Tarnished NZ

Tarnished NZ We are officially rebranding to TarnishedNZ! Why? It's been a journey of exploring after a head injury. My passion is still vintage and has led me to jewellery.

We will not follow trends but more quality treasures. Designers, Vintage & Boho. Curator is about beauty of New or Antique items. We believe there are so many beautiful items out there that are discarded when they could so easily be used in our everyday lives to give pleasure and trigger our memories. Our imaginations is where our products will come from. Local home-made items and artwork from loc

al artists who fit with the concept of Curator. I myself have worked in the business sector for many years and am now looking forward to having Curator to allow my passion for beautiful items free. I left the UK over 18 years ago and have been part of building a few successful businesses, and proud to now be a citizen of NZ. After suffering a breakdown from stress last year I decided it was time for a lifestyle change and follow a dream. Over the years I have renovated houses, in what some would say my own unique taste in decor - friends and family always told me I have a unique taste that seems to work. So my passion is no longer going to be my work - no longer the focus is sitting behind a desk, but sharing my eclectic idea's and pieces with others. Over the coming years I hope to travel around NZ and the World which is now possible again and finding treasures that are as quirky as me. I hope you enjoy my collection.

✨ Fresh Find ✨
There is something incredibly romantic about antique banner brooches, and this piece is no exception. 🎀 Featuring an elegant scrolled ribbon backdrop, it’s adorned with a gorgeous raised floral spray, a dainty central pearl accent, and a delicate dangling bud.
Swipe to see the stunning details:
The intricate texturing on the leaves and dotted borders.
The classic, secure old-style C-clasp on the reverse.
A sense of its beautiful 6cm scale.
This piece has no visible hallmarks but has been acid-tested to confirm it sits between .800 and .925 sterling silver, giving it that perfect, authentic weight and aged patina.
It is officially headed to our Trade Me store! Drop a comment if you'd like the direct link to bid or buy now. 👇🔗https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/antiques-collectables/jewellery/brooches/listing/5971706109
