Condition Terminology Defined

Mint: Item was never used and is still in its original packaging.

Near Mint: Item shows no visible signs of wear and either may or may not be enclosed in its original packaging.

Excellent: Item has minor imperfections or age appropriate signs of wear such as light surface scuffing and other minor abrasions, minimal plate loss to metal that is not readily visible, minute loss of foil backing to stones, minor fleabites to rhinestone, crystal, or glass bead edges.

Very Good: Item has readily visible signs of wear such as darkened stones, scratches, etc.

While we make a concerted effort to describe items in detail, vintage merchandise by definition, more often that not, isn't perfect (i.e., mint). So, if absolute perfection is the objective, then vintage is not appropriate for you. But, if you are looking for items of distinction that offer character and style, then we are a perfect match!
