Antique & Vintage Cameos  


On this page you will find additional information about your jewelry selection. They will be sure to inspire a sense of nostalgia. Remember that Victorian, vintage & Estate jewelry are one of a kind and subject to availability.

I personally stand behind all my merchandise and offer a money back guaranty, for any reason that you are not satisfied (see terms under order information). Every item is closely inspected for any defects and is then carefully packaged.

In my antique, vintage and estate jewelry all gems have been tested to determine natural, synthetic or imitations. Items without an identifiable hallmark are acid tested for gold and metal content. In the description of each of these items it will state any of the above applicable information only when the jewelry is in less than good condition or if the gemstones are not natural.

Gold alloy & metals disclosure for the filigree 'made to order' line: 'gold & platinum reproduction jewelry page'.
The 14k white gold used is a low nickel content alloy which is less brittle and  more flexible to work with on intricate filigree designs. In it's unfinished state it is a soft white color with a slight yellow tint. We do rhodium plate all white gold finished jewelry if you order your mounting to be set with a stone or sized by us. On mountings ordered without stones or sizing the plating will not be applied, but can be done by the jeweler who will be doing the finish work  Rhodium plating will also wear off in time but can easily and inexpensively be re-applied as needed.

In platinum, 950 Platinum/cobalt alloy is used it is best for color & casting characteristics.

Although not a listed option most mountings can be cast in 14k red gold. The color of the alloy is a rose/pink gold color.

Disclosure of Gemstone Treatments:
Enhancement is defined as any treatment process other than cutting and polishing that improves the appearance, durability, or availability of a gemstone. A large portion of colored gemstones on the market today have undergone some form of treatment. These enhancement processes are permanent, stable and safe, and do not affect the quality and in most instances the value of the gemstone. In fact, often with such enhancement processes, like heating, the natural beauty of the stone is much improved. We will make note of any stone treated by a non-industry accepted manner or if the treatment or process is not permanent.

The AGTA Gemstone Enhancement Manual has an extensive list of gems, their common enhancements, and durability of enhancements. In posting this informative link we are not implying an association or membership with the AGTA.
