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.

All of our jewlery is packaged securely in a presentation box. This is offered at no additional charge.
If you would like an upgraded presentation box for proposal, storage or gifting, please let us know. We offer a variety of premium presentation boxes for an additional fee.
Some boxes we offer include Victorian Reproduction, Leather Crown and Gold Embossed Leather.
Please see listing titled "Presentation box upgrade" and add to your order at check-out.

If a layaway goes unpaid for greater than 60 days with no communication, the item will be placed back into our Inventory and the layaway agreement and sale is terminated. All payments made are nonrefundable.

We will do our best to work with each customer to customize a layaway that works best to avoid any unexpected issues.

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.

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.

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!

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.
