About Our Collection
It's true. I won't try to deny it any longer, I am a "Collector" in every sense of the word, especially when it comes to the world of Antiques and Vintage.... It is time I passed some of these treasures along their way to some fabulous new homes! From gorgeous old 18k Gold Bookchain necklaces to my charm collection - there's something for everyone.
I have pieces in my collection that I have found in Arizona, Greece, Italy, France or who knows where else, that sometimes eventually work their way into my shop to be passed on to the next soul it touches. I believe that one of the most important aspects of being a great Collector is knowing when it is time to let something move along on its journey.
That being said I have a good deal of original antique pieces from the Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian Eras. Many of these items are sold "as is" and some I can offer upgrades and other options. Many have been reconstructed and recycled into a great deal of my Ouroboros Original Designs. Due to the age of these Antique pieces, there have been some repairs and conversions done to them. That is extremely common for their age and is nothing to have concern about. I stand by my pieces 100% guaranteed so if anything were to need repair, we will provide that service free of charge.
One note on our Antique & Vintage Collections:
Each Antique item is unique and has had a life full of going wondrous places, lost in time to only be discovered again and ending up in your hand. However, these adventures across time can sometime cause wear and tear. This is completely normal for pieces of this age. A darkening is an natural oxidation or "patina" of Gold and Silver and it can be cleaned with a cleansing cloth or gently with a toothbrush and some dish soap. Otherwise you can take it to a professional jewelry cleaner near you if you are in need of something more harsh. Please don't use harsh house chemicals on any antique metals, especially those containing stones such as pearls, opal or turquoise.
