Questions & Answers

Yes. Everything in the collection is vintage or antique and stocked as a single piece — when one sells, it is gone rather than reordered. That is also why a piece you are considering may not wait; there is no second one behind it.

Each listing links through to our Etsy shop, where the order, payment, and delivery are handled. Browsing, searching, and reading about a piece happen here; the checkout itself happens on Etsy, so your payment details never pass through this site.

Before a piece is listed, its hallmarks and maker's stamps are examined and identified where they can be — the silver standard, and the maker or workshop where the mark allows it. Where a mark is worn, ambiguous, or absent, the listing says so instead of guessing. We would rather describe a piece as unattributed than attach a name it cannot carry.

Each listing states the size as measured. Resizing depends entirely on the piece: a plain silver band is usually straightforward for a local jeweller, while anything with turquoise, inlay, or stone channels often cannot be resized safely, because the heat and pressure involved risk the stones. If you are unsure whether a particular piece can be adjusted, ask before you buy rather than after.

Orders are placed and fulfilled through Etsy, so the delivery estimate that applies to your order is the one shown on that listing at checkout, along with Etsy's own buyer protection. Check the listing for the piece you are considering — that is the authoritative version for your country and your order. Listings are set up to post within the United States, and international shipping is available on request — ask before you buy and we will arrange it for the piece you want. Because every piece is one of a kind and cannot be reordered, we would always rather answer a question first: ask us anything about condition, size, or fit and we will check the actual item by hand.

Store it dry and out of direct light, keep it away from household chemicals and swimming pools, and clean it gently with a soft cloth. Be cautious with polishes and dips on older pieces: patina in the recesses of stamped or oxidised work is part of the design, and stripping it flattens the detail the silversmith cut in.

Yes. We buy estate and collection pieces, including single items and whole estates, with a particular interest in Southwestern silver, signed designer work, and antique jewelry.

Often, yes. Stock turns over constantly and we see far more than reaches the site. The sourcing form walks through what we need to know — the kind of piece, era, tribe or artisan, stone, and budget — and most of it is optional, so answer what you know and skip the rest.
