hello and welcome

I’m Eva Schwaighofer, and my love for antiques has been a part of me since childhood. My late father owned a renowned antique shop in the heart of my hometown, and it was there that my fascination for antique jewelry and decorative art began to flourish. The craftsmanship, the thoughtfulness, the history behind each piece—it still captivates me today.

I was fortunate to learn the trade from my father, who always said, "Antiques are history you can touch, and there’s a reason they’ve withstood the test of time." He was right. These treasures have stories to tell and lessons to teach. They remind us of the uniqueness and quality that endure beyond trends.

At BARDOT, we carefully source antique and vintage jewelry, seeking out pieces that embody both beauty and history. Each piece comes with a story, a legacy that’s worth preserving. But more than that, these pieces offer sustainability—no new resources are needed to produce them, making antique jewelry a joyful and responsible choice.

Join us as we fill this space with beautiful history you can touch, treasure, and pass on to future generations. Also, let us know if you are looking for something in particular and we will see what we can do to find the right fit for you.
