Antique Jewelry: Important Care Information & Condition Disclaimer
Please note that some of the jewelry pieces in our collection are antique or vintage and come with specific characteristics due to their age. While we take great care in sourcing and selecting these items, it’s important to understand the following:
1. Condition & Imperfections
Antique jewelry often shows signs of its history. This may include minor imperfections such as:
- Scratches, dents, or chips on gemstones.
- Tarnishing, patina, or discoloration on metals
- Wear on clasps, prongs, or settings due to age
These characteristics are not defects but rather indicators of the jewelry's authenticity and age. Each piece is unique, and these imperfections contribute to its charm and value. Please keep in mind that antique jewelry is not “brand new,” and some items may require gentle handling or restoration to maintain their condition.
2. Care & Maintenance
Antique jewelry requires special care to preserve its beauty and longevity:
- Keep jewelry away from harsh chemicals including perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products.
- Store jewelry separately to avoid scratching or damage.
- Clean with a soft cloth and avoid abrasive materials that may scratch delicate surfaces.
For more significant repairs or restoration, we recommend seeking a professional jeweler experienced with antique pieces.
3. No Refunds for Imperfections
Given the nature of antique jewelry, we do not accept returns or offer refunds for minor imperfections that are typical of vintage or antique items. By purchasing antique jewelry, you acknowledge that these imperfections are part of the piece’s inherent character and charm.
4. One-of-a-Kind Pieces
Every antique item we offer is unique and may vary slightly from images or descriptions. Because of their age, it’s impossible to find two exactly alike. Please carefully review product descriptions and images before purchasing.
5. Warranty
As antique jewelry is often delicate, **we do not offer warranties** on items that show signs of wear or damage due to age. Regular maintenance and careful use are essential to ensuring the piece continues to be enjoyed for years to come.
By purchasing from our antique collection, you confirm that you understand and accept these conditions.
