About Us/ Jewelry Care

1929 Galore was born in 2009 from a deep love for jewelry and family. The name itself is a tribute to sisterhood—blending the birthdates of two sisters. The 19th belongs to the designer’s sister, and the 29th to TeQuia, the creative behind the brand.

Growing up in a tight-knit family, jewelry was more than just an accessory—it was a connection to the past, a symbol of self-expression, and a way to carry memories. TeQuia’s love for all things jewelry started young, playing in her grandmother’s jewelry boxes and admiring her mother’s Iconic Bamboo Hoops. That passion turned into 1929 Galore, a space where timeless style meets personal storytelling.

Here, you’ll find a carefully curated mix of handmade, vintage, fine, and costume jewelry—pieces designed to move with you through every season of life. More than just a brand, 1929 Galore is a community of jewelry lovers who appreciate the beauty of both new and vintage styles, just like TeQuia always has.

 

Jewelry Care

  • To ensure the longevity of your piece we recommend removing all jewelry before swimming or showering. If you happen to wet a piece dry it off immediately.
  • Please keep from exposing your jewelry to perfumes and oils as this may cause them to tarnish easily.
  • Keep all jewelry stored in cases, boxes or storage pouches. The less exposure to dust the better.

*All fine jewelry is ok for water and moisture exposure it should just be cleaned regularly with Jewelry cleaner to restore its shine*

 

Our Jewelry Material

  • Gold tone- refers to a piece that is made of a base metal. It has no gold content (not plated) but has a finish that appears gold
  • Gold plated- pieces made of a base metal with a VERY thin layer of gold applied to the top.
  • Gold-filled- NOT real gold, it is plated or bonded gold layer to a base metal or brass that has a small amount of real gold in it. This is what makes gold-filled jewelry last longer than gold tone or gold-plated jewelry. The use of gold filling makes it more durable and longer lasting than a traditional gold plated piece.
  • 10k Gold, 14K Gold, 18k Gold is REAL GOLD JEWELRY. 10k is more affordable because it has a lower gold content than any other karat.
  • Stainless Steel is a metal comprised of Molybdenum and nickel which makes it last longer and helps with its resistant to water. This metal is not recommended for those with allergies to nickel. All of our stainless steel pieces are stated in the descriptions as well as the caution to those with allergies. If you get stainless steel jewelry wet be sure to towel dry after to increase the longevity of your piece.
