Question 1

What does 'Once Loved' mean at Garnet & June?

Accepted Answer

Once Loved is Garnet & June's elevated term for pre-owned and estate fine jewelry — pieces that have been owned and worn before, selected because their history, craftsmanship, and character make them more interesting, not less. Every Once Loved piece is inspected by our contracted gemologist before it joins the collection.

Question 2

Is once loved jewelry the same as estate jewelry or vintage jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Once loved and pre-loved are modern terms for what the industry traditionally calls estate jewelry — fine jewelry that has had a previous owner. Vintage typically refers to pieces that are 20–100 years old, while antique refers to pieces over 100 years old. Garnet & June's Once Loved collection spans all of these categories.

Question 3

Are your once loved and pre-loved pieces authenticated?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Once Loved piece at Garnet & June is evaluated by our contracted gemologist before listing. We verify metal content, stone authenticity, and structural integrity. We carry only solid gold, platinum, and sterling silver — no plated metals — and we describe each piece accurately, including any wear consistent with its age.

Question 4

What types of once loved jewelry does Garnet & June carry?

Accepted Answer

Our Once Loved collection includes estate rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings in solid gold, platinum, and sterling silver. Pieces range from mid-century statement jewelry to timeless everyday wear. Browse by category or shop the full collection at garnetandjune.com/once-loved.

Question 5

Can I sell or consign my jewelry to Garnet & June?

Accepted Answer

Garnet & June is selectively accepting fine jewelry for consignment and acquisition. If you have estate or vintage pieces in solid gold, platinum, or sterling silver that you'd like to sell or consign, reach out through our contact page with photos and details. Our team reviews all inquiries.

Question 6

How should I care for estate and vintage fine jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Estate and vintage fine jewelry should be stored individually in soft pouches or lined boxes to prevent scratching. Avoid exposing pieces to chemicals, perfumes, or ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage delicate settings or certain stones. We recommend professional inspection and cleaning every one to two years.
