***************

Definition of Condition:

This guide is an attempt to demystify some of the words we use to rate the condition of the jewelry we are listing. Most vintage jewelry is used and may exhibit signs of wear, which is normal due to the age of some pieces. We describe each piece individually and will point out any flaws we find. That said, here are some overarching descriptors and what they might mean inside an auction:

Mint / Perfect: Self explanatory - RARE

Near Mint / Perfect: Like new - no noted flaws

Excellent: Minor flaws which do not compromise the piece

Very Good: Minor flaws, easily repairable and wearable flaws. Most items fit in this category

Good: Noted minor flaws, most likely repairable, wearable with care or after repair

Fair: Noticeable noted flaws, some significant, possibly wearable or repairable

As Found: A piece that is damaged beyond repair, recycle parts,valuable for research or for further study.

IMPORTANT INFO: Although we do our best, photographing jewelry for size reference can be a little tricky, and often buying items look larger on screen. Colors can also vary depending on computers. So, please refer to the description of color and measurements for actual size. All items are described to the best of our knowledge. If you have any questions, please feel free to convo me. You, the buyer, are the final judge after viewing the photos and reading the description.

Most items have been cleaned, but there may be some additional cleaning that will need to be done to meet the standards of the buyer.
