Today’s episode is with Olivia, the founder and head treasure hunter of Hudson & King Jewelry - a vintage costume and fine jewelry brand based in Westchester, New York. 

Olivia started collecting vintage jewelry at a young age while attending flea markets and antique shows with her parents in New York's Hudson Valley. 

In today’s episode, we talk about Olivia’s journey to working in fine jewelry and starting her own vintage brand with an emphasis on jewelry from the 1900's-1990's. I learned a lot about vintage jewelry – from sourcing to saving treasured pieces and giving them a new life – on today’s show with Olivia.
