FAQs

What is UniqueLife365?

UniqueLife365 (UL365, for short) is our beloved jewelry business. We are a husband-and-wife team with no employees.

Where do you get the jewelry you sell?

All of our jewelry is preowned. We source our inventory locally, through both private and public sales.

Why do some titles say “vintage” while others don’t?

While most of our pieces are vintage, we add “vintage” in the title when a piece has a distinct vintage style or era-specific look.

What methods do you use to determine the metal purity and the stones?

We use standard acid testing for both silver and gold. We use a Presidium II Gemstone tester to identify gemstones. However, we are not gemologists.

Are the stones in your jewelry mined or lab-created?

Most of the stones we come across appear to be lab-created due to their lack of imperfections that occur naturally in mined stones (and are visible when examined closely). If we're sure one way or the other, we note it in the description.

Why do you sell only preowned jewelry?

Several reasons. We really like being part of the second-hand selling market, which helps reduce what ends up in landfills. Preowned jewelry also allows buyers to own quality pieces at a lower cost compared to new. In addition, vintage jewelry often reflects the craftsmanship and styles of its time – features not usually duplicated in today’s manufacturing.

Are there benefits to owning gold or silver jewelry versus costume jewelry?

If you’re looking for jewelry that is long-lasting – sturdy with minimal degradation – then silver or gold is a great choice. Costume jewelry can be beautiful too, but some pieces may wear down more quickly. With proper care, your gold and silver jewelry can last a lifetime (or longer). And, of course, caring for your costume jewelry also helps extend its wearability and durability.

Do you sell costume jewelry?

Yes, on our ebay store. We also sell preowned watches and miscellaneous vintage/estate items there. We come across some really interesting items.

Will I be charged sales tax, whether I buy on this site or through your ebay store?

The rules governing when we must charge sales tax differ from state to state. If we charge you sales tax, it is because we are required to, and the amount is remitted to the appropriate state.

How often will you list new inventory on your site?

We are continually listing new pieces, so it’s worth checking back regularly!

What is your refund policy?

We want you to love your purchase. If you discover it is not what you expected, please contact us via our Contact page within 7 days of delivery and we will provide instructions for returning the jewelry for a full refund.
