For a smooth transaction, please read the entire description prior to making a purchase. Please check out all of the images as they are a major part of the description.

This would be a wonderful gift to a vintage Puka collector or a fantastic addition to your ever growing collection. Please look at all of the images to form your own opinion as to the condition of the item. My personal opinion may differ from yours. To me, it is in excellent vintage condition, meaning wear consistent with age. This is not a new necklace. From my experience as a kid in the 70s who owned a Puka necklace, we wore them ALL THE TIME. Bering shells, the necklaces may have imperfections that add to their character. With that in mind, please zoom and look closely to make sure this is a good fit for you. Most folks would just put them on and go. I did not clean or polish the necklace. I know some folks like some patina so I leave cleaning and polishing up to the discretion of the buyer. I also didn’t want to ruin them with todays harsh chemicals. For weight and metal purity I rely on the results of my Fusion scale and the common Puri Test Acid tests. Prior to wearing, please get the item checked out, serviced or repaired by a professional as I can not be held responsible for how any item, clasp, stones, gems, chain, string, findings, etc. will hold up with any sort of wear. I am simply a reseller of the item. Not a jeweler or manufacturer. Thanks so much for looking! Condition: Vintage or preowned jewelry typically shows wear constant with its age. This may include things to expect such as light scratches, tarnish, in need of cleaning or polishing,etc. as it most likely has been worn and loved.That is why we love it so much.

I do not want to take a chance ruining something. Depending on your own taste, you can either clean or polish it or keep it in its original state. My jewelry comes from estates, individual consignors, individual or bulk purchases, etc. In most cases, I do not know the history of the jewelry nor where it has traveled or been stored. Most importantly, I have no idea if it has been around pets, smoke, air fresheners or any sort of allergen or if it smells. (I do not smell jewelry) Thanks so much for looking!
