All returns must be reported within 48 hrs of receiving the shipment per the tracking and delivery info. You may email, call or text : [email protected] or 828-773-4053

This information is on invoice in each shipment. All returns must be received back to shipper within 7 days from the delivery date. NO EXCEPTIONS. Buyer is responsible for return shipping & insurance costs.

If the item was damaged during shipping, report it within 48 hrs of delivery, then ship it back to me right away.

Yes. If the earrings can be converted, it will be noted in the listing and listed in both the clip and pierced earring categories.


Can you repair or recondition antique and vintage costume jewelry that I own?

You can call, email, or text. In most cases, YES I do custom cleaning, metal and enamel restoration, rhinestone replacement, gold fluxing, findings repair or replacement, and in some cases, bead replacement and bead repair. It is difficult to give you an exact cost for repair until I see photos of the jewelry to determine if the necessary items are in stock or need to be ordered. We can give a basic estimate if you email good, large, clear photos of the jewelry repairs needed. Most repairs typically take 1-2 weeks.

Please email about your needs prior to shipping any jewelry for repair.
I do not offer repair services near or around holidays such as Valentines Day, Mothers Day, Christmas, or New Years.
