Description: Read the condition section below the description where I point out any defects with every item I list. I’m human, so I may miss something. This is why photos are a part of the description. Any other items in the background or props besides the listed item are not included in this auction. Up for sale/auction is an iconic 1960s modernist sterling silver pin by Denmark designer Niels Erik From. It is minimalism at its best and would be perfectly at home with a little black sheath and an Eames chair. Much prettier than these photos. This was a toughie to try and get good images; done in both natural daylight as well under bright lights. The brooch measures approximately 2” wide by 1” tall. It is smooth silver without detail. It weighs 11 grams. Condition: Very good to excellent pre-owned/worn condition, with expected surface scratches and tarnish to a piece of jewelry that is 60 years old. The pin stem may be slightly curved, but it is original and fits perfectly into the locking clasp. No damage that I can visualize. Your jeweler can bring this piece to a high polish if you so desire. The Fine Print Welcome to my shop! I’ve been a dealer and collector of fine vintage sterling silver jewelry for over 40 years and am now retired from the trade. Most of the pieces listed this year have been off-market for over 10 years or from my personal collection. Photos: Please review all photos and descriptions of condition. Photos are part of the description. All measurements are approximate and done to the best of my ability. Ring size is measured on a standard mandrel. Weights are provided in grams and measured on a postal scale that is calibrated. Returns: I do not accept returns, but will do my best with you to ensure you receive communication from me. Ebay is filled with buyers who only want to flip items. I sell for design, quality and beauty, not for scrap metal value. Payment: I encourage you to contact me if you have an issue with paying in the given time period by eBay. If you cannot pay, I ask that you refrain from bidding. Think about how you buy online from other independent sellers on Etsy, Posh or other secondary selling markets. You would not be able to delay payment and then walk away without completing the transaction. Let’s be good trading partners and do our best. I know I am. What condition are these pieces in: These items are all vintage, antique (older than 50 years), or from a secondary contemporary marketplace. As such, there will be scuffs, scratches on stones and metal, visible use, sometimes slightly bent ring bands or clasps or rings that need attention. I will do my best to photograph these or point out any issues. Please review all photos prior to bidding. I leave the patina on pieces, especially with oxidation. If you would prefer something to be shinier and polished before it is mailed, please contact me and I will use an industry recommended product to hand polish, although it may leave a slight odor that can easily be removed by you with rinsing in water with gentle detergents. Shipping: I pay free USPS insurance with all sales, according to the final bid value. You pay basic flat rate for Priority shipping in a small box, anywhere in the US. I will provide a free jewelry pouch for most items unless the item is too large to fit. For combined shipping: Please contact me at the end of the auction if you win more than one item. I will send you a manual eBay invoice with one shipping charge. If you pay right away with eBay’s automatic separate invoices, I cannot combine shipping. Items sold for a value of over $300 USD will require signature confirmation. Allergy alert: This is a smoke-free household but we do have cats, so if a stray hair makes its way into your package, I cannot take responsibility for your allergic reaction. But I promise, the cats are not allowed to wear the jewelry when they party at night.
