How should I care for my jewelry? top
Jewelry is fragile and gemstones, though durable substances, should be handled with care. Items should be stores in the boxes we provide to protect them from damage, oxidation and tarnish. Even the hardest gemstone variety can be vulnerable to breakage and even shatter with a single well-placed blow. That said, the best way to care for your jewelry is to wear it!How do I order clip on earrings? top
If the earring description states that clip ons are available, we're happy to make this change for no extra charge. To let us know you want your earrings to be changed please tell us in the MESSAGE area of the shopping cart form when you're checking out. Of course, you may always simply email us to let us know, too.Do you offer discounts? top
Do you publish a catalog? top
No. We do not publish a catalog or brochure. Because our jewelry is handmade and one of a kind, our inventory changes too frequently to publish a catalog. In addition, multiples of any of our jewelry items are not usually available.Do you ship antiques and colletibles outside the US? top
Sorry, no. Our antiques and collectibles are only shipped to addresses within the United States.
Do you provide provenance for antiques and collectibles? top
Since our items come from third party sources, we are not able to provide provenance.
We're well aware that vintage items have lived a prior life and assume you are, too. They may have lived in smoking environments or in homes with pets. They may even have a bit of that musty odor from storage. If we notice anything untoward about an item, we will share that information with you. If you are allergic or sensitive to odors, dust, or dander, vintage just might not be for you.
