Except for the occasional piece, and where mentioned, none of our jewellery is new. Very little of our jewelry is new retro-vintage reproduction, but if it is, we'll tell you that.
Every piece of vintage jewellery, signed or unsigned, that is available for purchase via this site has been previously loved and worn. Therefore, if you intend to purchase a piece, please bear in mind there may be the usual signs of wear and age on some items, especially on the undersides. This is normal. Before shipping the item to you, we check for any loose stones or broken clasps etc. Yet despite all our care, it is possible for a stone to fall out during shipment. If that's happened, it'll usually be in the box or wrapping. So open carefully. After all, this is vintage jewelry and like anything, with wear comes fragility.
Our vintage jewellery comes from estate sales, auctions, private collections and other sources. We carry only a very small selection at any given time as we focus on locating and selling quality over quantity.
We accept Pay Pal for all purchases inside and outside Canada but a small extra fee will apply since PayPal's fees are quite high and our prices are the lowest we can make them. Canadians may also pay by money order, cashier's cheque or use www.interac.ca US buyers may also pay by Cashier's cheque or money orders and US funds are acceptable.
ALL PRICES SHOWN ARE IN US DOLLARS AND DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING FEES UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED. PLEASE ENQUIRE ABOUT SHIPPING FEES BEFORE PAYING FOR AN ITEM. WE WILL NOT SHIP WITHOUT APPROPRIATE INSURANCE.
THIS AMOUNT MUST BE ADDED TO YOUR PAYMENT. OUR PRICES & SHIPPING COSTS DO NOT INCLUDE ANY CUSTOMS DUTY YOU MAY INCUR. THESE ARE APPLIED BY YOUR COUNTRY AND MUST BE PAID BY YOU.
If you are able to pick up the items from our Hamilton, Ontario location, then of course, you will only be paying the price shown with no further charges. We are also open to reasonable offers, but please bear in mind that the signed Vintage jewelry pieces we carry are collector's items and are more expensive than the unsigned pieces. We also carry gold jewelry with a fair price for previously owned jewelry but we do not sell gold at refiner prices. Our gold is jewelry, meant for wearing and not for melting down.
The best place to view our jewelry from various angles and to see the prices of each piece is to visit our DESIGNER VINTAGE JEWELRY SHOWCASE where you can browse the individual designers or categories. But we also carry a lot of other items in OUR SHOP at RUBY LANE. That's were you'll find more jewelry by Weiss, Miriam Haskell, Schiaparelli, Givenchy, Pakula etc.
We also invite and encourage you to visit our BLOGS where we give informal and friendly advice and observations on buying, selling and collecting vintage jewelry along with examining some of the problems we've encountered when buying online and via eBay. Don't miss our blogs at THE VINTAGE BLOGGER and the SHERMAN VINTAGE JEWELRY BLOG
