Q: I ordered a piece of jewelry listed as sterling or gold, but the item is not marked for its purity. How do you know the purity of the piece, and how do you know what the stones are?

A: Great question! A lot of vintage, antique, & artisan jewelry is sometimes not marked for it's purity, and just because something is marked actually doesn't make it so! We acid test our sterling and acid test as well as electrotest our gold jewelry. Gemstones that are able to be tested are tested with a Presidium Gem Tester II. Stones that are not able to be tested are educated guesses from years of experience. Please note we do not have any formal training. All of our knowledge is self-taught as well as learned from others in the same field as us, often times with many more years of experience than we have. With that being said, we can make mistakes, so if you ever feel that we were inaccurate in our description, please feel free to get in touch with us and let us know. We will always do what we can to make it right.

Q: Where do your pieces come from?

A: We have developed a network of connections over the years that have resulted in us being able to consistently acquire inventory. All inventory is pre-owned or new old stock, unless otherwise stated.
