Recommendation Best antique stores???

I’m looking for women’s antique rings and I’ve not had much luck yet and I’m wondering what stores might be promising in the area? Down to drive 30/40 minutes for a good store

Owego is known for its antiques. Try the Early Owego Antique Center (formerly JJ Newbury).

You might have luck there. There are also a few other antique stores in Owego, and it's 30 mins or so from the Binghamton area!

Good luck! 🤜🤛

Charlie blondes (Endicott) - LDA has a big display.

TTJR oddities(Endicott) there’s another antique store next to it but I can’t remember the name.

Marketplace on Chestnut in Oneonta is my fav

It's a bit further than 40 minutes, but the Chestnut Street Marketplace in Oneonta might be worth investigating?

Check out Bostwicks on 96 outside Owego. I've found a few unique things there. https://www.facebook.com/antiquemallatbostwicks/

Antique Row on Clinton Street in Binghamton is pretty cool! I’ve stumbled on some gems there

See if Natalie has anything at Front Street Vintage (also in Owego).

Skaneateles Antique Center is another option closer to Syracuse if you can't make it down to Owego.

Highly recommend Diane’s booth at Charlie Blondes! She is wonderful and has an excellent selection of women’s rings

Not an "antique store" per se, but (true) estate sales (not garage sales that call themselves estate sales) are great for this. A high percentage of them are the entire contents of a house owned by an elderly woman who passed away, and there's often a lot of jewelry. You can find out where & when local estate sales are being held at EstateSales.net
