Where to Shop for Vintage Jewelry in New York City
Vintage jewelry brings the spice to any outfit recipe, allowing you to shapeshift into new personalities and speak volumes without saying a word. The effect of a chunky gold costume jewelry necklace or a Victorian cocktail ring is transformative—drawing the eye of curious magpies and average onlookers to tell a story as unique as a gemstone or antique setting itself.
With gold values reaching historic heights, more people than ever before are shopping for vintage fine jewelry for the first time in an effort to get in on the investment aspect. Along with that, a new generation is discovering the classic magic of affordable vintage costume jewelry and just how conducive it is to developing personal style.
Almost anyone would agree that vintage handbags and clothing are the bread and butter of any great tastemaker's wardrobe in today's world. But the power of vintage jewelry is that you're unlikely to run into any other individual wearing even remotely the exact same thing. Case in point: last night at a dinner, myself and another guest were both wearing nearly the same dress, but in different colorways, from Junya Watanabe's iconic spring 2003 collection. It happens enough in the world of fashion, but I've never run into anyone with the same vintage jewelry—yet.
Here, a selection of some of the best places to shop for vintage and antique jewelry in New York.

Gwyneth Paltrow Gets Real About Disliking Being On Social Media As A Famous Person: 'I'm Like An Old Lady'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If nothing else, you can, seemingly always, say that actress Gwyneth Paltrow is honest. The proud vagina candle maven has been known to open up about everything from hiding in her parents house after winning her Oscar at 26, to living with ex Chris Martin after they split and how hard it is to be an empty-nester. Now the Marvel star is opening up about being 'an old lady' when it comes to social media. While it's not impossible to be famous today and stay off social media (or at least not put your whole life online), it's not something that's done on a regular basis. In fact, most people, whether they're celebrities or not, use social media regularly, but the pressure to show every aspect of one's life must certainly be greater the more well known a person is. During an episode of The Goop Podcast where Gwyneth Paltrow spoke with actress Kerry Washington, the welcoming lifestyle company founder spoke about her feelings on social media, and admitted that some of her reticence likely has to do with age. As she said: There's a part of it I think that just is like a pre-Internet kid. I always wrestle a little bit with, 'Why are we having to put everything on social media? We just met with our video team. I'm always like, 'Chase, I don't want to be on Instagram!' You know? OMG. Gwynnie! I don't want to be on Instagram, either! But I am, because it's just what people do now. Of course, no one is expecting me to share literally everything I do during the day, so I'm totally free to sit back, follow a bunch of other folks and enjoy the view. When fans see Paltrow on social media, well, they want her to share things. Several stars have spoken about the immense pressure that can come from being online and opening your life up to fans. It has, in fact, caused a number of them to at least take breaks from it. Recently, A Complete Unknown star and Oscar nominee Monica Barbaro admitted that she's deleted her social media several times, and had to do it while filming that movie and again as positive reactions came in. Other famous folk have talked about doing the same social media 'detox' for a while, with Only Murders in the Building lead Selena Gomez calling the process 'the most rewarding gift.' This is likely because, as Home Town host Erin Napier once noted, regardless of what you post, the comments can be 'really rude.' While that can certainly harm one's mental health, however, the potential positives tend to outweigh some of the negatives for Paltrow, and that's exactly why she continues to use it. As she added: And yet, especially around the topic of mental health, or anything really that's heavily stigmatized, social media is this way to destigmatize. ... [like] wait, this is how you change culture and the tools right now are social media. So even though I'm like an old lady trying to get with the times of how this works... [I try to] get comfortable with it. And, lucky for us, she has gotten 'comfortable' with it and continues to share with fans on a regular basis.

Fashion's worst-kept secret is out: Dior announces its new creative director
It began with a cryptic post on Instagram. In December 2024, Jonathan Anderson shared a photo of his shadow reflected onto a sandy beach at dusk, with the caption 'sunset'. Was it an allusion to new beginnings, per the idiom 'riding off into the sunset,' many in the fashion world began to wonder? Or was it nothing more than an innocuous holiday snap? What's now clear is that it wasn't the latter. On June 2, Anderson has been named as the new creative director at Dior, overseeing womenswear, menswear and haute couture. In an emailed statement, Anderson described the appointment as 'a great honor.' He said: 'I have always been inspired by the rich history of this House, its depth, and empathy. I look forward to working alongside its legendary Ateliers to craft the next chapter of this incredible story.' The Northern Irish fashion designer, 40, had been tipped for the top job at the LVMH-owned Dior since announcing his departure in March 2025 from the group's smaller label Loewe (where he was creative director for over a decade). A month later, LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault revealed during a shareholder meeting that Anderson would be designing Dior's men's collection, to be shown in June. Today's news follows the departure of Maria Grazia Chiuri, who stepped down as Dior's womenswear artistic director in late May after nine years, and Kim Jones, who exited his role as artistic director of Dior Men in January, after seven years. (Anderson's appointment at Dior brings the two roles together under his purview. The world's biggest luxury group with a market value of about $270 billion, LVMH owns 75 brands ranging from hotel chains to makeup, but Louis Vuitton — whose sales surpassed €22.8 billion in 2023 — and Dior are among the two largest contributors to profits. Though LVMH doesn't typically break down sales and profit figures for each of its labels, analysts have warned of the challenges facing Dior — a 'problem child' is how investment banking firm Morgan Stanley described it, noting that the business could benefit from more innovation — and the wider luxury sector, which is grappling with some of its slowest growth in years. Anderson's arrival at Dior could bring change. 'I have followed his career with great interest since he joined the LVMH group over ten years ago,' said Delphine Arnault, chairman and CEO of Christian Dior Couture, in a statement. 'I am convinced that he will bring a creative and modern vision to our House, inspired by the fabulous story of Monsieur Dior and the codes he created. He will be supported by our teams and our incredible Ateliers who will bring his creativity to life.' 'Jonathan Anderson is one of the greatest creative talents of his generation. His incomparable artistic signature will be a crucial asset in writing the next chapter of the history of the House of Dior,' added LVMH chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault. Anderson is among a new generation of high-profile designers taking over some of the world's biggest luxury brands amid a sweeping industry overhaul. In May, French luxury group Kering named former Valentino designer Pierpaolo Piccioli as creative director at Balenciaga, succeeding Demna who is taking up the chief design job at the group's top label Gucci. Designer changes have also recently taken place at Chanel, Versace, Bottega Veneta and LVMH-owned Celine among others. Anderson is credited with boosting the profile of Loewe during his tenure at the Spanish label, where he won over celebrities and fashion insiders with his playful, quirky designs. Hits from Anderson include an over-the-shoulder Puzzle handbag (a small version sells for $3,850) and surreal styles like a clutch shaped as a pigeon or tomato, and shoes that substitute the heel with nail polish bottles, roses and cracked eggs. At Loewe, Anderson also built a cultural cache beyond fashion: He drew an eclectic mix of artists worldwide into the annual Loewe craft prize competition, and famously restyled James Bond actor Daniel Craig and the late British actress, Dame Maggie Smith in wholesome sweaters and luxurious coats, respectively, for a buzzy campaign. In 2024, the designer made further inroads into film, designing the costumes for Luca Guadagnino's films 'Queer' and 'Challengers.' On receiving an honorary Doctor of Arts from the University for the Creative Arts in the UK last July, Anderson offered some advice for the graduating class of 2024: 'Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. Steal, adapt, borrow. It doesn't matter where one takes things from. It's where one takes them to.' (Ironically, the speech paraphrased quotes by film directors Jim Jarmusch and Jean-Luc Godard once made, and was an adaptation of the famous Pablo Picasso quote 'good artists copy, great artists steal,' which was later lifted by Steve Jobs.) 'Discover old films, new films, history books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, whatever,' Anderson continued. 'Only steal from things that speak directly to you. If you do this, your work will be authentic.'

David E. Kelley says new ending for ‘Presumed Innocent' on Apple TV+ ‘wasn't mandatory'
David E. Kelley adapted Scott Turow's bestseller Presumed Innocent as an eight-episode series for Apple TV+ last year. Between the book and the 1990 movie adaptation, the original revelation of the murderer might no longer be a surprise. So, Kelley chose a different character to be the killer in his season finale. 'It wasn't mandatory,' Kelley told Gold Derby on the red carpet at Apple TV+'s FYC space at the Hollywood Athletic Club. 'I was open to the idea that it could still be the same killer but we kind of let the story speak to us. As it was unfolding, we settled on the route we took.' More from GoldDerby Sharon Horgan, Anne-Marie Duff, Fiona Shaw, and every 'Bad Sisters' Emmy acting submission How David Bowie inspired Eddie Redmayne's 'Day of the Jackal' transformations D'Arcy Carden on her 'dream come true' joining 'The Handmaid's Tale' and Phoebe's 'different Aunt energy' Jake Gyllenhaal plays Rusty Sabich, a lawyer accused of slaying his colleague, Caroline Polhemus (Renate Reinsve), with whom he was having an affair. Rusty's nemesis, Tommy Molto (Peter Sarsgaard), prosecutes Rusty despite a clear conflict of interest. Though the killer is only revealed to Rusty's family, Sarsgaard suspects the ending still validates Tommy's suspicions. Apple TV+ 'I think Tommy always knew who was involved and he was correct about that,' Sarsgaard said, without giving away the spoiler. 'He wasn't incorrect [about] the person he suspected who was covering something.' Now that all eight episodes are available to stream, it's well-known the show ends differently. Other updates Kelley made to Turow's 1987 debut novel included combining characters and incorporating 2024 elements like DNA evidence and cellphone technology. 'I think what was more important is that we declared ourselves out of the gate that we were going to take departures from the underlying material,' Kelley said. 'So at least the viewer would not feel comfortable that they knew the outcome.' Bill Camp plays Rusty's lawyer, Raymond Horgan, who is so troubled by the case that he has nightmares about Rusty committing the murder. Though Raymond is unaware of the final revelation, Camp said the damage is done regardless of who did it. 'I think he'd find it heartbreaking,' Camp said. 'The darkness that everyone's living in now, not knowing who that murderer is except for that family, I think it would be heartbreaking for everyone to find out.' Finding out the new identity of the killer in Episode 8 reminded Sarsgaard of another mystery show he appeared in. In Season 3 of The Killing, Sarsgaard recalled his costar being devastated to find out he was the killer. This moment drove home for Sarsgaard the nature of episodic television with ongoing writers' rooms. 'We got the final episode, he came up to my trailer really upset,' Sarsgaard said. 'He said, 'Oh, it's me. I'm the killer.' I thought, 'F--k.' Movies is just all preparation from the beginning.' Apple TV+ Kelley acknowledged that he was asking a lot of his lead actor. Viewers would judge Rusty for cheating on his wife, Barbara (Ruth Negga), and possibly suspect him of murder — yet he remains the protagonist of the series. 'He had a heavy lift in this series,' Kelley said of Gyllenhaal. 'A writer can put that on the page all he wants but it's up to the actor to inhabit those qualities to make the audience care. So I think viewers were condemning Rusty on a lot of fronts but rooting for him just the same.' Episodic directors said the series benefited from Gyllenhaal and Sarsgaard's real-life relationship. They are brothers-in-law, as Sarsgaard is married to Jake's sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal. Greg Yaitanes directed Episodes 3-7, culminating in the scene where Tommy cross-examines Rusty. 'They can practice,' Yaitanes said. 'They were roommates as well so they were staying with each other so they just worked at that scene. There was this added intangible benefit of their trust and closeness that they got into every scene.' Anne Sewitsky directed the first two episodes and the final one. She also benefited from Sarsgaard and Gyllenhaal's familial friendship in her episodes. 'There was kind of a shortcut or shorthand into the way we played with those scenes,' Sewitsky said. 'They like to throw things around. I love that so we were doing a lot of improv and we were adding a lot of stuff.'
