We are a mother (Viga) & daughter (Victoria) team i.e. Vi and Vi which makes us VIANVI. We opened our shop VINTAGE JEWELRY SHOWCASE on RUBY LANE, back in 2008. Since then we've serviced customers worldwide, many of whom have become more than customers: they are our friends. You can read some of the many referrals and compliments they have given us on our products and service on our new site at VIANVI.
We have now opened a second shop,VIANVI: ESTATE, CONTEMPORARY & COSTUME JEWELRY at RUBY PLAZA. There, you will find just about everything we carry in our Ruby Lane shop, but there's more! In the new shop, we carry more contemporary fine jewelry, ie.. less than 20 years old, along with designer vintage costume jewelry from designers like SHERMAN, SCHIAPARELLI, HAGLER, CORO, SARAH COVENTRY, D & E (Juliana) and more.
We've moved those costume jewelry items previously in our Ruby Lane shop to our Ruby Plaza shop simply because we can carry many more items there for a lot less cost to us. Besides, we've found our Ruby Lane visitors are really more interested in only fine jewelry, especially estate, vintage and antique. So if you're looking for newer items or designer vintage costume jewelry, visit us now at RUBY PLAZA.
Viga is the source of our designer vintage costume jewelry (Sherman, Schiaparelli, Hagler, Haskell, Weiss etc) but both she and Victoria are focused on fine jewelry ie. diamond and gemstone rings, necklaces, pendants, brooches & bracelets. Victoria specializes in diamond & gemstone rings and also sells loose diamonds and gemstones from her personal website, BUY GENUINE GEMSTONES. (Contact Victoria for further information on her gemstones for your jewelry projects). We also run an information site on diamonds and gemstones HERE.
Both of us are always attending estate sales, auctions, antique shows and other venues in search of beautiful jewelry. We're incorrigible shoppers and can't resist lovely pieces. We're always shopping with our customers in mind and try to find items you won't find elsewhere. So count on us to offer you the unique, the unusual. Join our growing list of happy customers who always tell us we carry the most beautiful, quality items at the most realistic prices.
Viga and Victoria are both regular contributors to the RUBY LANE BLOG
Viga also writes 2 other blogs: THE VINTAGE JEWELRY BLOGGER and for those interested in Sherman jewellery, SHERMAN VINTAGE JEWELRY Blog located at Blogger.
One of the best parts about buying from us is that one of us, if not both, is always around to answer emails or questions about our beautiful jewelry.
We are based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada but have been selling to customers worldwide for months now via auctions, our personal websites and out of our home. We have developed a loyal customer base because of the quality of our jewelry, our customer service, our ability to respond quickly to all inquiries and as one customer has said, our "willingness to go the extra mile" for customer satisfaction.
On our high-end items, we are willing to offer LAY-A-WAY Just contact us and ask! And though we hate to do this, any PAY PAL PAYMENTS subject to small additional fee
If possible, we prefer and encourage our Canadian customers to use INTERAC in preference to PayPal. Please enquire if you are unfamiliar with online INTERAC.
