►Most important◄ Double check your profile address is correct! The software limits us on your street address to only 35 characters.
►Remember all pieces are vintage, so the condition grade is a Vintage Grade. They could and probably will show age / wear; minor scratches, yellowing, darkening, rhinestone cloudiness, rounded corner / edges, minor chipping, pealing / flaking of metal, replaced earring backs, or repairs. We try to list anything minor that will detract from the intended design while being worn and of course anything major. We strive to take photos of the bad. Some of the photos are very close up, potentially giving an almost exaggerated look. Also, the slightest patina can potentially show up as bright green in photos.

• If a multi item order forces you to an unwanted shipping upgrade, add a note to your order - e.g. "First Class Shipping Please". If you do not, we will NOT hold up the order to check. It will be processed as fast as we can and shipped priority with no refund.
• This sometimes happens depending on the weight or number of pieces because we have to include the weight of the padded envelope and packaging during our setup of each piece. On multi item orders, this can add up, pushing you into the next weight class.
• For all multi item orders not marked priority =
when we print your shipping label, we adjust the weight to the correct amount, determine the most cost effective option and refund any amount that was overcharged.
