It is not in new condition nor is it mint. We have not cleaned, repaired, or polished it.  It is sold 'as is.'    My jewelry is not the least expensive on this site.  However they are original items, NEVER reproductions except on rare occasions and then they are plainly stated as such.  Please be aware that much jewelry listed on-line as being “vintage” or “antique” is not necessarily so. My prices, while much, much lower than you would find in a bricks and mortar store, more realistically reflect the cost of genuine antiques.  And please remember that gold is $900-plus an ounce these days.   I only accept PayPal. You may contact me regarding a check or money order, but I really prefer PayPal.   $2.95 postage and insurance. Please visit my store for jewelry, music, and movies. Check out my other items!
