A quick note on shipping.

Shipping and insurance are free! I can't purchase postage online for items that need insurance over $500, so I hand write those. I try to end my auctions on Sunday night and I ship out on Monday morning. If you haven't recieved your item, send me and email and I can give you the tracking numbers. Every item I ship requires a signature, and your item may be waiting at the post office for you.

A quick note on my item descriptions.

I try and keep my listings "fluff free". Unless i've grown very attached to a piece, or if I drink wine when i'm listing, my item descriptions are pretty much just the facts. You, as the buyer, can decide how fabulously beautiful something is. It's my job to provide good pictures and thorough descriptions.

Appraisals and sizing.

I don't offer appraisals with my auctions. It's in the buyers best interest to have an independent valuation of an item. I also don't like auctions that offer over inflated appraisals on their jewelry. I think it's cheesy and insulting. That said, I do stand behind my diamond grades and my gemstone identification. If the item is a ring, I will state in the auction if it can be sized. We don't offer sizing, which helps us keep our cost down and allows us to offer auctions at no reserve.
