Frequently Asked Questions
Because asking questions is how we learn :)
What types of items do you offer?
Our vintage collection is everexpanding. Currently we have vintage jewellery, bags, scarves, ties, hats, clothing and other accessories. The main focus is however always the vintage (deadstock) jewellery. All of our items are hand-selected to ensure they are unique and of high quality.
What does the term 'deadstock' mean?
Deadstock jewelry is vintage jewelry that has never been used or sold. It is often leftover stock from a store and has been stored for decades in garages, attics and stores. At Lost And Vintage, we specialize in finding deadstock jewelry and making it available to our customers.
What materials are the jewelry made from?
The material of our jewelry varies and is often unknown. Many of our items do not have the original packaging, even deadstock items often won't have a wrapping. However, whenever we do have information on the material, we will mention it. Please refer to our return policy should discoloration or other issues arise after receiving an item.
Why do you replace the original earring hooks with new ones?
We replace the original vintage earring hooks because they were produced during a time when nickel-free options were not commonly prioritized. As someone who is sensitive to various types of metals, I want to ensure the best possible experience for you. While the metal components of necklaces and other jewelry cannot always be altered, I can make this improvement with earrings. Rest assured, I always use hooks that match the original color to maintain the authentic vintage look. Additionally, many of these earrings are deadstock, meaning you are the first to wear them. This way, you can enjoy wearing these beautiful vintage pieces comfortably and safely.
I have some vintage items that I want to donate or sell. Do you also buy items?
Yes, we do! We accept items that fall within the categories of the products that we already sell. We are always and ever looking for never used vintage items, for example left over stock from a store. But don't hesitate to shoot us a message if you have something else available. The items that are donated to us and we cannot use, we donate to people in need (if it can be reused, it will never end up in the bin).
