THE FINE PRINT - PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING
Any accessories or jewelry boxes shown in images are for display only and are not included unless explicitly stated in the listing.

Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery. Please note: all orders will be fully refunded minus original shipping costs. Items must be returned in original condition. Buyers are responsible for insured return shipping with signature confirmation. Items that have been resized, altered, or repaired after purchase are not eligible for return.

All stone settings are professionally checked to ensure that stones are secure. Antique and vintage jewelry is sold as-is and reflects its age and history, including signs of wear that contribute to its character and uniqueness. These pieces are rarely pristine, and some may be more delicate than modern jewelry, so care should be taken when wearing them.

Every effort is made to provide clear, accurate descriptions, and any notable wear or condition issues are disclosed in the listing. Minor surface marks, light scratches to the metal, and gentle surface wear or small nicks to stones are consistent with age and should be expected. Signs of normal age-appropriate wear are not considered defects.

Please also note that the color of antique and vintage gold can vary. Yellow gold may range from bright to pale and may appear slightly warmer or more rosy than modern alloys. While we do our best to describe color accurately, appearance may vary depending on lighting and surrounding jewelry.

Ring sizes are measured using standard jewelry sizing tools and listed as approximate US sizes. Variations in fit are normal due to band width, profile, and individual wear preference, particularly with vintage and antique pieces. Please review all measurements carefully prior to purchase, and feel free to reach out with any questions about fit.

Orders are shipped Mondays through Fridays. All items are sent with signature confirmation. If delivery is missed, buyers are responsible for arranging redelivery or pickup with the carrier. Items that are unclaimed and returned to the seller are not eligible for a refund.
