Now Open! I am so happy to say that Kim Loves Vintage aka Diamonds and Rust Vintage is open as a Brick and Mortar store since March. I am thrilled to have opened this shop in my hometown of Brooksville, Florida.
Diamonds and Rust is located in a long time local consignment shop Easy Street Home Decor at 100 N. Brooksville Avenue. Since Covid I have been showing at high end Antique shows in Florida, including Venice, Naples, Sarasota, and West Palm Beach. I have also resurrected, organized and held the international vintage jewelry Convention tradition in Providence, Rhode Island via the Rogue Vintage Jewelry Convention
Making the move to a brick and mortar has been a dream come true. I was able to create a shop very close to my inspiration dream shop. It is an ecclectic mix of high end vintage jewelry display cases and modern industrial display with antique paintings and decor.
