These are simple but stunning aquamarine and silver earrings. Most of the jewelry I sell is purchased as pre-loved and I think this history adds to the beauty of each piece. This means there will be tarnish, scratches, dings and dents that are inevitable with worn jewelry. I have placed backs on earrings that are missing and cleaned those that are very dirty but sometimes a little patina adds charm. Each sterling piece of jewelry gets a small black tab in its packing which is Intercept that helps to keep tarnish to a minimum. I hope you enjoy vintage jewelry as much as I do!
