I grew up in this business — working beside my father from the age of fifteen, learning the trade the old way. Somewhere along those years, Art Deco and antique jewelry stopped being merchandise to me and became a passion. When my father retired, I set out on my own and founded The Antique Parlour in 2014, with one goal: to bring the most beautiful antique jewelry and engagement rings to people who would treasure them the way I do.

The Faces Behind the Passion
We’re Natasha and Shawn — a husband and wife who fell in love with each other, and with jewelry that has already lived a life. The Antique Parlour is our New York boutique, where every piece is hand-picked by the two of us, one treasure at a time.
Our Story
Shawn’s Story
Our Story
Natasha’s Story
My love affair with jewelry began as a little girl, tagging along to my father’s work in New York City’s diamond district. I would watch, endlessly curious, as he sorted diamonds — and I never stopped asking questions. That curiosity carried me to the Fashion Institute of Technology, where I studied Jewelry Design, and it has never left me since.
The Why
Why Antique
Because no modern workshop can replicate what a master engraver did by hand a century ago. Every piece we choose has already survived generations — it carries proposals, anniversaries, and whole lifetimes in its details. We believe jewelry should be inherited, not merely bought, and there is nothing we love more than placing an heirloom into its next chapter: an antique ring beginning a brand-new love story on someone’s hand today.
The How
How We Curate
We search constantly — through estates, private collections, and the trade we both grew up around — and we say no far more often than we say yes. Each piece is dated by the evidence in the piece itself: the cut of its stones, its hallmarks, its engraving, the way it was constructed. Important diamonds are accompanied by GIA reports. If a piece isn’t something we would keep in our own collection, it doesn’t enter The Antique Parlour.
Our never-ending search continues — to curate an incredible collection of one-of-a-kind pieces, and to give you an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime. That is our promise, and our pleasure.
With love, Natasha & Shawn
