In order to expedite our listing process and minimize mistakes we use photography to show our items' details and we include item specifics in the listing photos. Please review all photographs for details on item specifics like size and weight. Hallmarks, ring sizes, gram weight, chain length, pendant length, etc. will be shown in photos.
If you require additional photos please do not hesitate to ask! I am always happy to provide more information on the items I proudly sell! Please read below for some commonly asked questions about our Vintage Sterling Silver and Gold jewelry collection.



Ring Listings:

It is sometimes difficult to determine how a ring will fit without being able to try it on. I always recommend taking your favorite ring to a local jeweler and comparing the way that it sits on a mandrel (ring sizer) with the pictures in the listings prior to purchase. Sometimes wide band rings fit a little differently and I always want my customers to be 100% happy with their purchases! Please let me know if I can help by offering more pictures for size comparison.
Note: all ring mandrels are not made equally so we do our best to provide an accurate demonstration of fit, but are always happy to also provide mm measurements if you are looking for an exact size.

Vintage Style:
In order to preserve the original vintage or antique integrity of my jewelry and collectible items, I do not polish them. Most items can be polished by a professional jeweler in order to achieve a brilliant shine, but many customers prefer the original luster of an unpolished piece. 

*Example: Most jewelers charge between $5-25 for Clean & Polish of a vintage sterling silver ring, but some will offer this as a complimentary service to customers.

My cleaning process is simply using warm water and liquid dish soap to disinfect.





To Reserve an item:

I offer reserves! If you are interested in an item and would like me to hold it for you for purchase at a later date, please feel free to send a message and let me know. I am happy to hold items for one week.

Shipping:
Most items will arrive carefully packed in a fitting jewelry box, wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a box or mailer. Please reach out directly with specific packaging requests.

Gemstones:

Based on our viewing of the gemstones listed in any item, under 10X magnification, and in comparing the color of the gemstones to what is typical in the respective gemstone identification mentioned in the listing, we were confident in our assessment of the piece as having natural stones. Unfortunately, given the price point of Sterling Silver vintage jewelry, we do not provide GIA gem identification reports with our items since they are quite costly, but we do use a Presidium gem tester to double check our assessment as well so that our customers can feel confident buying from us. We always do our best to accurately identify our pieces!




JADE ITEMS:
As the nature of testing Jade is a potentially damaging one, a scratch test, we have priced this item based on the value in its design rather than that of any perceived value in the gemstone as it may very well be a manmade Jade rather than one created in nature.

PEARL ITEMS:
As the nature of testing Pearl is a potentially damaging one, a scratch test, we have priced this item based on the value in its design rather than that of any perceived value in the gemstone as it may very well be a manmade Pearl rather than one created in nature.
