About Us
I’ve been a collector as far back as I can remember.In 1998 I turned an interest into a career and started selling antiques at antique shows around NJ.
Fast forward 10 years I made a decision to follow my true passion, estate & vintage jewelry, vintage clothing and accessories.
Over the past twenty plus years I’ve participated in many of the East Coast largest Antique shows, the Pier Antique Show & Manhattan Vintage in NYC, the Textile show and Brimfield in MA and The DC Big Flea in VA, to name a few. I’ve even done the Alameda market in CA, on occasion.
I’m happy to answer any and all questions about items in my shop, please ask.
My Ruby Lane shop will focus on antique & vintage jewelry as well as vintage one-of-a-kind accessories.
And since I really love everything vintage, don’t be surprised to fined some sawing related items, small sterling silver as well as other Items of Interest.
