TERMINOLOGY USED IN OUR LISTINGS:
The definition of the word
s
tone(s)
can be anything at all. It is only being used as more of a descriptive word/placeholder. These can be anything from genuine gemstone, lab created, synthetic, glass, plastic or crystal “stones”. Unless specifically stated as gemstone(s) there will be no returns accepted for jewelry where the word “stone(s)” is used in our listing. Please make sure you understand and take that into account before placing a bid.
Pearls are tested to the best of our ability for texture and layering. They are not professionally tested. Pearls that do not pass the texture and layering test are labeled “faux”. The approximate diameter is provided for size only, and the pearl(s) may or may not be perfectly round. 90% of the world’s pearls are now cultured and are not naturally occurring. We cannot distinguish between cultured and natural pearls. You are bidding with this knowledge in mind.
Color, when we describe the color (of a stone, gem, bead, or anything that is described by a color), we may have different lighting than you & some of us see colors differently. Please know that the color that is described could be slightly different & a return will not be accepted for this reason.
Amber is determined to be an organic by-product (ie not plastic) and we cannot make any statement as to age or if it has fossilized.
Bakelite has been identified via the scrubbing bubbles test or metal polish.
Testing:
All of our jewelry offerings are tested prior to going to auction. We use a Thermo Scientific Niton DXL Metal Analyzer to test for precious metals and or JSP Acid Solution Testing in conjunction with the aforementioned analyzer.
We describe each item to the best of our ability; however, we are
NOT
experts in any field. All gemstones are measured using electronic calipers.
All gemstones are tested on a Presidium Gemstone Tester. This equipment CANNOT determine between natural, lab created and synthetic gemstones. There are no returns accepted for lab created or synthetic gemstones.
Items may be vintage, antique or newer. There is still a chance that the stones can become loose or that a connector may need to be tightened. We are as delicate as possible with the items, but there is a possibility we may miss the flaw or that it may happen during shipment. No refunds permitted or given for gemstones that become dislodged from their setting in or during shipment.
IMPORTANT SHIPPING UPDATE - PLEASE READ:
Fedex is experiencing a very high volume of deliveries right now due to many businesses converting to online shopping due to the pandemic and are experiencing delays and lost packages. To counter this Goodwill Industries of Southern New Jersey & Philadelphia is now putting ADULT SIGNATURE REQUIRED on your package delivery. This is to help prevent porch theft and to minimize lost packages. We are doing this for you, the buyer. This requirement is in your best interest and at no cost to you. We are paying for this surcharge and it is our way of giving back to you to ensure you receive your item(s). So if your order totals more than 0.00 (excluding, tax, handling and shipping) we are adding on the signature requirement. Items under the value of 0.00 will NOT be receiving the signature option. If you would prefer not to have the signature requirement, please contact us by opening a service ticket to let us know that you would not prefer it.
Thank you again for your support and understanding.

Bids will only be removed from open/active auctions. We do not offer extensions past the payment due date of an item. Items are automatically relisted once the payment deadline expires. Requests for extensions will be denied. Failure to pay for your item results in a non-pay strike automatically being logged against your account.

There are no returns accepted on any item for color variation.

We try to ship items the day after receiving payment. Payments must be received by 7:00 am to be shipped that day. After 7:00 am the item(s) will ship the following day.
