Please READ CAREFULLY all the information in this posting before purchasing. Please view photos and evaluate for yourself.  Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have. I look forward to earning your business by providing accurate listings of quality items at affordable prices.
SHIPPING:
I ship within the USA only without exceptions. I do not ship internationally due to the high cost of shipping and insurance.
PAYMENT:
Payment is expected on the same day as the purchase. I accept PayPal only, and only from confirmed addresses.
RETURNS:
I may offer returns in some instances but please let me know immediately if a return is necessary.  Please ask questions and view photos as returns are an inconvenience for both buyer and seller.  If the item does not work out, returns are possible.
HOWEVER, no returns will be accepted on the claim of fake precious metals or diamonds, as my testing equipment rules out that possibility.
In the unlikely event that an item arrives damaged or in any condition different than I described or photographed it, please contact me immediately so we can resolve it.
PRECIOUS METALS AND JEWELRY:
All of my precious metal items are verified for metal content using an extremely accurate and regularly serviced
Fischer X-ray fluorescence spectrometer
.
I will never sell any items without confirming that the purity of the metal is as described
.
Occasionally I may sell a vintage or handcrafted item that is not stamped as to the purity of the metal used. In these cases please be assured that the items have undergone XRF analysis and are listed according to the test results.
If I say an item is gold/platinum/silver etc, I am absolutely certain of it.
COINS:
In addition to XRF testing, any coins I sell, whether raw or graded, have also been tested with a
Sigma Metalytics Coin Verifier
. I will not attach my own grade to coins I sell. I try to put up good pictures and allow the buyer to decide the grade.
DIAMONDS:
All of my diamonds have been closely examined by me, and secondarily have ALL been tested with a Presidium Adamas diamond tester.
I also use a Presidium Synthetic Diamond Screener to test for lab-created/CVD/HPHT diamonds. If I give a grade for a diamond, I try to be conservative to ensure you get a good value.
I will not sell any imitation or fake diamonds, diamond substitutes, lab-created, or whatever you may call them
.
PRECIOUS/SEMI PRECIOUS STONES:
This is not my area of expertise. I try to identify these stones to the best of my ability when possible with the assistance of a
Gemlogis GemoLog Color Stone Gem Tester
, but I can not verify their authenticity, origin, quality, treatments, or other characteristics at this time.
MEASUREMENTS:
Any listed weights were obtained with a
Mettler Toledo
scale and are accurate to within 0.1 grams or 0.005 troy ounces. The size of mounted diamonds is estimated conservatively based on measurable dimensions.
CONDITION:
All of my jewelry items are pre-owned. Most will show only minor signs of wear such as light superficial scratches. Please take a good look at the photos and judge condition for yourself. All pieces are sold AS-IS with no guarantee as to their durability. However, I closely examine all my items and will not sell anything that I suspect is damaged or defective.
FEEDBACK
:
I am new to selling, so feedback is very important to me and I will do my best to earn the highest rating on every transaction. If there are any unforeseen issues, please contact me prior to leaving feedback so that I can have a chance to correct the problem. In addition, if you do not feel like you can leave 5 stars in all of the rating sections, please let me know so that I fix what you did not like.
THANK YOU!!!
