Comments:Liza,

My package arrived safely, timely, and wonderfully packaged. My friend of 35 years just recently introduced me to vintage jewelry. I then surfed the internet and discovered you. What a find!!! The Vendome pink/green earrings are definitely beautiful and out-of-the-ordinary. Thank you for your note and other surprise. Loved that, too! You will definitely hear from me again!

A new devoted fan.

Name:Mary Katherine
Comments:Thank you so much for the prompt delivery of the order that I placed. I was so pleased with the Spider Pin. My son thought it was one of the nicest pieces I have.(He's a SpiderMan fan) I'm a brooch & pin lady. I never wear anything without some kind of pin on it. You have some very nice pieces that I will have to save up for seeing that Christmas is so for away now. Your prices are very reasonable but I have to keep to a budget. If you should get any pins with just daisys or hummingbird who is just green & blue please e mail me I'll be back soon & again thanks for the good service plus the goodies.
Name:Marcy
Comments:The pin is nothing short of fabulous. It is in mint condition, a wonderful design with lots of dangles and beautiful colors, I just could not be happier. Transferring the pin from there to here has been more like a swap between friends than a fnancial transaction. I will look forward to our next meeting with great pleasure.

Warmest regards,

Comments:Can't believe how fast I got my KJL jade dragon pin (and it was over the holiday weekend)! Joan, you've made me very happy -- I've been looking for this pin everywhere (including Ebay)and finally have it! I've never received such a personable confirmation email. The box was wrapped up beautifully and was like a late Christmas present, along with the chocolates and nail file as stocking stuffers. Great shopping experience...would recommend to anyone (even skeptical shoppers like me).

Thank you for your ABSOLUTELY wonderful courteous and immediate service and for your support in selecting the most appropriate international delivery option.

Comments:First let me congratulate you on your descriptive and very articulate web site. Writing passages about each and every one of your thousands of items is just mind-boggling!!! I have been searching for a ring (fine jewelry) with a large center stone which has frogs set with precious stones used as prongs for the center one.. Please let me know if you ever find a ring resembling this . God knows if anyone could find it , you could. Thank you. Candace Daly
Name:Gail Lapins
Comments:Joan,

I just received my pins and they are absolutely beautiful!!. I was reluctant to order jewelry on the internet, but the experience dealing with you is so wonderfully personal I feel like I know you. The package was also so warm and charming. There nestled along with my exquisite jewelry was chocolate, nail file and incase I got to emotional over the whole experience, some Kleenex.

Thanks for your professionalism and caring.

Best,
Gail

Comments:I thoroughly enjoyed your store, very well put together and very user friendly. You have a beautiful collection of all kinds of pieces. Would reccommend this site to anyone.
Name:Mary Jo Magar
Comments:I began studying belly dance about six months ago, and ever since reading about how deep the "serpent" symbolism is to belly dance, I have been seeking serpent jewelry. My search has been mostly disappointing in the sense that so much modern jewelry, costume and otherwise, is poorly made and even cheaply made even when expensive! Through an AOL search for "snake rings" I found my serpent soul mate on the Absolutely Vintage website. I have never seen such a ring -- beautiful, mystical, and solid all at once, also very affordable and to top it all off, adjustable which is a great feature in itself, as I have the notorious "knuckle" trouble with rings in that they are large enough to go over my knuckle (when bought according to size) but then are loose at the base of the finger. Thank you, Joan, for the fast shipping and the surprise of a bag of chocolates placed in with the ring which was so beautifully, thoughtfully, individually wrapped. The whole package made my day, both in contents and presentation. Thank you!

Comments:Dear Joan, Hello! I recieved my brooch yesterday Thank You!! I loved the personal detail you add to your shipment definitely leaves a memorable pleasing impression .

Name:Angi
Comments:I finally received my second package from your store (after a week of upset that the Post Office had lost it!), I am once again overwhelmingly delighted and impressed with the items. Joan, the butterfly belt is an absolutely beautiful knockout! Each of the four items are stunning in themselves for their beauty, one-of-a-kind uniqueness and their charm.

A handicapped friend was with me when I made all three trips to the P.O. over the course of three days to find the package so she was also with me when I picked it up. She is unable to speak but was as equally surprised as I was when she could no longer contain herself and she inadvertently made an exclamatory sound when the box was finally opened and she saw the gorgeously wrapped packages. She dove right in and started opening them as if they were hers!.

The great customer care you've once again provided in the beautiful wrapping, additional gifts and hand written thank you are added delights to shopping your store.

Thank you Again Joan
(P.S. - I tell everybody about your store!)

Comments:Dear Joan,

Just wanted to let you know that I received the dolphin brooch and am thrilled with him, and the obvious courtesy and appreciation that you show toward your customers.

I couldn't be happier with the beautiful things that I've purchased so far, and will be contacting you soon re: my interest in others.

Many thanks and all the best,

Comments:I just received my package and opened it. I am overwhelmingly charmed with the beauty of the wrapping on each package, the obvious care taken on my behalf, the personalized handwritten note and the small gifts enclosed along with my items. Further, I am immensly impressed with the three items I purchased from your shop and intend on displaying them in my 100 year old home with great pride.

There is no doubt in my mind that you have the finest shop on the web and I've shopped many webshops. Your outstanding customer values and the quality and care you give have not been equalled or met by any others in cyberworld.

Thank you. I am now your faithful customer,

Comments:Hi! I can't tell you the pleasure I had strolling through your beautiful items and variouis areas on your website! I am an antique dealer, dealing in museum quality beaded and metal mesh purses prior to 1930's. Jewellery is not my area of expertise, although I love viewing your site and I thought perhaps you had some of the older designer pieces in photo.

I am trying to validate a set of beautiful designer set of 14KG and huge lapis stones. It was appraised in 1974 for $76,500.00 (6 pcs.) and I was told that it was probably designed by Wong the Jewellery Designer of California, now deceased, for Helena Rubenstein. Although I have the 1974 appraisal from the jewellery store in Texas, there is nothing that would authendicate this. I have contacted the Helena Rubenstein Foundation and they are not very helpful in wanting to deal with small items such as these 6 pcs. I have also contacted Ms. Wong's only child, a son who lives in New York City and he states that all of his mothers sketches, photos of designed items, etc. are in a warehouse in California and that he only gets back there once or twice per year. He had no interest in going through those things to provide any assistance, which I can't much blame him.

My thinking is that if we could find photos , magazines, etc. that might show this set. We have several books that show Helena Rubenstein wearing huge, massive pieces such as these are but none that show these very pieces. Hence my reason for checking out your website.

Thank you so very much for a wonderful afternoon stroll.

Comments:Wowzer & double wowzer! I can not even began to say how pleased I was with my purchase, or the service & gifts that were included with my purchase. Joan is not only a gal who knows her stuff but is an exceptional CLASSY lady! She sells vintage items that posses old time value.....but her final sale to you is extreme old time value as well. She treats her customers with such respect and class.......Joan in herself is a vintage classic piece of sparkly charm from a by-gone era, just like the items she sells. They just don't make'em anymore. Thank you Joan for providing A number #1 everything! You have me for a lifetime customer for sure! Brightest Blessings.......

Comments:Thanks Joan
I received the earrings yesterday - and am wearing them today at work. They are truly beautiful, thank you. Even more important though, is the service you provide. You packaged them so nicely, with the addition of a small "gift" that really adds something to the whole purchase. You really know how to "value add" to your customers. Thanks again Joan, and you can be sure I will be buying from you again. Please feel free to use this email as a testimonial if you wish. I think you provide a truly wonderful customer service.
Have a good day

I received the lavender bouquet flower pin, and you are the Classiest Antique Dealer I've ever known.

THE CORAL THEME BROOCH IS IN 'EXCELLENT CONDITION' AS DESCRIBED AND EVEN BETTER IN PERSON.

I APPRECIATE THE HALLOWEEN CANDIES, VINTAGE FLOWER TISSUES & EMORY BOARD AS 'PACKING MATERIAL' FOR THE BOXED BROOCH. THE NET TIE-ON AND MINIATURE ROSE WERE A SWEET TOUCH ( MY CATS LOVED PLAYING WITH THE EXTRAS WHILE THIS LEO ADMIRED HER VINTAGE FIND).

Comments:Dear Joan, It has been an utter delight to purchase the beautiful and glamorous comb from you! Aside from the wonderful things on your site, the structure of the site is admirable, with categories that make searching a breeze. The exquisite comb needed no help to garner rave reviews from me. By enclosing the chocolate treats and the nail file (with case), you risked my going off on a tangent and praising THEM instead of you, your site and the comb. However, as you can see, I have resisted the urge to stray and have directed my praises to where they SERIOUSLY belong. Warm regards, Anita

Thank you.

Comments:Hi Joan,
It has been a pleasure getting to know you over the web. You have been so eager to please with your friendly emails. I hope our paths cross again in the future. Knowing me, I will not be able to resist a Christmas tree pin now & then from your on line store.
Best Regards,

Comments:Dear Joan,

I can't thank you enough for the extra time you devoted to finding the beautiful flag pin for me! It is a very special piece--so pretty, and I am the envy of my coworkers in the Pentagon. I know that you devoted a lot of effort to helping me work the details of finding just the right thing, and it is absolutely perfect. For an Army Public Affairs Officer who was lucky enough to survive the attack on the Pentagon, the flag has extra special meaning now. I will never forget you and the exceptional service you gave me at a difficult time.

Warmest Regards,

Nancy Ray

Comments:Hi Joan-
I received my amazing box of treasures today. Each piece was more beautiful than the last. And that Dominique bib is out of this world beautiful, and the Hagler is baroque pearl drop necklace is beyond stiunning, and the Schiaparelli demi is simply gorgeous, and Larry Vrba is incomparable.... How wonderful it all is.
It couldn't have come at a better time. I have been trying to get back into my beadwork and I've been frustrated. While I have my back turned the thread ties itself into knots of its own volition. Just before the postman's knock came at the door, I had gone to the mirror to check the drape of a necklace I have been working on and I was bitterly lamenting my complete lack of talent and my newly noticed proto-jowls (ugh).
Then I opened your package and I put on that magnificent bib and I sat there and my hands worked magic. I looked smashing and my hands worked magic. (And my husband thinks I've gone off the deep end, which is in itself satisfying!)

with warm regards,
susan

Comments:the minimum I can do is tell other shoppers what went on the day I saw this site for the first time and just by luck:

Well...the products looked lovely and with a more than moderate price...
Would it be true? Mmmm... I made a very small order ($150dls )
My surprise was even bigger when I received the items... They were amazingly beautiful!!! So original and in a perfect condition!!!
And the shipping cost?
Ridiculously low ( to Mexico City ) !

I will never, EVER buy fantasy jewelry except in ABSOLUTELY VINTAGE !!!
I truly vouch for that site...

Comments:Joan, again my thanks for the extra touches and the presentation of the items I recently purchased from you. In addition to the patience you displayed to get this "Canadian" to send her payments in the correct currency and orm.

I don't see "any" other online jewlery shops which can compare with yours! You have the largest collection I've ever seen and the best quality of items.

Look forward to purchasing additional items for you.

Take care,

Comments:Dear Joan (and Liza),

Absolutelyvintage.net has one extremely happy customer here! Your package arrived, filled with goody gifts and my purchases that were beautifully gift-wrapped. I have conducted business with many Internet companies but none has equaled your presentation.

I don't know which I like more...the Schriener pin (#DC 0200-045N) or the Schiaparelli pin and earrings set (#S 0200-059N). They are works of art and have left me hungry for more! I will continue to visit your pages frequently and will look forward to my future purchases.

Sincerely,
Terry
