As always every single item that arrives at my Office is cleaned and examined ., items are then stored in their own individual Box and when sold I examine and clean again.
***************************************************************************************************************
For the time being I do not offer international shipping due to serious 3-4 month Time delay and items being held up in Customs due to Covid or worker shortage.
If I do agree International Customers need to Please Note!! Be aware of new changes that International customers you, the purchaser, are responsible for any duties, tariffs, VAT or other taxes which may apply to purchases in your country.
United States Sellers / Vintage55 is NOT registered to collect VAT/GST in any country, so when you see Etsy's "VAT/GST included where applicable" statement under the price, please bear in mind it is NOT applicable to purchases in this shop, your country's normal VAT/GST procedures will apply. Please be aware of this before purchasing! US sellers are not authorized to collect VAT/customs fees for other countries. These fees are your responsibility so it is advisable that you the buyer check with your local postal service for more information. We do not refund those fees.
***************************************************************************************************************
United States Buyers! "State Sales Tax"
If your state is one of many that are now charging / collecting State sales Tax please be aware that it is not the seller / shop owner who collect your sales Tax., Etsy collects the State Tax money from each sale and pays it in for those participating States and yes some states are ALSO charging their residents Tax on Shipping. I have been asked a few times if I am the one who takes out Taxes so I wanted to clarify this misconception.

My Selling History
I have been selling Vintage Jewelry since 1995 beginning with Ebay., I signed up with Etsy November 2008, liked what I saw and have been selling here since March of 2009 with a Combined total of over 5,000 Sales from 3 shops, 2 on Etsy and one off site., this does NOT include my early Ebay days in the 1990's.
*************************************************************************************************
I collect as well as sell! but oddly enough I don't wear Jewelry, just collect., it replaces my desire to dive into a muddy field and become wonderfully grubby digging for rock and gemstones.
I enjoy hunting for Vintage Treasures to add to my own collection or share with others. My personal collection consists of 1920's - 40s Era Jewelry - Art Deco, Art Nouveau with an emphasis on Czechoslovakian Glass Jewelry. I also love and collect the Beautiful and much over looked 20's & 30's Era Dress clips which can also be clipped on the neckline front or a dipping deep open backed dress, The look is truly Elegant!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
I consistently have on hand at 100 - 200 items in inventory waiting to be listed and I am always hunting for more items., I try to list once a day, so please check back often! You never know what I may have waiting in inventory or what I may find on my next hunting excursion!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
My Process - My Tribe
I buy from Estate Sales, dealers and individuals who purchase in large lots., all items are sorted, cleaned and inspected for flaws.. sometimes I may not see a flaw till the item is photographed, if a piece is worthy I will ship off to "The Jewelry Repair Company" or "tjrc" a professional in St Louis to match and replace the damaged stone... I have used Melissa's services for the past 15 years, she does professional stone replacement for collectors and sellers!
I will always note repairs done in the listing as some collectors are purest and want the original stones no matter the condition. I clean and sanitize all Earrings, clean and sanitize again when shipped. My items are Vintage they are NOT going to be New and Shinny! I cater mainly to collectors, resellers or the person who is looking for a missing piece to finish a beloved set. I enjoy what I do and love helping people replace that brooch that Mom or Grandma once cherished but was lost.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My Pricing in a nut shell
I price according to What I had to pay, availability and more importantly Condition! Etsy Policy: Vintage is considered at least 20 yrs old but I specialize in items pre 1970 which are becoming harder to procure. Antique is 100yrs. Contemporary is newer year 2000 circa.
There was a time decades ago when one could pick up a fabulous 1940 Rhinestone brooch for 25cents.. This day and age I generally will have to pay anywhere from $5.00 to $ 50.00 for a nice hard to find item., my pickers are having to pay more and that in turn trickles down to me., and when a selling venue ups their cost to me I have to up mine. I do this because I enjoy it! , its a never ending learning process and I know enough to know I know NOTHING ... there is always more to learn!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I Recycle!
Once a year I will list broken Jewelry, Beads and findings for craft and up cycled Jewelry! Nothing Goes to waste!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
International Shipping Restricted Items!
I can only ship to countries that are covered by Insurance also some items like Gold, silver, Mother of Pearl & Coral are restricted in most countries. , so please be aware of what your country will allow to be imported. , Customs can and will confiscate items they deem as restricted.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Teams
I belong to several Jewelry Identification groups including Delizza and Elster, Antique, Czech , and a Jewelry Study Group., I also belong to a few Etsy Sellers groups on Facebook, and Google. If I don't have what you are looking for just let me know and I may be able to find someone who can help you!
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Etsy Family
I also believe in "Keeping it in the Family" I go to Etsy first when buying gifts for Family and Friends I also buy my Shop supplies on Etsy and being an Avid Quilter I always look on Etsy First for any Quilting supplies! Etsy pretty much has it all!
