All of my items belonged to my family, mother, step-mother and father.  I am downsizing as I am not getting any younger and have a life-time of collecting in jewellery and collectables to rehome.  I do hope you will find something to your taste.

This auction is for a propelling pencil I have had looked at my an antique expert who informs me it is solid silver (no marks).  It has an orange Citrine stone on the end and this is in good condition - no chips.  Across this stone it measures, 8mm including the silver sides.  The pencil is mechanical and measures, 83mm long.  Weight, 5.1grams.  This item can be posted for the UK Large Letter and I have reduced the postal costs accordingly.

You have several choices of postal rate please remember that if you want insured post to make sure you select the rate that has this included.

50p has to be added towards wrapping the items otherwise they could get damaged.  I do not make a profit from postage please check the prices for yourself on the Royal Mail website. 

50p extra for each auction win will be added in combined post to help with weight and packaging.  I am unable to offer a free service for combined any more.  The £150 spend free insured post is still in place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Only Special Delivery for the UK and Airsure for International buyers carries insurance for jewellery.  If you choose not to pay for insurance then your item is not insured against loss and it would be unfair to try and claim from the seller.  I have to point this out because many people think all items are insured in the UK and International posts - this is not so.  Please check further on the Royal Mail webside for complete confidence that the correct post has been selected by you.

 
  • Items will be sent sensitively wrapped according to the needs of the item.
I will only combine in a 7 day period and if not combining please pay within 3 days of auction ending.

  • WHEREVER YOU LIVE - you will only pay one post on my site and that is the most expensive and post is free after spending £100.  Items must be on one invoice and payment within 7 days please.

Please satisfy yourself before buying by studying the pictures and asking questions.

All weights of items and carat weight of stones is approximate.  Items are shown larger to display the item fairly for its quality as well as to highlight any defects.


"Today hallmarking is governed by the Hallmarking Act of 1973, which has simplified them and made them easier to understand.  The Act came into force on 1 January 1975 and governs the hallmarking of silver, gold and platinum at the four UK assay offices 0 London, Birmingham, Sheffield and Edinburgh.  The main points to note are:

  • Hallmarks must now consist of a maker's (or sponsor's) mark, the standard mark, the assay mark and the date letter. (Edinburgh uses the lion rampant for sterling silver.)
  • All silver items weighing more than 7.8g must be hallmarked (1g for gold, 0.5g for platinum.)"

I AM ONE OF THE 'GOOD GUYS'

Please read my feedbacks, I am proud of them.

Serious bidders please who are Ebay registered only and willing to abide by my terms and conditions. All measurements and weights are approximate. I do not guarantee that stones in jewellery are original to that piece of jewellery; but I do guarantee that all stones are present unless stated otherwise. Please remember old glues are not super glues; do not use spirit cleaners or soak in soapy water as this will loosen stones. NEVER put soft stones like Opals or Pearls into spirit or soapy cleaner far better to get them professionally cleaned by your local jeweller.  I also always recommend a complete clean and service for watches.

BUSINESS SELLERS: It is fine for you to resell my items. It is not fine for you to use my pictures or descriptions. This is illegal and against Ebay selling rules.
