- Notes: This pendant has been very lovingly worn for decades prior to its procurement by the shop, and shows ample wear to the setting and stone, as pictured. By purchasing, the buyer acknowledges these described and photographed chips, abrasions and nibbles, and understands that such imperfections are echoes of the piece’s longtime dedicated enjoyment and the countless stories it holds. While the marks of time are charming in their own rights, the price has been fairly adjusted to reflect their presence, rendering this sizable diamond solitaire as a much more affordable option.

The Story:
A previously well-loved heirloom, this diamond solitaire slide pendant is as rich in character as it is in color. This pendant is designed in a classic style, with minimalism and easy elegance at the helm. Featuring a charming array of honey to brown to dark champagne-gray tonalities and a freckled inner appearance, this diamond is what is colloquially known in the industry as a “salt and pepper” diamond.
The freckles are specks of black carbon, which are naturally occuring inclusions that develop during the diamond’s growth approximately 100 miles below the earth’s surface over the course of an estimated 1 to 3 billion years. Their presence is an organic reminder of Mother Nature’s fingerprint on the mysterious cultivation of the beloved gem.
In addition to the carbon flecks, this stone shows a visual haziness, making its deep coloration appear even more saturated and causing it to appear to almost ‘glow’ from within. Given these unique characteristics, the stone does not sparkle with sharp flashes of color and light, but instead, twinkle in understated delicacy. This diamond is moody and deep, harnessing the natural imperfections within it as a way of amping up its drama. Accordingly, it is set within a handsome four corner prong gold mounting, with a back bezel that protects the diamond’s sides when worn. The bail is in a split looped style, through with a chain of up to about 2 mm thickness can be easily strung so as to enjoy around the neck.
Though not a very old antique, this estate pendant has seen decades of affectionate use, as it exhibits expected wear throughout commensurate with age and use. However, the diamond itself shows considerably harder wear, as pictured, with areas of chipping, abrasions and nibbles along the girdle. This timeless diamond jewel was procured for its singularity, delicate nature, and alluring chroma, and although imperfect, has much life yet to give to its new caretaker.

Items do not come with physical documentation, appraisals, or certifications, unless explicitly stated in the item description and/or title. While jewelry is inspected upon procurement by the shop as well as prior to shipment, Revival Fine Jewelry cannot guarantee a warranty once items leave our inventory, given the delicate and individual nature of secondhand articles and the unaccountability of buyer handling post-purchase.
Shipping: All orders are carefully packed within a branded Revival Fine Jewelry gift box, secured with recycled materials when possible, and shipped within a discreet outer shipping parcel. All orders ship with tracking, insurance and signature confirmation. Shipping options are presented at checkout. Per law and inegrity, international orders are always marked as commodity imports and customers are responsible for any and all customs expenses, VAT taxes and import fees, as well as any clearance costs legally dictated by their respective destination countries. These expenses are not calculated into the pricing structure, and returns based on import costs will not be permitted.
Returns: While Revival Fine Jewelry aims to provide a smooth experience from start to finish, customers are encouraged to reach out regarding any issue or dissatisfaction, so that we may work together toward a resolution. If a return is desired, the shop must be notified of an intention to return within 3 days of confirmed delivery, and item(s) must be shipped back to the shop within 7 days of confirmed delivery. All materials (gift box, inserts, cards) must be returned with the item(s). Returns declared after the 3 day window and/or postmarked after 7 days of receipt will neither be accepted nor refunded. Customers are responsible for generating an insured return shipping label (international customers included) and relaying the tracking information to Revival Fine Jewelry. Returns that do not include full insurance and/or tracking, and are damaged or lost in transit, will not be refunded. If a return is accepted, customers will be refunded less the original cost of shipping, handling and insurance, the expense of any damages incurred, and a 10% restocking fee (of the original purchase price). All sale items, items altered or resized by the buyer post-purchase, and all storage/ boxes are considered final sale and are ineligible for a return or refund.
Sale Terms: Sale prices are only valid within the prescribed sale window, unless otherwise stated by Revival Fine Jewelry or agreed upon between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer. To maintain business sustainability and general fairness, individual customers are not entitled to exclusive notification of, or owed access to, store sales antecedently. Orders processed prior to a promotion or sale, items placed on layaway prior to a sale, and payments paid through layaway prior to a sale will not be retroactively adjusted to reflect sale pricing or terms.
Specially Negotiated Deals: Items purchased at specially negotiated discounts, deals or prices through any platform between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer are considered final sale, including rates arranged and agreed upon via Facebook, Instagram, email or any other method. Closing deals at special rates reflects a desire by both parties to reach an expeditious and absolute sale. The intention of specially negotiated discounts, deals or sale prices through any platform between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer, is to eliminate extra expenses and/or use of time and resources to formally list or re-list items per their specific and inherent value-determining qualities, as well as avoid unseen overhead business costs, stocking obligations, and all other disclosed or undisclosed monetary and nonmonetary expenditures.
Pricing: Revival Fine Jewelry reserves the right to decrease, increase, alter and modify inventory pricing to meet market rarity, demand or value; to offset platform, transaction or seller's fees; to adapt to economic inflation and fluctuation; and to defray specific business expenses. Pricing is the sole discretion of every small business.
Regarding Brooches & Pins: Often significantly and curiously undervalued jewelry items, brooches, pins and stick pins are treasured pieces of history in this shop. Accordingly, their pricing is calculated analogous to other fine jewelry, including their symbolic meaning, rarity and historical prestige. Such pieces are typically converted to other forms of jewelry, and are therefore becoming increasingly rare in their original states. Aside from being perfectly wearable as sophisticated lapel ornaments, brooches and pins of all kinds are prime candidates for many kinds of fine jewelry conversions, including rings, earrings, pendants, and charms, if so desired by the consumer post-purchase. Revival Fine Jewelry does not perform conversion projects for customers.
Regarding Storage & Boxes: All specifications, including but not limited to the measurements, age, origins, and material compositions are supplied in good faith as professional estimations constructed using professional grade tools, years of learned and honed skills, educational resources and academic scholarship, and refined research methods. Regardless of our confidence in our descriptions and the photographs deemed viable extensions of these descriptions, we cannot guarantee the definitiveness, faultlessness, or exactitude beyond our knowledge and expertise. Kindly keep in mind that this and all items are sold as-is vintage, antique and estate secondhand wares, and consequently bear conditional wear in matter and operation commensurate with age and use.
