**PLEASE BE AWARE: THOUGH WE SHIP QUICKLY, USPS RANDOMLY EXPERIENCES DELAYS. This can affect total delivery time. Tracking info is often delayed or altogether inaccurate. Staring at it won't help.
In 15 years of selling on eBay, involving thousands of packages, we've had maybe 2 that were actually "lost in the mail", and those were international. So, it will arrive eventually. PLEASE be patient.
.
We ask that you purchase items with the sole intention of treasuring them forever. We offer free returns as a courtesy, only to be used if we've made a serious error. (We should still be contacted 1st.)
Returns for any other reason may be subject to a deduction from the refund, & all shipping fees will be the responsibility of the buyer. Items must be returned in the exact condition in which they were received, including any specialty packaging.
Any returns that are forced using dishonest measures (i.e. selecting "Doesn't match description or photos", when you really just changed your mind) will be reported, with evidence provided to eBay.
As we do not make the items we sell, we offer no guarantees or warranties, expressed or implicit. By completing a purchase, you are agreeing to these terms. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
.
Shipping within US only, with rare exceptions using the Global Shipping Program. Signature upon delivery will be required for items over $249, and at our discretion for others. Tracking info will automatically upload when shipped. We package our items within 1 business day after payment is received, and will generally drop at the post office the following day. Business days are defined as M-F, 8am-5pm.
WE WILL COMBINE SHIPPING FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS. No extra charge if package weight doesn't change. BUT: 1. You need to give us a heads- up, 2. Items must be purchased within a 3 day time frame, and 3. You must request & wait for a combined invoice before paying. We cannot combine shipping on items post- checkout!
Please know: we are not out to profit on shipping. The price sometimes reflects added insurance and/or signature service fees.

Enlarged/ close- up photos are used in order to show you better detail only, not for any nefarious reasons. In order to understand the true size of an item, please refer to actual measurements and other size info provided.

Long- winded notes & general FYI from a small (but passionate) eBay presence. Absolutely no offense is intended whatsoever:
1. Returns
We are pleased to offer free returns, but please don't abuse this. We only offer this to make things easy for you in case we have made a mistake. We still need to be contacted prior to opening a return!
By sending a quick message to the seller, most issues can be resolved. Sometimes without even needing to return anything. If it's agreed through messaging that a return is best and it was our mistake/ fault (or if you're just that unhappy with your purchase), we will gladly pay for/ provide a return label. Most good sellers operate this way.
However, if a return is needed and it was actually your fault, please just pay for your own label, then send a message with the tracking info. This is all the "proof" eBay needs that you've returned something. You can then take pride in the fact that you did the right thing, and did not take advantage.
Bottom line: there is never a need to open a return case against us without at least contacting us first. We are a very small "store" on eBay, operated by 2 human beings. Please just talk to us, and we can work things out as adults.
.
2. Item Details
Gram weights are approximate, but will be accurate within a (+/-) 0.3 gram range, which is a standard variance allowance. Millimeter measurements should also be considered approximate, but will also fall within (+/-) 0.3.
The majority of used items we sell come from family member's estates. (Or other known people's estates.) We pass along whatever info was given to us at the time, and/or whatever we can confirm through our own research. Though we have gained a lot of knowledge over time, we are not experts on these items. If we were to have everything appraised/ certified/ etc., our prices would have to increase significantly. Our goal is to offer quality items at "old eBay" prices.
We would never knowingly provide false info on an item. That makes zero business sense. We want happy customers who will return!
.
3. Feedback
We are also not product designers, makers or distributors. Only re- sellers. We did not make these items. If you have something negative to say regarding the design of an item, or the quality of materials that were used, etc., please feel free to leave a review on the actual creator's site. Feedback left on eBay is meant to be about your buying experience with that seller. It should only reflect things that the seller has control over. For example, was the item described well? Is it what you expected based on the pictures and description? If you asked questions, were they answered in a timely & professional manner? Did the seller ship your item within their promised time frame*? If the answer is yes to these questions, the feedback should be all positive.
*This is a big one. Once an item is handed over to a carrier, the seller has fulfilled their promise. Way too many sellers get negative feedback based on a delivery taking too long. Again, feel free to leave your thoughts with the responsible party, which is not the seller if the item left their hands on time. It will never cease to amaze how many people still believe eBay sellers have some kind of magical control over/ secret dealings with USPS, FedEx, etc.. How much control do you have when you mail something? Right, well, same-sies.
.
4. Used Items
This may seem obvious, but unless a seller has stated that an item is in like- new condition, we should all expect that used items will look, well, used!
Opinions about condition can vary greatly. If a seller has selected "pre-owned", then any statements regarding the appearance of that item are going to be that seller's opinion. Period.
.
5. Used Jewelry
Most people forget that jewelry requires periodic maintenance. Even the highest quality stuff can't look pretty forever without some effort. When purchasing a pre-owned piece, it is safest to assume it has been neglected. We always recommend taking your purchase to a local jeweler for a check-up. They can straighten/ tighten/ repair/ replace as needed, and can often buff out surface scratches. All in addition to giving it a professional cleaning. What you get back often looks brand new! Some places won't even charge you for simple stuff, just so they can establish a relationship with you. If there is a charge it is usually minimal. Well worth it to keep your jewelry in the best shape possible for the long haul!
.
6. Final Thought
We do realize that there will always be people who would rather hide behind/ use & abuse eBay's buyer- friendly policies. We have nothing to say to those individuals apart from reminding them what goes around, comes around. It is generally true that you get back what you put out into the world.
So, "Careful, Icarus...".
THANKS FOR MAKING IT TO THE END!
