FAQ

Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about purchasing, payment, shipping, sizing, appraisals, and antique condition.


How do I purchase an item?

New items are generally offered on Instagram first, usually on weekdays. Turn on Instagram notifications if you would like to be notified when a new piece is posted.

To purchase an item, send me a direct message on Instagram with your email address and request an invoice. If an item does not sell the same day, I will make it available on the website as soon as possible. You can also check my Instagram posts and highlights for pieces marked “Available.”

If you request an invoice, payment is due within one hour. If payment is not received within that time, the invoice may be canceled and the item offered to the next client.

Do you offer a discount for Zelle or wire payments?

Yes. I offer a small discount for items paid by Zelle or wire transfer. Please message me before purchasing if you would like to use one of these payment methods.

Do you offer layaway?

Layaway is considered on a case-by-case basis. A typical arrangement is three months with a 20% down payment, although I may be flexible depending on the item.

All layaway payments are non-refundable and non-transferable. If you change your mind, payments cannot be refunded or applied to a different item.

What is your return policy?

I will accept a return for a full refund if an item is proven to be materially not as described.

Except when an item is proven not as described, all payments—including partial payments—are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another item.

For certain higher-value pieces, such as large natural diamonds, or items that cannot be resized, such as eternity bands, I may consider a return for another reason on a case-by-case basis. This must be discussed and agreed upon before purchase.

How do you ship?

I offer free, insured USPS shipping within the United States.

For international shipping, please contact me for a quote. USPS international shipping is usually approximately $39–$55, depending on the destination and package.

If you require specific shipping arrangements, please contact me before purchasing. Otherwise, I will select the shipping method I consider most appropriate and convenient.

International buyers are responsible for understanding their country’s customs rules and paying any applicable duties, taxes, or import fees.

Can you size my ring?

Most rings can be resized unless the design prevents it, as is often the case with eternity bands. I can arrange sizing for a nominal fee.

Please allow approximately two weeks for sizing. Contact me through Instagram direct message for availability and a quote for your specific ring.

Do your items come with appraisals?

Unless an item already came to me with an appraisal, I do not provide one. For insurance and personal records, I encourage you to have your purchase independently evaluated by a certified appraiser and GIA gemologist.

I am a GIA diamond graduate with extensive experience, and I work hard to describe every piece as accurately as possible. If you have any concerns after receiving your item, please contact me.

What should I expect from vintage and antique jewelry?

By purchasing from my store, you understand that vintage and antique jewelry has been previously worn and is not new. Normal age-related wear may be present, including light wear to gemstones, small blemishes or chips, and thinning of the shank.

Most—if not all—antique diamonds and gemstones have some degree of wear unless they have been newly repolished. I disclose significant flaws, but ordinary wear consistent with the age and history of a piece may not be individually noted in every listing.
