Hello and welcome to our website.

To introduce ourselves, we’re Martin and Kathy, the owners of Vintage Ethnic Jewellery. We sell vintage ethnic adornment and jewellery from the ancient cultures of Africa, the Middle East & Asia.

Splitting our time between the UK and Morocco (where we lived for several years), we've had the opportunity to build strong relationships with several private collectors and trusted sellers, from whom we source our pieces. We do not buy wholesale or from auction houses as we prefer to deal directly with owners or expert dealers.

We personally choose each piece we buy and tend to look for authentic, one-of-a-kind pieces. We are often asked to source specific pieces that collectors want to add to their collection, and we have done this with much success.

Pieces from our collection have been used by film, theatre and television productions, also for display in exhibitions.

Our descriptions are correct to the best of our knowledge and if there have been repairs or restringing etc. that we are aware of, we will tell you.

Enjoy browsing our collection, and if something catches your eye that you would love to own, don't leave it too long as it may sell out and be gone forever – most pieces here are one of a kind. You can pay securely on our website and we'll get your item to you as quickly as possible. We ship worldwide. Any questions, just drop us a line:
