VINTAGE JEWELRY NOTE — PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING

This is a pre-owned vintage piece and has had a life before arriving at Edition Styles. Due to the age and pre-owned nature of vintage jewelry, pieces may show minor signs of previous wear, age, handling, or storage. This may include light surface wear, small scratches, patina, tarnishing, discoloration, fading, finish or plating wear, oxidation, wear to faux pearl coatings, slight variations in texture, or other characteristics consistent with age.

We carefully inspect, photograph, and describe our vintage jewelry to the best of our ability. Any notable flaws observed during our inspection will be disclosed in the individual description and/or shown in the photographs. However, vintage jewelry is not new, and small or subtle signs of age and previous wear may be present.

Please carefully review all photographs before purchasing. Photographs are an important part of the item’s condition description and are provided so you can examine the overall appearance and details of the piece.

Unless specifically identified, tested, and stated in the individual listing, we do not guarantee exact metal composition, plating, gemstone composition, pearl composition, bead composition, or other material content. Descriptive terminology such as “sterling silver,” “black onyx,” “faux pearl,” “silver-tone,” “stone,” and similar terms should only be considered confirmation of material content where the listing specifically states that the material has been verified.

Any era or date provided is based on available maker information, markings, construction, design, style, provenance, and/or our best assessment. Unless an exact date is documented or specifically stated as confirmed, vintage dating should be considered an estimate.

Measurements are taken by hand and are approximate. Colors, finishes, stones, beads, and textures may appear somewhat different in person due to lighting, reflections, photography, and individual screen settings.

Because vintage jewelry can become more delicate with age, we recommend handling pieces carefully and avoiding unnecessary exposure to water, perfume, hairspray, lotions, household cleaners, chemicals, and excessive moisture.

PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE PURCHASING. If you would like additional photographs, close-ups, measurements, photographs of the clasp, sterling markings, beads, faux pearls, tassel, stringing, hardware, or surface condition, please contact us through the live chat on our website before placing your order.

By purchasing, please make sure you have carefully reviewed the complete listing description, measurements, condition information, and all available photographs.
