Today we’d like to introduce you to Paul Turnberg.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Paul. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I have always been fascinated by vintage jewelry. By 1960 I had quite a large collection, which I decided to put on the market. The best outlet were antique shows. Back then I was part of the group who created the Cyclorama Antique Show and Flea Market in Boston.
A few years later I decided to branch out on my own and opened my own store Turnberg Antiques on Nantucket Island.
About 25 years ago, I established my business in Boston. I chose Charles Street because it was known as Antique Row. I began here with the bulk off my inventory as twentieth century collectables.
Has it been a smooth road?
Now our inventory is focused on Vintage Jewelry, Cufflinks, Hats, and Handbags. We have one of the largest selections of Vintage Jewelry found anywhere but not enough space to display everything.
So one solution is to use our internet store. Now you can visit us from anywhere in the world by going to www.boston-vintagejewelry.com.
On our website is an interactive Google tour, so that you can see the store from your home.
We’d love to hear more about your business.
We are proud to say that we have won awards as The Best of Boston in Boston Magazine and Boston’s Best in The Improper Bostonian and for several years have been featured in many other magazines and international travel guides.
We have an amazing selection of major designers that include Miriam Haskell, Weiss, Dior, YSL, Kenneth J. Lane and many other recognizable names; as well as Bakelite, Coral, Jade etc., and a large selection of Tiaras.
