In the late 1990’s R.F. Moeller Jeweler, a locally owned jewelry store in Saint Paul, Minnesota, registered AntiqueJewelry.com. Ideas were tossed around for a way to use the website but the timing never seemed right, so AntiqueJewelry.com sat high up on a virtual shelf collecting dust.
Fast forward 20 plus years to 2015. Online shopping is the new normal, but shopping for jewelry online often means sacrificing the personal experience you need and are used to with a trip to the local jewelry store. And so R.F. Moeller Jeweler retrieved AntiqueJewelry.com from its dusty shelf and helped to start Atique, where the unique experience of shopping online could be reinvented on AntiqueJewelry.com.
Starting in the winter of 2016 Atique will marry a new online experience with the craftsmanship and history of professionally-curated antique and vintage jewelry. At Atique, you'll be able to inspect each piece of jewelry, ask questions about a ring you’ve in love with, and learn about how each piece of jewelry was crafted. Best of all, when you bring home a piece of jewelry from Atique, you'll breathe new life into a unique piece of history.
While you're waiting for Atique to officially launch, take a look at our blog. We've got lots of enjoyable and easy to read posts about getting engaged and the history of antique jewelry.
