~Our Policy~

Shipping & Customs

Customs charges may apply when shipping outside of the European Union. Orders shipped internationally may require payment of import duties, taxes, brokerage fees, or administrative charges upon arrival in the destination country. These charges are solely the responsibility of the customer.

Simon’s Antiquarium cannot be held responsible for delays caused by customs processing or postal services.

Returns

Due to the antique and delicate nature of our pieces, all sales are considered final. We retain the right to decline returns, exchanges, or cancellations at our discretion.

If an issue arises with your order, please contact us promptly and we will do our best to assist you.

Liability

Simon’s Antiquarium shall not be held liable for damage resulting from improper handling, misuse, accidental damage, or alterations made after purchase.

Platform Disclaimer

This store is in no way affiliated with Instagram or any of its partners or associated companies.

Product Images

All product photographs depict the actual item offered for sale. Images may be carefully adjusted to reflect the item’s real-life appearance as faithfully as possible and to present its form and details clearly. Such adjustments may include corrections to colour, lighting and contrast, as well as the reduction or removal of incidental reflections and shadows. Image editing is not used to conceal significant wear, flaws, repairs or damage; where present, these will be shown and/or described in the relevant listing. Slight differences in colour or appearance may nevertheless occur due to lighting conditions and individual screen settings.

Acceptance of Terms

By making a purchase, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms and conditions set out in this Store Policy.

At Simon’s Antiquarium, we specialize in authentic antique and vintage jewellery and accessories dating primarily from the late 19th to early 20th century. Each piece is carefully researched, cleaned, and sympathetically restored where necessary in order to preserve both its beauty and historical integrity.

Please note that these are genuine original antique and vintage items, not modern reproductions. Minor signs of age and wear are to be expected and form part of the character and history of each piece. We kindly ask that all items are handled with appropriate care.

All descriptions and photographs are provided as accurately as possible. Metals and materials are verified by eye, no chemical tests or scans are performed on our pieces. We encourage customers to review all images and descriptions carefully before purchasing.
