We happily offer easy layaway options for our customers. Please contact us via phone or email if you're interested in making a layaway purchase. A down payment of 20% of the original price must be made to initiate the layaway, and the purchase must be paid in full within 90 days from the original payment date. If payment is not made in full within 90 days, the item will be returned to stock, and your deposit and payments will become a store credit.

RETURNS ON LAYAWAYS

We do allow returns on layaways, but unlike our regular return guarantee, we do not issue a full refund as we are holding an item aside for a length of time. A store credit, which is good indefinitely, is issued for the full paid amount (less any applicable shipping costs). In addition, if for any reason the layaway is not paid in full and/or completed on time, the merchandise will be returned to stock. The amount of 25% of the original purchase price is charged as a restocking fee, and any remaining funds are returned to the customer.

  

GENERAL CARE

All fine jewelry should be cared for properly, especially vintage and antique pieces. Due to their age, many antique and vintage pieces can be more delicate and fragile than modern jewelry. Many of our pieces were hand made by skilled craftsmen over 100 years ago and because of this, they should worn gently. Proper care of your jewelry will allow you to wear it happily while reducing the risk of damage.

Please always remove your jewelry when:

• Exercising, or doing any strenuous activity
• Showering, bathing, swimming, or washing hands
• Gardening or working with tools
• Cleaning, cooking, or doing dishes
• Sleeping

In addition, please avoid subjecting your jewelry to potential high impact or pressure. Although gemstones and metal are very hard materials, it is always possible to chip, scuff, lose, or crack the setting/stones if you accidentally hit it in the wrong place or angle.

 

REPAIRS + WARRANTY

A. Brandt + Son covers the cost of repairs under normal wear for the first six months after purchase. If the jewelry item is noticeably bent, damaged or shows improper care, we will repair the piece at cost to the customer. Additionally, we offer cleaning and stone-tightening free of charge. After the first six months, the customer will be charged for all repairs.

We stand behind every piece of merchandise that we sell. If you are not 100% happy with your purchase, or if you have any reservations about it, please contact us! We can work to resolve your issues, or issue a refund on returned purchases. Please keep in mind that all returns must be received within 7 days for a full refund. Also, please not that if any jeweler/mechanic other than A. Brandt + Son makes any alterations or repairs to your jewelry, the warranty will be voided. We have a very skilled jewelry mechanic who specializes in the care and restoration of antique and vintage jewelry. If you have a repair or alteration that you wish to have done to the item(s) that you purchased from us, we ask that you contact us firsthand so that we can have our skilled mechanic do the work. If you choose to take it to your personal jeweler, you may do so at your discretion. However, we unfortunately can not accept returns or issue refunds of any kind if the piece has been altered by another jeweler or damaged in the process.

 

COMPLIMENTARY RING SIZING

We are happy to offer a one-time complimentary ring sizing for all rings above $500, rings under $500 the cost of sizing is $25.00. When purchasing through our website, please provide the desired ring size in the notes section or simply call us at 610.617.0993 or email us at abrandtandson@gmail.com. As noted previously, if you decide to have the ring sized by another jeweler, we unfortunately can not offer a refund if the piece has been damaged. If you wish to have additional ring size adjustments made after the initial complimentary resizing, please contact us, as we can arrange to have it by our skilled jeweler at a competitive price.

 

WEBSITE TERMS & CONDITIONS

We strive to provide clear and accurate jewelry descriptions for each and every item. Please read the "Condition" section of each jewelry description prior to purchase, as part of your due diligence. Stone carat weights stated represent approximate weights which can vary up to 10% unless otherwise noted. Any ruby, sapphire or emerald sold by A. Brandt + Son is sold under the assumption that such precious stone has undergone some type of clarity or color enhancement, unless it is sold accompanied with a certificate from a gemological laboratory stating otherwise. Due to the age, antique and vintage jewelry is often not perfect, and may have normal signs of surface wear, or small imperfections due to its hand crafted rather than mass-manufactured nature. This is what makes each piece special and unique! Please keep in mind that all merchandise is sold "as is". If there is any notable damage besides normal wear, we will disclose it.
