- What is your jewelry all about?
- Here at Asti Antiques, we specialize in fine antique jewelry. We love it and our inventory is extensive! We guarentee each piece of jewelry to be authentic and genuine.
We prefer whenever possible not to remove the original stones from our rings and have therefore evaluated given stones based on their presence within a setting. We will guarantee each stone, evaluate its size, color, and clarity based on its presence within a setting; an honest but brief evaluation will be given of each diamond.
CT weight will always be estimated based on mm size, shape, height of crown, & depth of pavillion. Other specifications will be listed in special cases: special cuts, extra fiery and charismatic diamonds, etc.
NOTE: Montior settings and lighting can effect gemstone and diamond coloring, so be sure to use our descriptions as further guides. You should expect slight wear on estate pieces; any significant damage will be noted in the listing.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us!
- Is all your lighting old?
- Yes! We have a fond love of antique lighting, and that is actually how we got into the business. We take great pride in our lamps to insure quality and safety. At times a lamp may come to us without a shade and a new one may be added. If this is the case, we will say so! Otherwise, all parts are authentic and old.
We rewire most of our lighting with updated extra long cloth cord to be in keeping with the antique style but also to insure your safety. We want you to feel comfortable keeping your lamps lit! We also clean the ‘innards’ our lighting extensively and strive to keep all switches and plugs intact as to not detract any value with brand new plugs, etc.
If you have any other questions about the lighting we have, feel free to ask! Also, if you are looking for something special, drop an email. Our inventory in lighting is vast.
