ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Up for sale is an EXCEPTIONAL early necklace made by contemporary designer jeweler, Stephen Dweck. I have owned a lot of Dweck and sold a lot of his work when I worked at Neiman Marcus. This really is one of the nicest examples of his EARLY pieces that I've handled. This Asian motif necklace is 17 3/4" long and is approximately 3" wide in front. It is handcrafted from sterling silver and has dozens of carved amethyst stone beads and freshwater pearl accents. Each of the small clusters on this piece are in groups of 6 and after counting each section, I believe 2 small beads may be missing. Overall, it is in very good condition and is marked "Stephen Dweck" and "Sterling" on the hook style clasp. It weighs 408 grams.
This item and the majority of my new listings are from a major private LIFETIME collection I will be selling over the next year. Many of these pieces are hard to find so don't miss this opportunity.
***Please note that my camera is cobalt blue and often makes polished surfaces look dark due to the reflection on the metal surface.***
SHIPPING:
First class shipping, insurance, and handling in the US is $25. I am happy to ship multiple DOMESTIC auction wins in the same package at the actual cost plus insurance. International shipping is through ebay’s global shipping program. Unfortunately, international purchases do not qualify for combined shipping due to Ebay's shipping terms.
Items listed for $500 or more are often flagged by the Ebay Authentication department and will have a delayed delivery time. Submission to the authentication department is mandatory for both the buyer and the seller (me). Please account for this if buying for a gift or if needed by a particular date.
I try my best to wrap all items securely, and to ship in a timely fashion. Once the item is wrapped, a shipping label is created, and the tracking number is uploaded to ebay. I personally have my packages scanned by the post office before they obtain possession. Please refrain from asking for tracking information or for photos of the wrapping process as all of these requests delay the progress in shipping your item and others.
Please note that ground advantage shipping often takes longer than priority shipping. If you require an upgrade to priority, please let me know before paying. I’m happy to upgrade shipping at the actual cost to the buyer.
TAX:
Current tax laws have changed and ebay automatically charges tax on purchases in most US states. Please check your state laws and ebay to know if tax is charged on your purchase. Tax concerns are strictly between the buyer and ebay as I do not collect or receive funds for taxes collected. All items ship from Dallas, TX.
PAYMENT:
All payments should be received within 3 days of auction close. An unpaid item dispute automatically starts after 3 business days. If you are bidding on auctions that end on differerent days, I do request payment for the items that have sold. I will gladly set those items aside and combine shipment.
BUY IT NOW/MAKE OFFER OPTIONS:
I always consider FAIR offers on any item that has a “make offer” option. This does not mean that I accept offers on items that are in a current LIVE auction! Please do not ask me what my "best price" is for an item at auction. I will not respond.
