Condition

All of our items are pre-owned and, as you may see, some have been very, very loved. We do our best to describe and picture any potential wear or concerns, but we are not experts. We also try to photograph colors accurately, but colors may vary depending on buyers' screen settings, the use of blue light filters, or visual impairments. On our part, we use a Digital Kolor Card Pro to check the color accuracy of our photos against the physical products. Photos may be adjusted for brightness, but we do not apply any filters to our photos.

Before purchasing any item, please read the description in its entirety, review all pictures closely, and review our store policies. If you desire more information about an item, please contact us at pinyonpinesgallery@gmail.com.

Silver and Stone Care

When you receive a jewelry item from us, you may notice that we do not remove the natural patina. It takes many, many years for silver to get its beautiful patina, which many collectors greatly value. Because of this, we only lightly clean items that you will find both on our website and at in-person events.

If you wish to clean your item beyond what we have done, please consider the following advice.

• Only use a silver polishing cloth to clean your sterling silver.
• Never use chemicals to clean your silver, especially if your item has stones. Chemicals can alter, discolor, or even destroy the beautiful stones.
• Never use ultrasonic cleaners or similar machines to clean your silver, especially if your item has stones. The force of these machines can dislodge the stones—some of which are supported by sawdust or other such materials to give stones height in their settings.
• Never wear your jewelry when washing your hands, bathing, swimming, or other such actions where the jewelry will get wet as this can also loosen or alter the stones.
• When in doubt about how to care for your item, seek advice from professionals. 

Note: We are not silversmiths or jewelers, so we recommend you speak with a local jeweler should you need detailed care instructions, professional cleaning, or repairs.
