Why choose vintage pieces?
When investing in vintage pieces, you're investing in something that will only grow in value, and that you know is of higher quality than fast-fashion products.
The pieces we sell are vintage, so they may present marks of the passage of time. Make sure you have a close look at the photos of each product. We try to capture them as accurately as possible. Colors may differ slightly.
Sold as-is, check photos carefully. Some items will display wear consistent with age and use. Gemstones have not been graded for colour and clarity and tested for clarity and colour enhancement unless stated otherwise.
As with any vintage items, pieces may have some signs of wear such as surface scratches, small chips, dings, or may have a patina that can easily be removed. Any medium to major damage such as cracked stones or dents will be noted in the description if known.
It is the buyers' responsibility to view each image and preview the item to determine the condition.
