Please note: Earlier this year eBay introduced their Authenticity Guarantee program, which is a mandatory service for jewelry items purchased.  When you purchase an item now, it will get shipped from me, to eBays third party jewelry experts, inspected, repackaged and then shipped to you (at no cost to you!) I have copied eBays description of their new program below with some of the questions you might have on how it works. 

How does Authenticity Guarantee work?

All eligible items have an Authenticity Guarantee blue checkmark badge on the top right of the listing. When an eligible item is purchased, the seller is required to ship the item to the authentication facility. There, the item goes through a multi-point inspection process. Once verified, the item is sent directly to your buyer through expedited, signature-required shipping.

What happens at the authentication facility?

Once the authentication facility receives the jewelry piece, a jewelry expert confirms the item is consistent with the listing image, title, and description. Then they will perform a multi-point inspection process to verify metal type, purity, and gemstone quality, among other characteristics as described in the listing. Finally, they will generate custom documentation verifying the item's authenticity, and carefully package the jewelry piece before shipping it to the buyer via secure, expedited delivery.

Who is providing the authentication service?

eBay is collaborating with GIA^®, the Gemological Institute of America^®, to provide our Authenticity Guarantee service. GIA^® is a nonprofit institute dedicated to ensuring the public trust in gems and jewelry. As the trusted authority on diamonds, colored stones, and pearls, GIA^® upholds the highest standards in gemological research, education, and science.

Is there an authentication card?

Yes, verified jewelry will receive a unique authentication card containing a QR code confirming that it is authentic.

What is the estimated delivery time for Authenticity Guarantee items?

Items will be inspected within two business days after they receive it. Once verified, the item will be shipped directly to your buyer with three-day, signature required delivery.
