Please Note

Our vintage jewellery has lived a life before yours, and with a little care, it will continue to shine for many years to come. Always put your pieces on last, after perfume, hairspray, and lotions, and take them off first to avoid snags or knocks. Keep them away from water, chemicals, and humidity, and remove before swimming, exercising, or cleaning. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear and avoid any abrasive materials or cleaning products. Never soak or submerge vintage costume jewellery in water. Store each piece separately in a fabric-lined box or pouch, away from sunlight and damp areas, to protect its beauty.

Every Bonita Eloise piece is pre-loved and may show gentle signs of age such as patina, slight wear, or small imperfections that add to its charm and history. We take great care to describe each treasure accurately, though exact dates and makers are sometimes based on research and style rather than definitive proof. Materials are noted honestly, and unless otherwise stated, our pieces are costume jewellery made from base metals, glass stones, or synthetic materials. Vintage sizing may differ from modern standards, so please check measurements before purchasing. All sales are final unless the item is significantly different from the description provided. These treasures are chosen for their beauty and story, to be worn and loved again, and to continue their journey with you.
