Antique Jewelry is a wonderful world of art, design, craftsmanship, individuality and of course, beauty. I'm grateful to be able to share this passion with you in my Etsy store.
Please inquire if a specific item is available, as some of my pieces are shown in a retail setting. When considering a purchase please read my policies regarding Layaways, shipping, international shipping, and returns.
**** Please note: Payments must clear/be completed before an item is shipped. Thank you! **** This is an important factor if your order is time sensitive, i.e., Birthday, Anniversary, Engagement etc.
A WORD ON INDEPENDENT APPRAISALS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE:
It is a challenge when purchasing antique jewelry online that you are assured that which you are purchasing, is indeed, the piece presented to you.
An independent jewelry appraisal can give you that confidence.
An independent jewelry appraisal verifies the features of a piece of jewelry. It also values the jewelry’s monetary worth. It is a legal document that can be held up in a court of law, signed by a certified appraiser.
Why an independent appraisal? While many jewelry stores and online retailers use an in-house appraiser to appraise their jewelry, I choose not to. I want to be confident that the person appraising my jewelry has no vested interest in its price.
By using an independent appraiser, I am allowing an outside, objective party to determine the price of my jewelry.
I use North American Gem Lab to do my appraisals.
On occasion, I am asked for a G.I.A. certificate. A G.I.A. certificate analyzes the stones, but not the entire piece of jewelry. Of course with some antique pieces the stone is the most significant part, but with many antique pieces, the jewelry’s craftsmanship or provenance holds equal or greater value. An appraisal values the entire piece of jewelry, not only the center stones.
An additional reason to offer an appraisal rather than a GIA certification, is that the G.I.A. has to remove stones from their setting in order to certify them. With an antique piece, my intent is to "do no harm." The piece should be as authentic as when it was made (as possible), which includes not removing and remounting the center stone.
Thank you for visiting!

5 out of 5 starsThis item was ment to be for my wife , the seller was nice patient and great customer service,anything I asked for I got answers immediately. I was the worst customer ever I took forever to respond and after a few months of answering all my questions, I was finally able to purchase this item. After all I put the seller through the seller still helped me in a very polite, professional manner and never gave up on me. I thank you so much and I appreciate the great customer service!! The photos did NOT capture this lockets true beauty at all. This will be an amazing Mother’s Day gift for my wife. The shipping was quick and I was in contact with the seller every bit of the way until my item arrived. Item was wrapped nicely and securely. I will definitely be back to do business with this seller again. I highly recommend this shop A++
