Vintage M&S Gold-Filled Art Deco Rhinestone Gen. Pearl Brooch Jewelry Lot 2 pcs.

Description

ebay lot 68-9.   I seem to be on an Art Deco kick lately--The first brooch in this lot is gold filled, Art Deco, has the maker's mark M&S,and as you can see in the pictures, the clear rhinestones all have a slight bit of darkening--the 7th picture had the best light, and most accurately shows what the brooch looks like--the stones are not nearly so dark as what the first several pictures appear. The gold fill really keeps the surface of the metal very nice on the front--the back (on the back side of the "ribbon" and bow has some patina, as though the gold fill was not there in some places--gold does not tarnish--it does mellow with age and use.  The second brooch is gold-tone, not hallmarked, has tiny turquoise glass beads in the center of the unusual sun-flower, with a genuine pearl adorning the stem--this brooch is in excellent condition, 2 1/2 inches tall by 1 1/4 inches wide.
All items, upon sale, are individually wrapped, packaged securely to avoid damage during shipping, then  shipped via USPS First Class mail.  Insurance is included in the shipping and handling fees. We appreciate it if you pay within two days after the auctions' end, and we will ship your item within one business day of receiving payment.   We want to hear from you if there is a problem with your order.  We want to keep our customers happy with their orders, so we work hard to resolve any issue that arises.  Happy bidding, and if you check out our other items on ebay, you may just find something else you cannot live without!  In that case, you are in luck, as we offer combined shipping on all multiple purchases.
All vintage items will sustain a normal amount of wear, due to the passage of time--even an unused item can age  due to factors such as temperature, humidity, and handling.  Items listed as in great to excellent vintage condition will not necessarily look like new, and unless I state that an item is in pristine or mint condition, you will expect to see some indication that an item is not new. If I can tell that a repair has been made, I will tell you in the listing.  Do not expect complete perfection unless that is expressly stated.  Also, if you are bidding or planning to bid on more than one item to take advantage of the great savings in shipping costs, you will need to contact me to let me know.  I am happy to combine shipping separate lots, but I am not a mind reader, nor is it easy to tell, unless the bidding is ended, whether a buyer is involved in more than one bid, unless they are winning. I will allow a limit of up to 14 days as a cutoff for combining lots, to help you save money on shipping charges as well as to help me save money on packaging and materials.  I am striving towards a goal of excellence in customer service, and I just ask that you help me make that possible.  I will do my best.
