When an item says NOS that stands for New Old Stock and it is vintage that has never been used. It is old inventory from jewelry stores that went out of business years ago. Much of the jewelry I sell is of this type and many times I have multiples of an item. Some of the jewelry I sell is gently used. If it is New Old Stock I will mention this in the description and title.

In most cases yes. I wash everything wherever possible. It is important to me to sell clean items that you can wear and enjoy upon receiving or give as a gift. Occasionally if the item is too delicate or it would be cost prohibitive to have it dry cleaned I will not have it cleaned and I will mention this in the description.

I do not do reserves. I work on a first come first serve basis. Whoever pays first gets the item. This is the easiest and most fair way to run my business. Thank you for your understanding.

Yes, all items are sent by registered mail with a tracking number.
