Most of our findings are vintage. This would be about 99%. We have bought vintage jewelry and findings from closeouts or buyouts over many years. These are findings that were still in the original boxes, waiting to be sold to stores in days gone by. They are old findings that have never been used or sold and in their original "new" and "unused" condition. They are called NOS= NEW OLD STOCK. If you type in any of these phrases on Ebay, you will see exactly what I mean and there are thousands of items that are "new old stock". The customers that buy from our store are looking for these findings because it is very hard to find "vintage" in "new condition".
