About Vintage

The word vintage comes from its use in wine terminology – and like wine, people, and well most things – we think our products have gotten better with age. At Parker & Blake we love vintage accessories because they’re amazing and one-of-a-kind – just like you, boo!

Of course, we would be remiss to not mention that vintage is not new. Our products have been around the block (a time or two) dating as far back as the early 20th century. So naturally, our products will show wear and tear in accordance with their age. That being said, Parker & Blake strives to offer the best in fashion and quality – so we won’t offer merchandise that’s not wearable. Furthermore, to us, quality encompasses cleanliness; all jewelry has been professionally cleaned and is guaranteed sterile.

Vintage Condition

At Parker & Blake we use the following three standards to rate the condition of every product:

Excellent: It’s not new, but it sure looks like it! No visible signs of wear.

Good: It’s an amazing piece and it’s previous owner wore and cared for it with pride! Normal wear, no noticeable signs of damage.

Fair: Someone loved this piece and you will too! Normal wear, slight damage visible.

In addition to rating all the products we also describe the nature of any flaws to the best of our ability.
