Finding Vintage & Antique Disney Jewelry - A Guide


Question
This question is actually on behalf of my mother. Between the years 1954-1956, she recieved a gift from her mother-a mickey mouse ring. (she tells me it was sterling silver, though she's not sure and that it was a children's ring with the head of mickey on it) She lost this ring and wants to find another like it. My question is, where might I find such jewelry? Also, are there any websites that list antique jewelry, specifically disney related? ANY information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and take care!

Christine

PS, if you do not know the answer, is there anyone else you can refer me to? Thanks again.

Answer
G'day Christine and many thanks for your query

There are many stores online selling Disney related items such as: www.DisneyShopping.com or one of my favorites: http://search.disney.go.com/exec/?q=jewelry

Just take your time and browse.

The other alternative is eBay. You shouldn't have too much difficulty in finding a replacement - and in Silver shouldn't cost a fortune either. Use your favorite search engine and follow each link until you find what you're looking for.

Antique Jewelry is classified as being 100 years old or more (50 years in the States) so a ring like this would be more 'Collectible' than antique.

You might also like to add this query to my blog at http://online-jewelry-appraisals.com/ as other may have had a similar problem. Can't hurt anyway and who knows what answers you may get.

Hope this helps...
