We are pleased to offer you a selection of royal theme jewelry. Crowns, crosses and swords have become a popular collectible. These vintage items are becoming very difficult to find and purchase, despite the advent of internet sales. I search diligently to offer them to you at reasonable prices. Some of the items have been restored prior to my acquiring them, I replace dead or missing stones, and gently clean and carefully check the pieces functionality prior to offering them for sale. (click here to read about caring for jewelry)

This page features mainly SIGNED vintage costume jewelry with a royal theme. Occasionally I'll offer a newly created piece if it's well made and I feel it may be of interest to collectors - I note this in the description.

Please follow the links at the bottom of the page to crown page 2 for unsigned jewelry with a crown theme, and page 3 for Maltese crosses, sword pins, other than crown type royal jewelry, and page 4 for royal theme earrings.
