him.... Long story short, 5 months after our initial contact, I was given a ring from Erstwhile and it is even more gorgeous in person! The pictures on the website are phenomenal, don't get me wrong! But in person, my ring is so much more than I could have imagined. I e-mailed Jared a couple weeks later asking about how to clean my ring and he sent back instructions and then posted some instructions on his blog, SUPER HELPFUL. I would order from this place again and again and recommend this website (since I've never been to the store) to all my girlfriends in the market. read more

Love my ring. Love love love it. It's a 1927, freaking gorgeous, diamond. I'm so happy my husband never went to some cookie-cutter diamond shop, and instead got me a phenomenal ring, that was me, and only me. I love daydreaming about the woman who first wore this ring, and the adventures she must have had. It's absolutely stunning, platinum band, and a cut of diamond that I don't actually believe is cut that way anymore. It's just so unique. Vintage. Awesome. I look at it everyday, and smile. Thanks to Jared, I'm a happy lady. Oh, and thanks to Noah, who uhhh, actually bought it and proposed to me. So awesome. Go to Jared. Don't look back. read more

Jared and his wife are very knowledgable about rings. I never liked wearing rings before I got my engagement ring and was hesitant about looking at diamond rings because I wanted something more original. After our meeting, I realized that my original thoughts were ridiculous. Jared showed me his collection and now I must say that I love diamonds!! I now only buy antique jewelry and Jared updates me when he sources new pieces that are my style (and in my price range). Great experience with Erstwhile and I highly recommend looking at their collection if you're looking for an engagement ring or other statement piece! read more

My experience with Erstwhile was a pleasure. I ordered through the website and it was certainly a little scary to not see the piece in person but upon request I was sent many more images and videos so I could feel confident about my purchase. It arrived in beautiful packaging (after their team double checked on date to ship so I would be home) and has exceeded expectations. What a special experience and wonderful opportunity to own a truly heirloom piece of jewelry. Special shoutout to Jesse who was wonderful to work with. read more

She LOVES IT!!! I can't thank Jared enough for his helpful service and fast response. I found the ring that I loved and knew my girl friend (now fiance...she said yes!!) would love. The selection at Erstwhile is amazing, and each ring is unique in it's own special way. I really wanted to find something original and these beautiful antiques definitely fit the bill. The website too is pretty extensive and full of accurate information about each ring. Though the rings look great on the site, they look even better in person. Each ring is rated, certified, and appraised. Whether online or in person, you can definitely feel confident in making a purchase from Erstwhile. For those who are looking for something truly special, Erstwhile is the place to find exceptional antique jewelry or your dream engagement ring. Thank you Jared for making this exciting time in our lives that much better! read more

I had a very specific image in mind for my ring, but couldn't find it anywhere. I found Erstwhile's site while researching vintage rings online and am happy that I did! They have a wide selection of vintage and custom rings ranging from Georgian to present-day. The rings available are carefully curated; the buyer has a great eye. I came back several times before we finally settled on a ring (I was torn between a few). Service was exactly what I wanted: informative, respectful, and nice. I was able to go through all the rings at my own pace trying on some rings multiple times or even multiple rings at once. I never felt rushed or judged as I did at other jewelers. Tip: if you see a ring you like that has already been sold they can provide a quote to have the ring recreated. read more

Five yelp stars. Very happy with our ring and experience working with Jared. I'd gladly recommend Erstwhile to anyone looking for a low-pressure environment and a unique vintage ring. Starting with the informative and clean website, we had a good feeling about Erstwhile. That definitely got us in the door and once we began working with Jared it quickly became clear that we'd found our place. The selection was amazing and like a number of people have said, the rings look even more beautiful in person. He's got a large stock on-site, and once you are in the room, he'll gladly let you spend as much time as you need trying on different rings. He doesn't put any pressure on you, but is there to answer any questions on each of the rings. As a side note, we made it clear we were just doing an initial browse, more to get a feel for what my girlfriend liked, and didn't commit to buying from Erstwhile, but Jared still spent time with us and really took the time to help educate us on the process. He was also very good to work with over email during the actual purchase process and everything with billing and shipping went smoothly. read more

It was so easy and satisfying buying from Erstwhile Jewelry. From the moment I was asking about the ring from Jesse, she helped me out immensely by sending me many photos and videos and answering all my questions patiently. The ring looked exactly as in the photos and the videos. It is very pretty and well made. Even after the purchase, Jesse was very kind in telling me the best way to clean the ring. I recommend Erstwhile Jewelry very highly! read more

First off, the website is beautiful and very helpful. The pictures are great quality and the site is easy to navigate and well designed. I picked out the ring online and went to the store to see it in person. Jared was not feeling well but stuck around to help me out anyway. I really appreciated that type of service. I could tell he was in pain. Although I was 99% positive about my ring choice, the selection was so incredible that I almost, almost, changed my mind. They have gorgeous pieces and one would have a hard time not finding something in their collection. I couldnt be happier with the ring I chose which was a platinum, diamond ring from 1925 with an amazing setting. Thank you, Erstwhile! (My fiancee says thanks too!!) read more

I stumbled upon an engagement ring on Erstwhile's website and fell in love with it. I showed it to my then boyfriend and a few weeks later he proposed with it on top of a mountain. We were a little bit scared to be buying a ring online, but the description matched what we received exactly. The price was very reasonable for such a unique and beautiful piece. Loved the discount we got for "liking" them on Facebook. I am constantly complimented on it and people are sure that it must be a family heirloom. Lovely experience all around! Thanks Erstwhile! read more

Thanks to Jared and everyone at Erstwhile Jewelry for not only an incredible engagement ring, but also a phenomenal experience overall. From my initial browsing of the extensive, informative website, to my first call with Jared, to my 2 separate visits to their gem of an office, I always felt I was in the right place. I was really put off by some of my earlier experiences with jewelry stores, where everyone seemed intent on "making a sale", and I felt completely out of my depth. Jared added no such pressure to the interaction, taking the time to explain a great deal about each piece's history, pricing, and so on, without any pressure whatsoever. In fact, Jared's extensive knowledge and passion for the pieces they offer made my visits to the office just as interesting as they were productive. While I had a rough idea of the style/specs I was looking for, Jared really helped hone what I was after, and in the end, guided me to literally the perfect ring for my very happy fiancee. As you can see from their website and office, the company has a great sense of style, and their inventory reflects that- there were a lot of amazing options to choose from. As for pricing, I did a ton of research before my purchase, even more since- and of course the ring was appraised independently as well. I definitely got a good, fair, price for the piece- which gives me real peace of mind after the fact. I can't recommend Erstwhile enough, it's truly a one of a kind establishment! read more

I first contacted Erstwhile in search of an appraiser specializing in antique diamond jewelry after having some trouble trying to get my engagement ring appraised. Jared gave me the name of a wonderful, knowledgeable appraiser. I will definitely be back when it is time to find the perfect wedding band! read more

Just purchased an engagement ring this past week for my now fiancé, and while we couldn't be happier with the ring itself, Jesse whom I'd been in contact with throughout the buying process answered all my questions promptly and was extremely helpful. We live on the north shore of Massachusetts and the delivery up here was extremely easy and took all of 24 hours. Definitely will be recommending Erstwhile to all my friends and family interested in vintage items in the future. read more

Working with Erstwhile was very easy and wonderful! I had a ring in mind when I went in for a visit but it's very easy to get distracted by the gorgeous vintage jewelry they are constantly sourcing. Jesse and her colleague are true experts and provided great advice and styling tips. After I made a decision, it was a very simple ordering process and was pleased with the amount of time it took for the piece to reach me. I would definitely recommend working with them. I will always be keeping an eye on what new vintage rings they have! read more

My girlfriend really likes vintage jewelry and mentioned Erstwhile to me a while back after she read about it on a blog. When it came time to start looking for an engagement ring I remembered her interest in this place and after some browsing online I ended up taking a quick visit to their showroom while in NYC for the day. Nikki was incredibly helpful, she listened and gave honest recommendations based on what we were looking for. After the visit, we stayed in touch through email. Nikki always responded quickly and was happy to answer whatever questions I had. She was also very understanding and patient with me while I was still uncommitted and trying to make a decision. It took a couple months to finish saving up the money, but when the time came Nikki was again very responsive and helpful with the buying process. She got an appraisal for the ring that day and shipped it overnight so it arrived the next morning. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a vintage, or vintage looking ring. They have a very wide range of gorgeous vintage jewelry in all different types and styles. I am sure we will be returning in the future. read more

Nikki was extremely helpful in guiding me through the whole purchasing process. She responded to my emails extremely quick and was able to make the whole process a breeze. Very happy with the product and service. Will do business again. read more

wow. not for me. beauuuutiful vintage rings. this place is in a hard to find office building, by appointment only. one would expect some pretty awesome one-on-one service, but Jared kind of just sat there on his laptop and answering phone calls. it was awkward. I think we just didn't click. a few examples: "what size did you say you were? 4.5? are you sure? i think you're more of a 5." um, don't ever tell a girl she's a larger size than she thinks, even if she is. and he checked. i am a 4.5. "where else have you guys looked? oh that place. isn't it a big chain store?" no. it's not. it was a small antique store in seattle, one of kind, with much nicer people working there. and when we asked the price of one of the pieces, and my boyfriend nodded in approval, Jared responded with "oh... is that still in your price range?..." yikes. I'm gonna chalk it up to one big misunderstanding. i don't know why getting along with the jeweler makes any difference in picking a ring, but it does. i just don't feel comfortable buying from here. read more

Gorgeous pieces. Large selection. Great website. However, I feel the same as some other reviewers on here... service was less than great on our visit! My boyfriend and I were left to navigate the entire selection on our own, and only received feedback from the staff member when we asked. Otherwise he was talking on the phone or catching up with emails on his computer instead of helping us along. Perhaps some customers prefer that, but I would've been more inclined to purchase from here had more attention been to us while at the shop. Buying an expensive piece of jewelry is a HUGE purchase and a big deal! Can't say I was comfortable here to make the big leap. We did not feel like valued customers we went elsewhere mostly for that reason. read more

i agree with some other voices on this chain...beautiful website and rings but NOT warm service. there are plenty of places that go out of their way to make your engagement experience perfect and personalized. this was not that place. read more

i absolutely love my engagement ring! there couldn't be a more perfect ring out there for me - and i'm so glad my fiance found it from jared at erstwhile jewelry. when i first saw the ring on their website, i was attracted to the lovely pictures....and it's definitely even more beautiful in person. the selection of engagement rings (and jewelry in general) is perfectly curated and every piece is unique. even though all the rings are truly antiques - the quality and condition of the rings are flawless. my ring needed to be resized (at no charge) and the jeweler that Jared sent me to had it done by the end of the day! i also needed to have the diamond reset so jared sent me back to the same jeweler (at no charge), but when I wasn't completely happy with the outcome, jared was super helpful and understanding and made sure that it was reset once again perfectly. excellent customer service and attention to detail. i will forever recommend erstwhile as the place to go for antique jewelry! read more

I spoke to Jared on a Monday morning and had a perfectly sized ring delivered to my door in Las Vegas Thursday morning before 9:00am. The pictures online were a huge help in deciding but really don't do it justice! The ring came packaged carefully and looks amazing; it's obvious everyone at Erstwhile has great pride in every piece they send out. The ring came with an EGL certificate as well as an appraisal so getting it added to my home owners policy was that much easier. The only problem I encountered was that after about 3 days of wearing it my fiancé discovered that the center diamond was noticeably loose. I could have sent the ring back but I didn't want her to be without it for a week just to have the prongs tightened. I took it to a local jeweler and they ended up having to re-tip the mounting prongs because they weren't quite long enough to bend and secure the diamond. I'm sure Jared would have taken care of it free of charge but it was only $60 and I had the ring back within 3 hours. Overall I am very pleased with the Erstwhile and will always keep them in mind when it comes time to purchase more great vintage jewelry. read more

I love the story of Erstwhile Jewelry. A modern shopping experience with roots in a 19th century Ukrainian town. From a great, great grandfather in Odessa to a great, great grandson in New York City. But aside from a sweet family tale, what you will find there is a most incredible collection. J.S. Klusner inherited an eye for finding the most stunning and unique pieces of jewelry. I can not visit the website often because I want Everything. I was lucky enough to purchase a Victorian era gold ring and I love it. The ordering process was simple and it arrived in the mail safely and promptly. If you are looking for something unique, vintage, one of a kind, and drool worthy, go to this site. And if you're looking for an engagement ring, you will most likely find a worthy one there as well. read more
