Buying and selling vintage jewellery in Amsterdam

Amsterdam has been a trading city for precious metals and gemstones for centuries — from the Portuguese-Jewish diamond dealers in the seventeenth century to the polishing workshops on the Weesperzijde, and from the art deco jewellers around Leidseplein to the vintage trade that established itself in the Negen Straatjes from the 1980s. Those looking for vintage jewellery here can choose between specialised antique dealers in the Nieuwe Spiegelstraat, small workshops in the Jordaan, and jewellers around the Gasthuismolensteeg who specialise in period pieces.

This guide compiles businesses that seriously deal with vintage — with their own selection, expertise, and (where possible) their own repair workshop. Our own shop is listed first and is marked as such.

Vintage sieraden kopen in Amsterdam

The Nieuwe Spiegelstraat and the adjacent Spiegelgracht — together forming the Spiegelbuurt — have been the antique heart of the city for decades, with vintage jewellers alongside antique dealers for furniture and silver. A little further on, in the Negen Straatjes between Gasthuismolensteeg and Wolvenstraat, there is a second cluster: smaller businesses that focus more on vintage rings and signed pieces. For antique rings, a short detour to Staalstraat towards Waterlooplein is also worthwhile. From Amstelveen, Diemen, and Zaandam, you can reach the Spiegelbuurt within twenty minutes by metro or train. Practical advice: always try on items on the spot (vintage sizes visibly differ from modern ones), ask about the return policy before you buy, and for stones, explicitly ask for a stone certificate or appraisal report if the amount warrants it.

If you want to sell jewellery in Amsterdam, the businesses below with the 'Inkoop' tag are a logical starting point. For valuable pieces, it always pays to compare two or three parties; differences between the initial offer and the best offer of several tens of percent are not uncommon. Bring identification — a valid ID is legally required for the purchase of gold, silver, and jewellery. An initial estimate based on photos provides peace of mind during the discussion and prevents you from being guided by a single appraisal.
