STORE INFO:

Welcome to L'Or Aux Beaux Royales, and greetings from lperkins, the store's proprietor. To go to my store directly, go to loraux.com.

L'Or Aux Beaux Royales offers vintage and antique jewelry and collectibles, with a focus on costume and sterling jewelry. I also offer quality new and pre-owned jewelry.

Wearing vintage jewelry sets you apart from the crowd, helps you cultivate your own personal style, and adds interest to your wardrobe. Collecting vintage and antique jewelry is a rewarding and fascinating hobby.

LOWER everyday Fixed Prices (Buy It Now) are the new store policy. I know the great majority of my customers don't make offers, so this new policy will make the pricing better for you!

Reasonable offers will still be accepted, and of course, we will still have occasional sales and special promotions. For WHOLESALE prices, see the section on VOLUME DISCOUNTS.

I often accept reasonable offers. Offers requesting a large percentage discount may be auto-declined, so that I may make a living. (See FAQ.) If your offer is declined, you can still make a higher offer or click Buy It Now.

Unless otherwise noted, my items are vintage, antique, or preowned. This means most of them have been pre-owned and pre-loved, but may have wear and/or flaws. Please read the item description and the condition description, and carefully examine all photos before bidding. I do my best to describe items accurately and photograph them as well as I can.

I want you to be happy with your purchase. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to message me.

VOLUME DISCOUNTS:

My WHOLESALE price is the VOLUME DISCOUNT price. Shipping multiple items together saves on shipping costs, and I pass these savings on to you. You must use ADD TO CART button and buy 2 or more items to qualify for the discount. (See FAQ.) I cannot offer the wholesale price on single items, due to out of pocket shipping costs.

SHIPPING:

For Buy It Now items, I offer free shipping, which means the shipping is included in the price. My prices are very competitive with similar fixed price items from other sellers, when price plus shipping are considered.

I cannot delay shipments, after you have paid. This is because my eBay seller rating is affected by shipments that eBay considers late. Items that have been paid MUST be shipped within one business day. No exceptions. If you want to delay shipment, delay your payment, and please let me know that is what you are doing.

If you have already paid for an item, I cannot combine the shipping for that item with later purchases.

Please ask about any special shipping or packaging requests BEFORE paying, since it's possible these may carry an additional cost. It is not necessary to ask me to pack items safely. I am always very careful with packing.

FEEDBACK:

Once you have received your item, and are happy with it, please leave positive feedback. If you ever have an issue, please contact me through eBay messages first, so that I may work with you to resolve it.

Maryland sales pay 6% sales tax on items shipped within Maryland. Buyers from other states that require sales tax to be paid on internet sales may have applicable taxes charged by eBay.

International Buyers, Please Note:

Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.

FAQ:

Q: Why do you auto-decline some offers?

A: I have a disability. I cannot consistently work full time and regular hours, and the work I can do is severely limited. I do not get a disability check. This is my only income. My prices are based on my cost of doing business. If I let everyone set their own prices, I could not make a living. I ask that you respect my right to make a living, in spite of my disability. Thank you.

Q: Why are my offers being auto-declined?

A: If your offers are being auto-declined, it may help to know about my pricing policy. I almost always research the eBay Buy It Now prices of significantly similar or identical items and then price my items in the low to middle part of the range of prices that I see, based on the total prices (item + shipping). My items are already priced low to average compared to other Buy It Now listings, at the time of listing, for same or very similar items. For this reason, I do not accept offers requesting large percentages off the original low prices. I don't mark my prices up that much, so I can't lower them that much.

Q: How do you know what period an item is from?

A: The short answer is I have a B.A. in fine art and art history from the University of Michigan, and if the jewelry is from the 1970s or later, I have been looking at it all my life. The longer answer is that sometimes specific pieces are documented, or I can find something that is very similar in style that is documented, and I do a lot of research on pieces I am unfamiliar with. Often it's best guess.

Q: Why are some of your prices firm now?

A: For items where I have a very low margin over my fixed costs, I have had to make my prices firm so that I can continue to offer these low margin items at the lowest possible prices. I do encourage resellers and collectors to take advantage of my volume pricing, which offers substantial discounts for sales of multiple items.

Q: How does the Volume Pricing work?

A: Add two or more of my items to your cart to get the discount. They can be different items. These discounted prices are my wholesale prices. You must use the Add to Cart button, and you must buy at least two items to get the wholesale price, due to out of pocket shipping costs. Resellers, I am sure you have the ability to buy more than one item at a time.

All items are eligible for a 33% volume discount off the current price (even sale price items!) when you buy two or more. When you have added one item to your cart, eBay will show a message in your cart that indicates that you will get a discount if you increase your quantity. They don't have to be the same item to get the discount, but they do have to be items from my store. Add more to your cart and eBay will automatically apply the discount at checkout. Easy!

Resellers, you may also want to check out my other account, randomactsofawesome, where I occasionally put up larger wholesale lots.

Q: What is the free gift that I get with my purchase?

A: It may be a randomly chosen piece of costume jewelry, or it may be a gemstone or some other small item. The items are random. I buy vintage jewelry in large lots, so often there will be pieces that I don't choose to list individually on eBay, and I like to give them away.
