****************We sell select vintage items. They are not new, and rarely look new. They are, in many cases, older than we are. They have seen life and times. We do not repair or replace parts on any of the items we sell. They came to us in the condition they are now, and are sold as is. When we say an item is in “excellent vintage condition”, we mean just that – it is in excellent condition for its age. We examine our jewelry with a lighted magnifying dental lamp. We are very particular about what we buy and sell, and describe things to the very best of our ability, in a fair and accurate way. Please - closely review the photos and descriptions of the items you wish to purchase, and if you have questions about them, we will gladly answer them prior to your buying.
The photos are part of the description. Scrutinize them.
