Any layaway defaults will forfeit prior payments and any item bought on layaway is non-refundable. A layaway default will occur if the item has not been paid in full within a three month timeframe from initial deposit. Please be responsible and contact me when you are ready to make a payment. If no payment has been made and I am unable to reach you the item will be put back in my inventory to be sold. Any prior payments are forfeited at that time. I will reserve any listing with at least a 25% deposit of the total purchase price.

A word about packaging...your new purchase will be securely shipped in a fun, vintage recycled jewelry box. I love these boxes for their old cotton filling, much nicer than the poly batting used in most boxes today. I will also gift wrap in a custom new box for a small fee. I try to include older cotton fill in these too, so much nicer! I will do what I can to avoid adding more trash to the landfill. My hope is that either way, you love the box your item came in and you wish to store your new treasure there, or you find a new purpose for the old box.

All orders are shipped USPS and tracking is provided. I use flat rate shipping boxes provided by USPS to ship $100+ items. These are shipped priority 1-3 delivery and come with insurance as well. Additional Insurance and signature confirmation is available and can be purchased for an additional fee. Orders under $100 will ship First Class, insurance can be added. Lost or damaged items can have files claimed with USPS. I can help you to initiate a claim. However per Etsy policy once an item shows as delivered it is no longer the seller's responsibility.

I am working on finding a skilled jeweler that I can bring my pieces to so in the meantime all ring re-sizing will need to be done by your local jeweler. Any jewelry that has been altered cannot be returned.

I am very transparent in my listing descriptions and include all of the information you will need to make an informed purchasing decision therefore I do not accept returns, remorse or otherwise. However if there is an unexpected problem with the item please feel free to contact me. Sale and Layaway items are always Final Sale. Due to the risk, lost time and cost of shipping items back and forth, I am also not able to accommodate returns for the buyer looking to just try a piece on and send it back, so please double check the measurements in the listing for size/scale and reach out with any additional questions you may have. (Some of my buyers measure and create a paper template to hold against their hand. : )

All items that were purchased on sale are considered as is and therefore are not refundable. This includes items that have been discounted due to an agreement with the buyer.

This stunning antique enamel and 14K gold female in profile pendant was made by a process called plique a jour which means that the enamel is see through and catches the light in a most pleasing way. Her hair wraps around to create the negative spaces in which the artist applied the enamel. She is detailed and spectacular.

This piece is an original Art Nouveau piece circa 1890's -1910. It was used by a jeweler to create other pieces that he then sold. There is even some very nominal residual material that is folded into a few spots...the patina is as found and I have not attempted to clean it. Enamel is stable and consists of two colors, as seen. Hallmarked on the back, 14K and unidentified makers mark, beautiful original piece.
