♥CONDITION: Unless otherwise stated all of my items are pre-loved, I endeavor to describe accurately and any flaws will be detailed.  Unless otherwise stated, this item is in very good or better condition and this includes all stones / settings in place and fully working pins, clasps, etc.

♥STYLE or PERIOD:Where I have indicated 'style' that refers to the design of the piece, shape, colour, use of materials etc.  Where I have indicated 'period' that refers to the design and also to the construction and actual materials.  For example an art deco style brooch may actually date from a later period, with a swivel on the pin etc, by contrast a 'period' art deco piece would be more likely to have a simple 'c' type clasp (and this would have the appearance of wire ie be rounded and not the clumsier chunky flat later examples).  If you are unsure about my definitions or any aspect of a listing - please - ASK!  My indications of either style or period are my opinion, they are however informed by daily research, experience of a vast range of jewellery materials and antique / vintage pieces, an extensive private collection for comparison and several formal design qualifications.  As such though artistically sensitive to criticism I welcome your questions and your comments - if you need any assistance or want to point out my failings please do so through e-bays messaging system and I will be happy to respond.

♥COMMUNICATION: I welcome your questions before or after bidding and attempt to answer them as quickly as possible.  Please contact me through e-bays messaging system, if you require a quick response, as occasionally other e-mails are lost in spam.

♥POSTAGE: If you require a signed for delivery (note: this DOES NOT INSURE JEWELLERY ITEMS) please opt for UK - 'recorded signed' for or WORLDWIDE - 'international signed for'.  This is recommended for items of significant value.  Additionally if you require tracking or insurance - without the following options jewellery is not covered for loss - please opt for 'special delivery' or 'airsure'.

♥PACKAGING: Please be aware - I package individually as necessary to ensure all pieces reach you as they leave me.  I am happy to combine postage, the postage costs as listed include wrapping etc as well as actual postage.  Please request a combined invoice before paying or you may automatically be charged separate postage costs.  Please contact me if you wish to combine multiple lots and are unsure of postage costs.
