Wearable Wounded |
| This section features vintage jewelry that shows its age, has suffered a bit with the passage of time and previous ownership, has been repaired, or could use a little TLC (tender loving care) and understanding.
The flaws, repairs or defects are described completely; in most cases these pieces are still wearable and/or can be restored. They are still beautiful and are offered at substantially lower prices than if they were in otherwise good to excellent condition. This is a great opportunity to own lovely vintage jewels at bargain prices if you can live with less-than-good condition. Please read the condition notes carefully as items in this section are sold 'as is'. |
| Click on picture for larger view and detailed description including size and condition info. I'm happy to take additional pictures, i.e. back view or close-up, please don't hesitate to request. |
