vintage and antique

jewelry components

 

Many of the items listed here are vintage or antique. As such, they carry the qualities of age and the variations of nature. These qualities are part of their appeal and are considered an essential element of the value and beauty of these components.
 
Please note that the metals in many vintage or antique components are unknown. So when I refer to silver or gold I am referring to the color. When I refer to 'Sterling Silver' or 'Fine Silver' I am referring to specific precious metals (sterling silver is 92.5% silver and fine silver is 99.9% silver). Gold vermeil refers to gold over sterling silver. Gold plated refers to gold over a non-precious metal base. If you ever have any questions about the metal content of a piece, please don't hesitate to ask.

If you have an interest in a large volume purchase, please reach out to me.
  
Customer service is my top priority. If you are dissatisfied for any reason please contact me immediately

I do my best to present each item as accurately as possible. Please make sure to read the product description and look at all the visual details of the piece in the photographs BEFORE purchasing. I try to include as many details as possible for each listing so you will know what you are ordering.
