Excellent Estate Condition:

"New-Old" stock items. Antique, vintage, estate items that have minimal wear. Items in this condition have likely been worn very little.

Very Fine Estate Condition: Normal wear in context with the age of the item.

Fine Estate Condition: Items have been regularly worn and wear is visible.

Good Estate Condition: Wear is openly visible, repairs may be in order.

Jewelry is gently cleaned. We do not buff or polish away years of patina that we feel enhances the piece.

All of our items are presented as we receive them from the original owners. We do not remove stones from settings, and unless otherwise noted, all statements regarding gem identification, weight, quality, or clarity of the diamonds and gemstones are our best estimates.

Our Vintage/Antique pieces are usually obtained from A very Reputable Antique/Estate Dealer.

When the items are not marked for metal content (karat), metals are tested. When the items are marked, we try to include a photograph of that mark. It is our hope that any estate jewelry and items you purchase from us will provide you with pride and pleasure for years to come.
