About Oldyn Adornment

I remember the sound of my grandmother’s silver charm bracelet the most. A gentle jingle of all the memories collected over the years from her arm to mine. It is from this feeling of intrigue and the ability to hold in one’s hand the essence of an era that Oldyn Adornment evolved.
Whether a golden band for the finger or a special locket worn around the neck, these little bodily adornments hold the stories of our past and provide glistening markers for moments in our future.
This is Adornment Through History.

A Word About Antique Jewellery:

Oldyn Adornment specializes in antique fine jewelry ranging from the 17th to the 19th century. Each piece of jewellery is more than an item of personal adornment; it’s a survivor of changing hands, wars, geopolitical shifts and sometimes has made its way around a continent. Moreover, these small shining objects have also once been an expression of societal values and social class.
These little windows to history reflect the craftsmanship and design of a different era, and yet, it is extremely rare for an item over 100 years old to be without multiple iterations over time. Gold and gemstones have historically been costly materials difficult to access. A singular item of jewelry can in it’s lifetime be recycled over and over again by adding or taking away certain design elements to more accurately reflect the style of the time. It can also be reclaimed for its precious materials in time of need.

Thus, all jewelry from Oldyn Adornment displays some natural wear and tear. Most of these items have been lovingly worn through the ages. There might be slight scuffing, chipping, changes in colour, uniformed thickness, or non-originating components. However, it is these fore mentioned qualities that separate each piece of jewellery from the contemporary and are viewed as a testament to its long history and journey.
