Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are your items new or pre-owned?

Gemarie specializes in carefully curated jewelry and accessories. Unless otherwise stated in the product description, our vintage and antique pieces are considered pre-owned/used. These treasures have lived previous lives and may show normal signs of age, wear, or use that add to their unique character.

Will my vintage item look brand new?

No. Vintage and pre-owned items are not expected to be in brand-new condition. We do our best to photograph and describe each item accurately, including any noticeable flaws or wear.

Are the measurements exact?

Measurements and weights are approximate and may vary slightly due to the measuring method or the unique shape of each item.

How do I know if an item will fit me?
