NOTES ON TIE CLIPS AND ACCESSORIES: Cufflink sets were common gifts in the first half of the 1900s. And they were often sold in sets that included the cufflinks and a tie accessory. However, as the 50s and 60s progressed, the cufflinks were not as often worn as the tie clip or accessory, and so the tie accessory was separated from the links or completely worn out or lost. So, finding a set that includes a tie clip, or finding a tie clip to match a pre-1970 set of cufflinks is somewhat rare. If you see a pair of cufflinks offered with a tie accessory and you like the design, consider yourself lucky and snap them up!

INITIAL AND NAME JEWELRY: Initial jewelry was popular from about 1930 to 1970, and can be found with one, two, or even three initials. Also, in the 1960s, some companies even began producing men's accessories with full names on them. My two cents worth? If you find a set with your last initial, strongly consider purchasing it if you like it. If it has your first and last initial, that's a pretty rare match. Three initials or your full first name? The stars are perfectly aligned for you and it's just meant to be! And for all these examples if it is a cufflink and tie accessory set, you really can't go wrong! As a friend advises, if it's your name or initial, you probably won't see it again!

CONDITION GUIDE FOR MY DESCRIPTIONS: Perfect/New/Mint in Box: The item and or piece of jewelry has no visible flaws and no signs of wear or use. Excellent: The item and or piece of jewelry has evidence of wear. Very Good: The item and or piece of jewelry has small flaws that are not usually noticeable during wear. These flaws could include light scratches on the surfaces of imitation pearls, light scuffs on rhinestones, or light marks on the metal's finish. Good: The item and or piece of jewelry is completely wearable with working hardware. However, the rhinestones may be yellowing or beginning to turn gray (dark spots are visible when you are looking into the stone). Wear may be more visible, and there may be light chipping. Fair/Poor: The item and or piece of jewelry has visible damage that may include dark stones, missing stones, or broken parts. This item should be considered for repair or restoration purposes only.

REMEMBER: You are buying a vintage item. Even for items I indicate are in ‘perfect/mint/new/Mint in box, there still may be some minor scratches or other issues when the item is examined very closely. Most items in my shop are 40 to 60 years old, with many even older. They will have some ‘acquired character'. Also, even if I indicate the original box is present, the condition of that box may not be very good, particularly the exterior.
PHOTOS: I try to get sufficient pictures, of good quality, that allow you order to see the details, construction, condition, and color of the items I list. However, with gold tone and silver tone items, by their very nature, it is difficult to capture the ‘exact shade' of their color. Compounding that issue is the difficulty of photographing certain rhinestones and crystals. Many will flash a variety of colors or have a luminescence that is hard to capture. In those cases, I try to indicate that in my description.
