July 13th, 2013

YAY!!! GOOD NEWS for fans of vintage jewellery! For those of you who shop or work around Orchard, GDO now has a vintage jewellery counter at Takashimaya Department Store, Level 3!

All the stock here has been specially curated, and loads include hard to find designer pieces such as Trifari, Napier, Givenchy etc. Sourced from the US and Europe, every piece is special, and different from the stuff we stock in Peninsula Shopping Centre.

Do drop by and say hi! We would love to see you and do appreciate your support! Please help spread the word!

Love, GDO!

 

Level 3, Takashimaya Department Store
391 Orchard Road

Say hello to Granny’s Gals at Takashimaya Level 3! We are sandwiched between the two escalators!

Our lovely showcase made of vintage recycled teak wood, custom made to fit! The wood is at least 40 years old, will you believe it? Lovely smooth grain! Old things are the best.

Massive statement pendants for those of you who love a good one!

“Uncle” and “Auntie” – familiar faces at our Peninsula branch – were there to check it out!

Vintage books and jewellery galore!

Loads of beautiful vintage jewellery sourced from the US and Europe.

 Drop dead gorgeous! 1950s-1960s rhinestone earrings with a coral bead in the middle, citrine marquise stones and a tasselled drop.
