Hi, I'm Gemma, a Dublin gal with a serious weakness for anything that sparkles!

The Nook came about in the most honest way possible. I started buying vintage jewellery for myself, fell completely in love with it, and then, as you do , started buying way more than any one person could reasonably wear. At some point it made total sense to start selling the pieces I couldn't keep, partly to share them with people who would love them just as much, and partly to justify the habit. No regrets.

If the name rings a bell, you might remember me from my old beauty blog, Beautynook. That little corner of the internet was where my love of all things beautiful first found a home, and when it came to naming this new venture, it felt right to carry a piece of that with me. The Nook has always been my space, and now it's yours too.

Every piece you'll find here has been hand-picked by me. I'm drawn to vintage jewellery for the same reason most people are once they discover it, there's a story behind every piece, a craftsmanship and character that modern jewellery rarely matches. Whether it's a chunky gold ring, a delicate filigree brooch, or a string of pearls that's seen a few decades of dances, I only stock pieces I'd genuinely want to wear myself.

So have a browse, find something that catches your eye, and know that it was chosen with love, and probably a little too much excitement, by someone who gets it.

Welcome to The Nook, thanks for stopping by, Gemma x
