Provenance & authenticity
Every piece is checked for maker’s marks, construction and materials before we list it. Anything we cannot attribute with certainty we sell as unsigned — never as designer.
Shipping & returns
Free worldwide shipping on orders over € 100. Shipped with PostNL, insured and with track & trace.
30 days to change your mind. If you send a piece back, please use the original packaging.
Caring for vintage jewelry
Vintage jewelry lasts longest when kept dry and stored separately. Put it on last and take it off first: perfume, hairspray and skin cream all attack the plating.
Polish only with a soft, dry cloth. No water, no soap and no silver polish — that strips the layer off.
