Welcome


These treasures survived the fire intact. I have them here and can ship promptly if you buy them.

I'm offering for your consideration a beautiful old pair of unsigned earrings which were converted to pierced from screw backs long ago. The shape is called keystone. There is a hinge so they dangle nicely. The weight is wonderful in that they are easy on the ears, weighing 3 grams and 3.1 grams respectively, including the butterfly backs. These are a gorgeous old pair, dating probably to the 1950s, very elegant in form and the sort of thing you can wear every day, since they go with everything. They are in excellent vintage, collectible and wearable condition.

They measure 1-3/8" top to bottom and 11/16" at their widest. They hang 1-1/4" long. Unsigned and not marked for silver content which is usual for those times. They would be at least coin (.900) or sterling (.925) silver. Always appropriate and in the best of taste, a rare collectible very old find.  I bought the at high price from a top notch gallery and have always been thrilled to have them. I think you will be thrilled with them, too. They are classic very old pieces, perfectly constructed.

Yes, I sometimes can take reasonable offers.

I request payment by PayPal in two days, but planned in advance of purchase, alternate payment methods and time payments can generally be arranged.

I generally ship same day. Domestic: FREE expedited US shipping.

International buyers pay actual shipping cost if I’m shipping myself rather than using eBay’s Global Shipping service, and International buyers are responsible for any customs fees their own countries may apply. Please discuss changing shipping method prior to purchase. My shipping defaults to Express International, which is tracked and insured, but I can use Priority Mail International. It's less expensive and is also tracked. First Class International is no longer offered by the US Postal Service. I charge the actual shipping cost and since shipping to each country costs a different amount, I will charge a little extra and refund the exact difference once I can put your address in and print a shipping label. I am no longer shipping to Italy and China, but can make exceptions if you speak with me about it, especially if you are a prior customer.

I'm no longer accepting returns having refunded $1350 for a bracelet I never received. If I make a significant mistake in a listing I'll always give you a full refund. Returns must be in the same condition they were shipped. The 20% restocking fee may apply though never has to date. I care that you're happy and about my accuracy, and will always stand behind my work. My attributions are guaranteed for my lifetime.

When I include pages from published books in my listings it is in accordance with Fair Use Law, which permits the use of source material for discussion, reference, education and criticism.

Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target. All the books have errors, so in addition to counterchecking, I have developed some expertise over the years and I do care about getting it right, so as more information comes to light I update my listings and also get in touch with my previous buyers, to inform them of any changes in attributions. I am sincerely committed to ongoing accuracy.

Everything I sell comes from my personal collection or is something that I would include in my personal collection. Most pieces are museum worthy and gallery suitable, sold to you at great pricing. I vet every item carefully for quality and condition, and offer you the best. I want you to be able to rely on me for top quality, superb items that are often unique and rare examples of old antique vintage southwest, indian, native american and fine gold and gemstones, whether you're starting a collection or adding to one, or want something great to wear or gift. My goal is that all my buyers are delighted, that my special pieces find the right homes.
