VINTAGE 800 SILVER KÖLN TRAVEL SHIELD CHARM
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
Behold, my vintage-loving comrades, we've got a treat from Köln (Cologne), Germany – a charm so cool, it practically screams "I've been places, darling." It's not just any charm; it's a vintage Köln enamel wonder, signed 800 REU on the back, which in the language of Silver purity means 80% pure Silver. That's like, almost all Silver, but not quite – we like to keep things interesting.
Now, a little FYI: this charm is rebelliously missing a jump ring. Fear not, a new one can be added for a teeny tiny fee. But hold your soldering irons, because we're not risking the enamel – it's like charm surgery, and we're not playing doctor without consent. If you're craving a jump ring fix, hit me up, and we'll make it happen.
Oh, and let's get all educational for a minute – hallmark stamps are like the secret language of Silver. Sterling Silver flaunts a proud 925, signifying a minimum of 92.5% silver. Now, our charm, the 800 Silver, is a bit more mysterious – it could have a dash of nickel in the mix. Nickel-sensitive folks take note – we've got metals with secrets.
Speaking of secrets, vintage Silver and enamel travel shield charms are like the hipsters of the charm world – highly collectable and effortlessly cool. They're the kind of charms that have stories, and passports stamped with memories. From British Zodiacs to city collections, they've seen it all. And guess what? There's a whole universe of these babies out there – in souvenir shops, antique havens, and the vast internet. Start with a few that tickle your fancy, and let the charm party begin!
Shipping: The Glamorous World of Parcel Patience
Alright, my fellow sparkle enthusiasts, let's talk dispatch and delivery. Picture this: I’m a one-woman powerhouse, working tirelessly to bring you the finest jewellery. I aim to dispatch your glittering goodies the same day (because I'm just that efficient). But here's the kicker—being a boutique operation, my stock is as limited as my patience for non-sparkly things. Most of my treasures are shipped from my legion of talented smiths and suppliers to me on order.
UK Domestic Shipping: Fast but Fashionably Late
For my lovely UK-based customers, your sparkles will typically waltz their way to you in about 5-7 business days. Quick, but not quite instant gratification. I’m not Amazon! Think of it as joyous anticipation before the big reveal!
International Shipping: The Waiting Game
For my fabulous international friends, I need you to channel your inner zen master. Shipping times can vary wildly, anywhere from 5 to 30 business days. Why? Because customs clearance is a thing. Patience, darling. Good things (and sparkly ones) come to those who wait.
The delivery time cannot be guaranteed during the Holiday season, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and at high-demand times. Any further delay at the destination countries is beyond my control. Buyers are responsible for any duties, customs charges, or VAT taxes that may occur.
Out of Stock? Not Out of Luck!
If the piece you’ve fallen in love with is out of stock, don’t fret! It’s available for order with a lead time of 4-10 weeks, depending on which of my brilliant suppliers is crafting your new favourite accessory. Just drop me a line about your heart's desire, and I’ll do my absolute best to meet your needs.
So, there you have it. Whether you’re waiting a few days or a few weeks, remember: great things (and truly fabulous jewellery) take time. Now, who’s ready to add a bit of sparkle to their life?
And if you're on the hunt for a specific shield to add to your collection, don't be shy – give me a shout. Charm collecting is not just a hobby; it's a lifestyle. Here's to vintage vibes and enamel adventures! 🌍💫 #VintageCharmAdventure #SilverSecrets #CharmCollectorChronicles
