About Us

Aaralyn's Velvet Dragonfly

Vintage Jewelry

We have a beautiful array of vintage earrings, bracelets, necklaces, chokers, and watches. We have a wonderful selection of demi parures (sets) of jewelry that range from perfect for the office, to exotic enough for your upcoming winter cruise!

~~~~~


We have noticed that SOME collectors refuse to handle vintage merchandise if it has ANY flaws of any sort...depending on the item, it's rarity, the current demand, AND the condition, we do handle SOME collectible pieces that are less than perfect.

We always describe each of our authentic vintage pieces in detail, and provide loads of photographs, as well. In addition, we will happily send extra jpg photos via email to clients with more specific questions.

Now, especially, "vintage," "vintage look," and "vintage inspired" is "in" in a big way! Look in practically any shop that carries only NEW merchandise, and you'll see clothing, furnishings, ANYthing and EVERYthing made and marketed as "vintage"!

As with all good VINTAGE merchandise, our inventory values go UP rather than decline with time. We are in an interesting marketing situation, as age is an attribute, rather than a scourge! So we rarely run around and mark down an item if its been here for a month, or a quarter, or even for years! We're not in rush to "get rid" of our inventory...we don't need to sell "XXXXXX" dollars to pay the rent...these are COLLECTIBLES, that we treasure, and that our clients treasure, as well!

Occasionally we have a curious shopper who requests that we discount an item BECAUSE they've noticed it in our online shop for a while, or question why an item that they've been watching will RISE in price, rather than go down...this is the awesome nature of vintage collectibles and antiques!...and as much as we're THRILLED that trends come (sleek vintage fraternity & sorority pins & lavalieres) and go (Madonna style poppet pearls), once a virgin second-hand shopper owns quality vintage goods with one-of-a-kind personalities, they understand how enchanting, clever and exciting our world is!

If you're thinking that a price is a bit steep on an item, please feel free to make an offer! We do have absolutely heart-breaking-ly wonderful pieces that we have totally fallen in love with...and therefore find it really difficult to part with... so, sometimes we price with emotion (research-based, of course, but emotion, none the less!), rather than a mathematically strict marketing formula.

All that being said, please notice that

WE DO CONSIDER ALL OFFERS!!
And will either accept or counter, depending on the item, and the offer.


~~~~~

We do not have a brick and mortar shop, we work out of our home, so we do not list our address, thank you for understanding. If you'd like to stop by in person some time to check out a specific item, though, email us, and we'll try to set up a time when it would be convenient for you to come by.

~~~~~

We pack all of our jewelry items in white cotton filled boxes, suitable for gift giving.
