Buying and Selling Vintage Jewellery in Nijmegen

Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands, with a history dating back to the Romans. This layered past is still palpable in the city centre, where Stikke Hezelstraat and Lange Hezelstraat are among the oldest shopping streets in the country. Over the centuries, artisans, goldsmiths, and traders settled in these narrow, historic streets around the Grote Markt — a tradition that continues today in the small, specialised businesses found here.

This guide includes two addresses that well represent the Nijmegen approach: a vintage silver specialist with a treasure trove on Molenstraat, and a goldsmith's workshop on Stikke Hezelstraat that works by appointment on bespoke pieces and repurposing inherited gold. Small in scale, generous in attention.

Molenstraat and Stikke Hezelstraat together form the city's historic artisan alliance. For vintage silver, Molenstraat is the designated address; for bespoke work and repurposing inherited gold, the workshop on Stikke Hezelstraat works by appointment. Expect a thirty to sixty-minute consultation for a serious visit — Nijmegen businesses take their time. You can also reach the city centre within fifteen minutes from Wijchen and Malden. Practical tip: call ahead for opening hours or appointment bookings, and when repurposing gold, bring all components and, if available, family history and original documentation.
