Curating the Finest Antique, Vintage & Collectible Treasures

At 9-Lives Resale, we are dedicated to curating distinctive treasures—antique crystal, vintage stemware, and collectible pieces—that speak to both beauty and craftsmanship. Our mission is to offer discerning customers a carefully sourced collection that celebrates timeless design while embracing the art of re-use.

My love for fine crystal began in childhood, inspired by my mom, who taught me to see not just glass, but art—each piece a reflection of craftsmanship, light, and lasting beauty. What began as simple admiration for its sparkle and form grew into a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and heritage behind each object. Through my travels, I discovered how glassmaking reflects the spirit of its time—how a cut, a curve, or a pattern can reveal the culture and traditions from which it came. I became captivated by the idea that these objects tell stories—of the hands that shaped them and the homes they’ve graced.

After three decades in finance, I chose to follow that passion more fully. 9-Lives Resale was born from a desire to share my lifelong love of crystal and collectibles while championing sustainability—offering a hand-curated mix of pre-loved treasures and thoughtfully chosen new pieces, each selected for its artistry, quality, and timeless appeal.

Passion for Timeless Craftsmanship

The craftsmanship of earlier eras reflects a level of artistry and intention rarely seen today. In contrast, much of modern production favors speed and uniformity over soul and substance. Vintage crystal and collectibles were born from a time when makers poured heart, skill, and pride into every detail—when beauty, weight, and durability were inseparable. Each piece was designed not only to adorn a home, but to endure through generations. At 9-Lives Resale, my goal is to honor that legacy—preserving the artistry and integrity of the past while giving these treasures a renewed life, so they may continue to inspire elegance, history, and joy in the homes they grace.
