Guarantee
All items available for sale at Erie Basin are guaranteed to be as described, including their condition, approximate dates of manufacture, and descriptions of gemstones, metals, and any other materials.
We make every effort to ensure that our antique pieces are wearable and in good structural condition (taking special note of the security of gemstones) when sold. But due to the nature of antique jewelry, it must be sold as-is.
Please note that all jewelry—both antique and new—is susceptible to damage and requires preventative measures and periodic maintenance. Certain antique pieces require additional care, and we’re happy to discuss what pieces would be appropriate for your lifestyle. As a general rule, we discourage wearing all jewelry while swimming (because of the risk of loss), exercising, or moving heavy furniture.
