CONDITION CLASSIFICATION GUIDELINES

Due to the inherent nature of vintage and antique items, and pre-owned or new old store stock removed from shelves, condition descriptions are subjective. We do our best to describe the condition of our items as carefully as possible and we post several photos of the actual item.  Photos are magnified to show details but we also include measurements for your review.

We do not attempt to clean, polish, repair or otherwise alter any of our old store stock, vintage or antique items. Vintage or antique jewelry may show a patina consistent with age. We sell our vintage items as acquired, as is. 

Sterling silver may show tarnish. Tarnish is not a defect, just a naturally occurring process on silver when exposed to air. Age/era is an estimation but represented to the best of our knowledge based on provenance or acquisition time frame. Stones, gems or pearls may show naturally occurring variations in color, quality or inclusions. Natural stones may vary in shape and size.

NEW OLD STORE STOCK NOT SOLD - Item was purchased in liquidation from major upscale US department stores. May have been overstock or just never sold. Sterling silver items may show tarnish and the packaging, display cards or boxes of any may show shop wear and remnants of store labels/stickers

NEW OLD STORE STOCK, MAY BE CUSTOMER RETURNS  Items are ususally in very good/good condition. Removed from store shelves due to ageing or due to being returned by a customer. May or may not show slight defects, 

MINT - Like new. Highly unusual to see this classification as by very definition antique and vintage jewelry has either been worn or handled in some way. Additionally, there is the natural process of time-wear (similar to shelf-wear). 

EXCELLENT - Outstanding condition. The best grade you can reasonably expect for antique/vintage jewelry. No wear that is unusual for its age.

VERY GOOD - We place most of our vintage and antique jewelry in this category as most all antique and vintage jewelry has some signs of use consistent with age if even only visible under 10x magnification. May have a small dent, ding, chip, light scuffing, yellowing, or plating loss. Any signs of wear would be minor compared to the overall integrity of the piece and would not detract from its beauty when worn. More significant signs of wear on the back or inside of a piece may be included in this category.

GOOD - Perfectly wearable and acceptable, but signs of use described above are more significant and readily visible. May be missing a stone or have a broken finding that can be replaced or repaired

FAIR - Wear is severe and will need significant restoration or may be used for parts or scrap.

SCRAP/RECYCLE - Good for some usable parts, stones, crystals, or findings for jewelry design, inspiration, up-cycling, re-cycling, crafting or scrap.
