Antique Arts & Crafts Bernard Instone Small Sterling Silver & Enamel Brooch
Item History & Price
Item Description:
Charming little arts and crafts sterling silver and enamel brooch by Bernard Instone. It has a pretty floral centrepiece with beautifully sharp coloured enamels then a pale lemon opaque enamel surround which sadly does have a slight surface chip at one edge as can be seen in the last photo. Although it does have this issue it doesn't spoil the beauty and craftsmanship of the piece and without knowing it's there it would most likely go unnoticed whilst worn! It... is stamped Sterling Silver and as with most Instone pieces is not signed but the pattern is the signature with these pieces!
All items are from my personal collection or sold on behalf of friends or family! All items will arrive unboxed unless stated otherwise and are used vintage or antique items which will show signs of wear, so please take the pictures and description into consideration before bidding!!

My Terms & Conditions, Please Read Before Bidding!
Payment please within three days of auction end. I prefer pay pal but will accept UNCROSSED postal orders and cheques but will not post your item until payment has cleared which is five working days in my bank. An unpaid item case will automatically open after four days of non payment but I will send you a friendly reminder message the day before! I do combine postage so please advise me if you are waiting for another item to end so I can stop a case opening against you if it falls out of the time limit. If for any reason you are needing more time to pay please contact me so we can work something out!Royal Mail have made changes to their parcel pricing structure meaning it is now cheaper to send medium sized and upwards parcels via courier usually My Hermes (signed for). Smaller items will still be posted Royal Mail 2nd class signed for. I will pass you tracking details which appear on your purchase history page. I post Monday - Friday but work commitments sometimes make Thursdays difficult, I do not post Saturdays as your parcel will sit in a sorting office without movement until Monday anyway! The cost of your parcel will include my packaging and other costs and comes in at under £1. I do not make money out of postage costs and please take into consideration that ebay now also take fees from postage costs! I post to the address given by paypal so please contact me if those details are not correct! I happily ship worldwide and use a signed for service, some items are only tracked until they leave the UK but all require a signature upon receipt! I am not responsible for import/custom tax costs!!!
I do accept returns but only for genuine reasons!! As most of my items are vintage there will almost always be signs of age related wear which is part of their beauty and I will point out wear and imperfections in my listings. I do try to list as honestly as I can but sometimes I might miss something which will be a genuine mistake, I find deliberate misleading and lies in descriptions pointless and poor customer service and I hope my customers return in the future! In the event of a return the buyer pays return postage costs and a refund will be issued once I have received the item and am satisfied it is in the condition that it was sent!
I hope that you are happy with your purchase, please leave feedback which also stands as a way of my knowing your parcel has arrived safely. If however you are not fully satisfied with your item please contact me before leaving anything other than positive feedback, I'd much rather work with you than against you! If you have mistakenly bid on an item and wish to retract your bid please contact me to explain your reason as it's horrible to find an item you thought was selling suddenly isn't with only the poor excuse on the bid history as explanation! Those people without contact will be blocked along with non payers and neg feedback leavers! And lastly if you are thinking of bidding with no intention of paying please save us genuine ebayers time and effort by not bothering!! THANK YOU! :-)
