Really lovely antique jewellery. Stacey and Simon have been brilliant at helping me find the pieces I was looking for, such a beautiful collection. Have bought a number of pieces from Lillicoco now and I keep coming back! I get such great compliments on my victorian crescent necklace. Cannot recommend enough.

Lightning fast international shipping -- I had the ring in 3 days all the way from the U.K.! The macro photography was really good and clear, but the ring is even prettier in person. Thank you so much, will definitely shop here again in the future.
