Where the transaction happens

This site is our catalogue. It is not a checkout. Every purchase is completed on our Etsy shop, and the "Purchase on Etsy" button on each piece takes you there.

That means, for any order you place:

• Payment is processed by Etsy. Your card details are never entered on this site and never reach us.
• Etsy's buyer protection, dispute process, and order history apply to your purchase.
• Shipping estimates and delivery are governed by the terms on that listing at checkout.
• Order messages are best sent through Etsy, so they stay attached to the order.

We are an independent shop. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of Etsy — we sell through their marketplace like thousands of other small sellers.

What we collect, and what we don't

Only two things on this site send us anything:

• The contact and sourcing forms. We keep what you type — your name, email, and your message or request — so we can reply and so a request isn't lost. Nothing more.
• Basic traffic data. Which pages get visited, and roughly where visits come from, so we know which parts of the catalogue are worth expanding.

And plainly:

• We do not sell, rent, or share your details with anyone.
• We do not add you to a mailing list because you used a form. If we email you, it is a reply.
• We do not run advertising trackers or retargeting pixels on this site.
• Ask us to delete what you have sent and we will — just say so.

Anything you do on Etsy — accounts, orders, payment, their own cookies — is covered by Etsy's privacy policy rather than this one.

How we verify what we sell

Before a piece is listed:

• Hallmarks and maker's marks are examined and identified where the mark allows it. Where a mark is worn, ambiguous, or absent, the listing says so rather than guessing.
• Silver content is tested rather than assumed. A piece is described as sterling only when it is marked and consistent with testing.
• Condition is described as found. Vintage jewelry has wear, and we would rather you saw it in the photographs than discovered it in the post. Natural patina is preserved, not polished away.
• Attribution is conservative. We would rather describe a piece as unattributed than attach a maker's name it cannot carry.
