Is layaway available?

Yes! Please let me know if you are interested in layaway. We can customize a plan best for you. Layaway is not available to sale priced items. Please contact us for details. A cancellation of a layaway must be communicated to the shop. The initial Down Payment on the layaway is nonrefundable.

Can you place an item on hold?

Yes! I will hold an item for 20% down on listing price. Then item must be paid in full within 30 days or item will be relisted and buyer loses down payment unless other arrangements are made.

Do you accept offers?

Unlike most, I will consider/possibly accept reasonable offers.

Do you accept returns?

I accept returns. Please contact me if you have any questions. We stand behind all of our products and will strive to make every customer feel secure and safe with their purchase. Layaway items and a ring that has been sized are unable to be returned. All returns are subject to a 20% nonrefundable stocking fee.

If you need sizing, simply add the "sizing services" listing that fits your specific need. There are two options. Please know sizing generally takes a week. All sizing services include a professional clean and polish complimentary. As well as a thorough ring and gemstone inspection. If any issues are found, they are fixed and/or repaired by the store. If a ring is sized, it cannot be returned.

All of our sizing services and any other services are performed by a jeweler who specializes in antique and vintage jewelry repair and restoration work. When gold is added to an antique ring we use it from scrap rings of the same gold content from a similar time period to ensure a perfect match and keep each piece as authentic as possible. Before and after service the ring is thoroughly inspected for any issues. If any are found, they are promptly taken care of and/or fixed by the store.

What is the difference between a natural and lab grown stone?

Briefly, I will go over this because some buyers have had confusion on the difference between gem stone types. Many pieces of antique and vintage jewelry are made of a variety of gem types that offer a wide range of price points. If you are ever "unsure" please msg us for details. A natural gemstone is one found and created in nature. They will have naturally formed inclusions within the stone with a variety of appearances. Though grown in the lab, these precious gemstones have the exact chemical composition of the same gemstone that is created in mother nature. They will test exactly the same with extensive testing needed for lab grown criteria. Beware as many stones are labeled as a "lab" stone and are in fact synthetic stones.

What is a genuine gemstone? Are these natural or synthetic?

Briefly, we will discuss some basic gem differences as some customers have had confusion on the difference in gemstones. If you are ever "unsure", please msg us for clarification. A genuine gemstone is one that has been removed from nature with some human interface. Treatment is used mainly to enhance a gemstones cut, color or appearance. They can be in forms or doublets, triplets, enhanced, and treated to name a few. They will test with the same or similar composition but will look very different under the various microscopes. Rubies and Emeralds are commonly treated with fillers, injection and various forms of heat to intensify color and enhance clarity. This is done routinely and we do not specify the treated as this is known.

What is a synthetic gemstone?

Simulated gemstones are also referred to in jewelry as "faux", "lab", "paste" to name a few. If you are ever "unsure" and need clarification please msg us for details. A simulant is intended to “look like” another gemstone, but its chemical composition or "make-up" is not the same. Simulants aren’t always intended to deceive or "trick" they are also used as an option for a more ethical sourced stone or if someone wants a flawless stone at an affordable price. Many are selling these breathtaking simulated pieces in a variety of jewelry from rings to necklaces! These can range from $50 to well over $1,000. As technology advanced and women began to make their own money, these were often utilized to make jewelry affordable!

What is antique and vintage jewelry?

Basically, antique jewelry refers to pieces made over 100 years ago while vintage jewelry is referred to as something made 20 years ago. Many use these terms loosely and I have even seen 50 year old pieces referred to as "antique". We always suggest asking questions and knowing what you are looking at or wanting to purchase. We invite questions for anyone who is struggling or needs clarification.

Most all rings can be sized! Silver, gold fill and gold gilt included. Simply add "sizing services" to your cart at checkout. If you are unsure, please inquire about your ring.

All gemstone weights are approximate. Most stones are mounted when inspected and we do not dismount the gemstone in order to preserve the item in it's original state.

Old cut gemstones may have a carat weight higher or lower than the visual appearance when compared to a similar carat weight of a modern cut stone. This is due to having open cutlets, high crowns and flat cut gemstones that are common in vintage and antique pieces.

Please note: This is an antique or vintage item. Obviously it is from a previous owner and has been used or worn. Buyers should expect that item will likely show signs of use, common aging or wear unless marked as "mint".

Feel free to contact me for any additional information.
