Even with the best website design it often isn’t practical to show every single item in a collection on any subject, once the size of that collection passes a certain point, but this is where services like Instagram come in. With the ability to post an entire portfolio of images, suddenly showcasing your best work is easy and it’s no different for designers, collectors and sellers of jewelry.
Here, we show you our top 15 Instagram vintage jewelry accounts.
