This is Rosalinda,or Rosie,
my Catalina Macaw. She is
now 12 and I raised her from
an egg. She is a born jewelry
fanatic and her eyes light up
when she sees me handle
jewelry. She likes to help,
so I give her old costume beads
and tissue paper and it is her job
to turn them into little pieces!
She thinks she is helping, but
she is really just making a huge
mess! Strange how she likes to
play with vintage jewelry!
I wonder who she got that from?!

ANIMAL JEWELRY COLLECTION
This is a tame peacock at our
mountain home that sits on the
porch and looks in the window
at me most of the day, watching
me work on the computer! Is it any
wonder I love to collect bird jewerly?

ANTIQUE & VINTAGE
TROPICAL JEWELRY COLLECTION
This is my darling Tinker Bell.
We found her lost or abandoned
way out in the woods, half starved
and living on snow,acorns,and moles.
Everyone always asks what kind of
dog she is and we were able to find
out the she is 1/2 Great Pyranese and
1/2 Yellow Lab. She is very well
behaved and has the personality of
a butterfly! She lives to bury her head in snow, and eat snow until her head freezes!

Notice About Item Descriptions
All jewelry items on this site are antique or vintage
and are unique, one of a kind items to this site.
All jewelry items have many large clear photos and are described in great detail.
All antique and vintage jewelry should NOT be expected to be perfect and some flaws or imperfections are typical of age and wear. Item measurements are estimations only and should NOT be considered to be exact. Jewelry items are measured at their longest and widest points. All items are pictured with a US quarter or a US dime for size relevancy. All jewelry has photos of the back side of the item as well.
Colors of jewelry metals, stones, gems, and pearls may vary according to your computer monitor and lighting conditions when the items are photographed. For this reason, it is important that you read the full description if exact color is a concern.
Please be advised ~ All antique and vintage jewelry should be worn, cared for and handled like you are caring for an elderly person. It will not withstand rigorous cleaning and rough handling. All jewelry items that have glue set rhinestones will become cloudy and fall out if you get the jewelry wet. Washing antique and vintage necklaces under running water can cause old cords to break. I will not be responsible for jewelry that is damaged due to improper care.
I will not be responsible for or warranty jewelry once in your possession that is misplaced, lost, damaged, altered, broken,or stolen whether due to negligence on the customers part or not, for all jewelry regardless of age or condition.
Please note that when you place an order online on this web site, you are required to insert your initials on the order form stating that you agree to the policies of this site, and you are required to agree to same when clicking on the order button.
Antique and Vintage Strung Jewelry Disclaimer :
If I determined that an antique or vintage strung jewelry item was not in good strong condition, then it has already been restrung on Acculon, or teflon coated wire. You will note the upgrade, free of charge, in the item description.
As all strung types of jewelry may have old cord or thread that is 40 years old or much older, I will not be liable for necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or other strung jewelry if the strands break. Old jewelry that is strung on cord or thread should be handled with great care and should not be pulled, yanked, or get wet. Old knots at finding joints can also come loose. These are conditions that cannot be foreseen.
If you purchase a strung necklace or bracelet that breaks within 2 weeks of receipt, I will restring the jewelry item and reship it at no cost to you except your cost of shipping the item to me. I do not restring or do other repairs for free after 2 weeks from the date of receipt.
I offer restringing services for your personal jewelry not purchased here.
You can make a special request for restringing by EMAIL .
In most cases, I restring using Acculon, which is Teflon coated wire that is the strongest money can buy and will last a lifetime or more.
Typical Estimated Costs :
Single strand necklace with end components in place: $ 24
Double strand necklace with end components in place: $ 34
Multi strand necklace with end components in place: $ 44 to 54
Bracelets with end components in place: $ 24
Insurance Claims
ALL DAMAGE CLAIMS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY EMAIL or PHONE ( 828-297-6777)
WITHIN 48 HOURS OF RECEIPT OF SHIPMENT.

4. The return shipment should be insured by you for your protection in the event your shipment is damaged or lost. If your return shipment is not insured, we will not be held liable for lost or damaged shipments. Insuring your shipment also gives you signature confirmation that you can verify on the USPS web site and know for certain if you shipment was or was not received by us.
Any items that are not reported as damaged or lost per the Insurance Claim section will not be eligible for a full instore credit or refund of any kind.
