Our vintage collection of jewels and accessories are handpicked on our travels.
They are chosen for their rarity, beauty and offer a unique choice for those who love fashion forward accessories.
Our designs are inspired by ancient Roman jewels, classical myths and our love of art.
Each Olympia jewel is lovingly handmade using antique jewellery making techniques in the finest metals and gems, making each pair special and unique.
A decadent collection of fine vintage gems from a bygone era, this very special curation of sustainably sourced, rare heirloom pieces - many of which are the only of their kind in existence - includes treasures from a variety of eras spanning Georgian, Art Deco, Rococo and more.
Each piece is crafted in solid gold or platinum, set with precious diamonds, emeralds, opals, sapphires, and other fine stones.
This week, our founder and creative director Constance von Dadelszen enjoyed a Q&A thanks to our friends at DENIZEN magazine to talk about a few of her favourite objects, places, designs and new discoveries.

Constance, above, wears a pair of 1970s Vintage Crawler Earrings, now sold, but click here for a pair of 1980s Christian Lacroix stunners with equal amount of sparkle.
My personal style can be defined as:
Timeless with a contemporary twist.
The last thing I bought and loved was:
A 10ft palm tree for our entranceway.
An unforgettable place I visited was:
We stayed at our wedding venue, Villa Le Fontanelle, in Florence during January. It was wonderful to be back at a place that had so many wonderful memories for us.

The next place I'd like to go to:
I won’t be going anytime soon with a baby on the way but I’d love to stay at one of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust eco-lodges in Kenya. We sponsor a few of their elephant and rhino orphans via Love and Object and I’d probably cry with joy seeing them in real life.
Fringed with doum palms and overlooking the Yatta Plateau, Sheldrick Trusts' Galdessa Little offers a luxurious and once in a lifetime opportunity for travellers seeking to immerse themselves in a hidden and untouched corner of Tsavo National Park.
