Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our inventory, policies, and services.
Are all sales final?
Yes. Because our inventory consists of vintage, pre-owned, archival, and one-of-a-kind pieces, all sales are final. Please review all photos, measurements, and condition notes carefully before purchasing.
How do I know the condition of an item?
Every listing includes detailed condition notes, measurements, and multiple photographs. We describe all visible wear, flaws, or patina honestly. If you have additional questions about a specific item, please contact us before purchasing.
Can I request more photos or information?
Absolutely. We encourage questions prior to purchase. Use the Contact page to reach us and we will do our best to provide additional detail.
How are items shipped?
Orders are typically shipped within 1–3 business days. Tracking information will be provided when available. U.S. shipping is a flat $7.95 on orders under $75, and free on orders of $75 and over.
Do you ship internationally?
International shipping availability may vary by item. Please contact us before purchasing if you are located outside the United States.
How are items authenticated?
Items are researched and authenticated through hands-on curation, hallmark research, provenance documentation, and years of collector experience. Signed pieces are noted when verified.
What does "Unsigned" mean?
"Unsigned" means the piece does not carry a visible designer hallmark or signature. It does not necessarily indicate lesser quality — many exceptional vintage pieces were produced without a maker's mark.
Do you offer consignment or sourcing services?
Yes. We offer jewelry evaluation, authentication research, 24K gold plating, consignment, vintage sourcing, and collector consulting. Visit the Services page or contact us directly for more information.
