Description: RETIRED ** SILPADA ****~ STERLING SILVER ~**~* PUFFY HEART & BALL BEAD *~** ATTACHED PENDANT & SNAKE NECKLACE CHAIN **Made In Italy _______________________________ SIZE: Please note that this pendant and ball bead pieces are permanently attached to the necklace chain ~ That said, the necklace itself appears to be a wearable length of 15" from end to end (Note: This is relatively small and would probably best fit a petite neck) ~ The puffy heart pendant measures about 3/8" in width; 1/4" in height (tiny loop would add another 1/8" inch or so). The ball beads around about 1/8" x 1/8" each (total of 4 of these) and the flat-style beads are about 1/16" x 1/8" ~ Approximate weight is light at about: 4.8 grams. DESCRIPTION: This auction features a retired Silpada brand sterling silver necklace chain and attached pendant and ball beads. The chain appears to be a snake style, and the ball beads and puffy heart pendant are all attached. There are a total of four small ball beads, two flat-style beads, and one small puffy heart pendant. All of these pieces are meant to be the focal point of the pendant and should sit at the middle of the throat when the necklace is worn. It bears a lobster style clasp closure and a small oval tag attached by the closure piece. This is marked with, " 925, ITALY" on one side, and the older Silpada hallmark which look similar to this "*>>". It is marked with "925" and "Italy" on the end pieces of the necklace chain, as well. It would be a wonderful piece for someone who enjoys older Silpada jewelry and necklaces. If anyone has any additional questions, please feel free to drop me a line and I will be happy to help. Thank you! CONDITION: FAIR ~ I am considering the age and use of this item when factoring the condition rating. This necklace and pendant appears to be in Fair condition for the age and use of it. I did note the usual surface scratches -- which do not to be too unusual for the age and use of it. The small beads and heart do move around a bit on the chain -- but this does appear to be intentional and the way it was made. There is some very minor tarnishing to the beads and heart, but I will leave any cleaning or polishing to the new owner. The lobster claw style clasp does still open and close securely, as well. I do feel it's doing quite well with all things considered. If there is anything you feel that I may have missed where the condition is concerned, please feel free to message me and I'll be happy to help. With age and use considered, I would still say this pendant rates in Fair condition overall. AGE/YEAR MADE: Although exact is unknown, an educated guess would be from the 1990s. ——————————— ** IMPORTANT INFORMATION: PLEASE READ! **~ GENERAL ~*** I do my very best to accurately describe the items I sell her on eBay; listing their imperfections as much as their attributes. I always note flaws so there are no surprises when an item is received. The items I offer are nearly always used, though, and therefore are not in, "mint" condition. In fact, I never use the word mint to describe an item. With that said, please do not misunderstand my sometimes low opening bids. They almost never truly reflect the actual value of any item. In fact, they are priced in such a way because I like to keep with the fun and excitement of an actual auction.~ PAYMENT & SHIPPING ~*** I kindly ask that payment for purchase(s) be made within 5 days of the close of the auction. Occasionally, I will offer a "Buy It Now" option: in those cases, payment is due as soon as the "Purchase Now" button is chosen. An automatic NPB (Non-Paying Bidder) notification will be sent after the 5th day if payment is not received. Paypal is currently the only form of payment I accept. I am more than happy to combine shipping on items, please just contact me prior to the auction's end. I can then send a combined invoice which will save you some money and me some time! :) Where shipping is concerned, I do my very best to ship items within 1-2 business day after payment is received. ~ PURCHASES & RETURNS ~*** I strive to make your buying experience with me as excellent as I can. With that said, please contact me if you are unhappy! I will do everything possible to correct the problem. On nearly all of my items, if you are dissatisfied with your purchase, you are welcome to return it for a full refund within two weeks (14 days) from the day it was received. Return shipping will be paid by the buyer, though. In certain cases, I may sell an item for a close friend of family member that does not belong to me. Those are usually the only instances that I do not allow returns. I figure, if the item does not belong to me, I should allow that decision to be made by the person who does own it. ~ SORRY, I NO LONGER SHIP INTERNATIONALLY! ~
