About Mayfair Estate & Antique Jewelry

Our Service Pledge

We want you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase and love your jewelry as much as we do. Because Antique & Vintage jewelry have a history and age, our jewelry may have imperfections, but we make sure to describe each piece carefully according to a jeweler's appraisal & will point out imperfections to you whenever I notice them. Our customers often comment about how their jewelry looks even better in person than online! If your purchase is not acceptable to you for any reason, you must notify us within 3 days of receiving the piece & return the item in the same condition as it was received by the buyer, at your cost & expense. Please note that layaway items are not returnable.

About Us

We hope you enjoy looking at these fine pieces as much as we have enjoyed collecting them. I am passionate about Antique & Estate Jewelry & only buy what I love. I personally hand select each piece and am very excited to be able to present them to you. We are proud to present our catalog of fine estate, vintage, and antique jewelry on Ruby Lane. We ship overnight, and you will usually receive your piece within 24-48 hours, weather dependent. Some people are hesitant about buying jewelry online. Check out our Trust Pilot 5 star reviews! But with our return policy & our guarantee that we want you to be totally 100% satisfied, you will be pleasantly surprised. Please remember that with estate and antique jewelry some pieces are 50 to over 100 years old, so those pieces may have slight imperfections, as they are used, or as we like to say, well-loved. And of course, due to the nature of antiques, nothing is ever totally perfect, but nearly perfect. And that doesn't stop over 500 happy shoppers from shopping with us on Ruby Lane!

Read a few notes from my customers. I love when they write back and tell me how they like their purchase:

I only have good experiences with Mayfair. This time, Barbara again promptly responded to my purchase order & shipped to me the beautiful earrings I purchased. If you are looking for jewelry items online & are worried about buying online, Mayfair will not disappoint you. This merchant is honest & reliable. I would not hesitate to buy from Barbara. Mayfair's jewelry is also beautiful & they have a lot to choose from. You will be spoiled for choice.

I have not often 'gushed' on a review. This review however definitely merits falling into the 'gush' category. As an older jewelry lover, it is so encouraging to be able to 'pack a wallop' with a simple ring. I am very pleased indeed.

I received my earrings from Barbara & they exceeded my expectations. They were exactly as described, but even more beautiful. Barbara was extremely helpful, even sent me a video of the earrings, arranged international shipping. They were here in less than a week. Will definitely be shopping at Mayfair again! W.A.L. 5/22

Just a note to say how much my wife loves her ring. She had been looking for quite a while for her 50th anniversary present. Thank you so much for such an easy & pleasant transaction!
