Yesterday’s accessories for today’s world
We resell, repurpose, re-use, repair or recycle old vintage and antique items, especially costume jewellery . Where possible - we clean and/or repair an item for resale. If it cannot be repaired sympathetically, we repurpose the item. Our vintage beads are reused to make alternative decorative items for wear and home décor.
All of our items are guaranteed to be original vintage material, some may even be antique. Our bespoke handcrafted items are upcycled from vintage pieces, thus being utterly unique and one-off items.
Brooches are repaired so the paste stones will look as authentic as possible and by using vintage stones whenever available. some necklaces are re-strung, repaired and have their clasps replaced by us, in order to make them look as original as possible. We re purpose irrepairable brooches into fridge magnets - these are available at our craft fair stalls.
Due to the nature of our activity, all the items still show their original patina and signs of being pre-worn and pre-loved. all items are used and have been "rescued" instead of being thrown away.
We try, where possible to re-use our packaging too. Whilst the postal wrapping may not look very pretty, they are recycled and we try to do this as much as we can - we promise that the item inside the packaging is much much prettier
As all of our items have been "rescued" from houses, shops, auctions etc. they are used and not new unless stated otherwise in the description. they may show signs of being pre-loved, pre worn but we think this gives them a unique story and shows that you have great taste.
Here at Renaissance Rescue, we believe just because something no longer fits the home colour scheme, is broken or no longer fit for its original purpose - doesn't mean it should just go in the bin and so our upcycled range suits todays colours and modern living.
Our bespoke items are all handcrafted and original "one-offs". The range of them is limited and they are unavailable elsewhere. We have key finders, light catchers, pomanders, bangle dangles and snowflakes, Sun catchers, bead kits, fridge magnets and vintage china jewellery and all individually made and utterly unique.

Founded in 2021 as a result of job loss in the Covid pandemic. Given a few bits of jewellery & a few brooches, sold them on Ebay to help pay the bills - made a few decorative items with the beads that couldn't be saved. Watched a few tv programmes & discovered how long jewellery can stay in the environment in landfill sites & discarded into our seas and rivers. Deeply horrified, vowed to mend as much as I could or repurpose rather than discard items - mended a few more jewellery pieces - sold those too. Had a lightbulb moment and decided change our practices, think about our fashion impact and help others to do the same and maybe make a difference to our planet, however inconsequential as an individual but if we all join in - what a difference we could make right away.
At Renaissance Rescue, we take pride in trying to reuse, repair, repurpose or recycle. Saving as much as possible entering landfill. Our team tries to save as much as possible from a jewellery item. We sterilise, and repair items, where possible. We replace (& recycle the broken) findings and we recycle the wire from necklaces, that cannot be repaired. We replace the clasps with a sympathic alternative, we salvage crystal paste stones to be replaced into brooches and buckles. Any beads, pendants and other broken jewellery pieces are repurposed into decorative house and garden items.
We offer a wide range of hand crafted items. We have a great range of Mindfulness Aids, designed to lower anxiety. including keyrings, mobile phone straps, glasses strings and ball point pens. We have a huge range of fridge magnets made from repurposed jewellery. A stunning bespoke range of vintage China plate and victorian glass chain pendants and necklace an vintage china and glass and we create beautiful decorative pieces for the garden. all our items are naturally brakone and so each piece is unique. We don't break it to make it.
Saving broken vintage jewellery from Landfill by refurbishing for resale if we can, or recycling and repurposing it for a new life in our modern homes and lives. Please check out the Portfolio section for our bespoke collection.
