ADH Gems Antique Jewellery and Vintage Jewellery WebsiteWelcome to the online home of ADH Gems Antique Jewelry and Vintage JewelryNow incorporating Camelot Collectables AntiquesVERY SPECIAL BESPOKE JEWELLERY
We also have an extensive collection of vintage and antique timepieces and watches, including vintage Rolex, Omega and many other prestigious brands. We will be building another website to showcase our watches so if you are looking for a Ulysse Nardin, Girard Perregaux, Longines or Jaeger LeCoultre please contact us. Please note, however that our high grade watches (£10k plus) are not available for general sale but on a private, members only website.
All Vintage Jewellery Purchases come with a standard gift bag or the original box / packaging if it has survived. You can upgrade to a beautiful luxury (and we do mean luxury) box for a small additional charge. Sorry but we no longer provide boxes as standard on all our items due to the hike in the Royal Mail charges for packages. Any items that state 'Standard Box' should read 'No Box' but it is a big job to go through and change everything and we have a million other things to do (get those violins out).
We are in the process of constructing a comprehensive online web-gallery with high resolution close ups of all our Vintage Jewellery stock. As with everything, time is the factor in completing this endeavour and time is a commodity that is priceless to us so please do not get frustrated if you would like to see more pictures of anything. There is an 'enquire' link on most estate jewellery listed so feel free to contact us and request more pictures should you require them. We will always accommodate such requests at the first possible opportunity and even create a new web page dedicated to the item of your interest, with YouTube videos included where possible. Your cooperation and understanding is greatly appreciated - we are antique jewelry dealers remember so all this modern technology is an constant learning process for us. Postage Worldwide is FREE for any item (well free to our customers anyway) We always use UK shipping methods that can be tracked and insured for your peace of mind. For overseas orders we base the shipping method on purchase price, we are sorry but some bad apples have spoilt it for the rest of you - we cannot sell an item for £10 then spend £50 on shipping. If you require additional insurance for your item please ask us in advance, but please understand that we are not going to pay more for the shipping than the cost of the item purchased. If overseas customers require couriered delivery please accept that this will incur a considerable charge.
Please accept that we are jewelers providing quality items of Antique Jewelry for our loyal customer base. We are not suppliers of scrap metals at prices lower than the intrinsic value so if you are looking for items to scrap then please look elsewhere. We do have many items priced based purely on the metal content in our Clearance Area but we do not sell items at below their scrap value, we are a business after all and do have more excitatory brain cells than inhibitory. As such, any enquiries merely asking for the gold or platinum weight in an item will be ignored - that means we will not reply!! If you would like to see any of our antique vintage jewellery in person then please come along to our shop in the historic village of Tintagel. We are opposite the visitor's centre on Bossiney Road, the shop name being Camelot Collectables due to the Arthurian link with the area. We have already had visitors from all over the country and truly appreciate the support and feedback. North Cornwall is a fantastic place to visit, so why not make a weekend of it - browse our stock, have a Tarot reading and meet some world famous artists all in the same village. We hope you enjoy our website, why not find out more about us, get in touch. CUSTOMER'S CURRENT FAVOURITE PAGES:

We are often asked how different items are defined. The following resources provide valuable information on exactly how each era and period defines its jewellery and what the trends were at that time. We will be constantly updating this information.
PRESS RELEASE We will be releasing the following Press Release on 20th February 2013 - if you have a press source you would like to include it in then please feel free to do so: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We take great pride in the work that we do restoring our antique jewellery stock and servicing our vintage watches. Our photography skills are not great and we will only ever take photographs in natural light and do not use PhotoShop or any other such software. We hope that this gives the most accurate representation possible of every item we put on here. Our site may be 'basic' but that is because when we started it Google Sites were partnered with our hosts and unfortunately the building service is extremely restricted. We will be developing more websites (no choice really) and then we will be able to upload far more quality vintage jewelry to those sites.
Unfortunately we never seem to have the time to actually get round to doing this, so please bear with us. If you do feel that the photograph does not portray an accurate representation of the item you have purchased then please just let us know. We have a fair returns policy and will always look after our customers - that is why we have so many people come back time after time. We are a genuine business with our shop in Cornwall clearly advertised and we do not believe in the anonymity that the web sometimes throws up. We love to talk to our customers on the phone and we are real human beings who work very hard to get things right to the best of our abilities.
All of our repair work and information is under advisement from the British Jeweller's Association
All of our valuations are based on the advice from the National Association of Valuers and Auctioneers
All of our watch repairs and information is recommended by the British Horology Institute
All hallmarking information is researched and all information is as accurate as humanly possible.
In the meantime we are trying to keep this site as up to date as possible so that our customers are not disappointed when it seems no new stock has been added. As I am sure you can understand, opening the shop has taken a lot of the time we allocated for website updating. Thank you once again for your patience.
If you have any comments on our vintage jewellery (our vintage jewelry if you are American) then please contact us.
