LeNain Jewelry

LeNain Jewelry is a family owned and operated business that has been conducting private sales of unique estate, antique and vintage jewelry pieces to the trade, antique dealers and private customers worldwide since 1997.

Throughout this time they have built a strong reputation based in their honesty, integrity and personal service which is second to none.

Known for their unsurpassed commitment to excellence have established long lasting business relations with strong ties; in fact many of their original customers have become personal friends.

LeNain Jewelry carries an exciting selection of Victorian, Edwardian, Art nouveau, Art Deco and Vintage jewelry covering periods from the mid 1800’s to the 1980’s.

The company showcases middle to high-end estate jewelry pieces for the avid collector as well as the occasional investor; being in the wholesale trade as they are, the price structure reflects tremendous savings for the final consumer; as Edward likes to put it “one does not need to be rich to own a high quality unique jewelry piece”

The LeNain collection is put together by extensively searching all over the world for beautiful and exceptional pieces exquisitely crafted in platinum or 18K gold although occasionally there are 14K gold items as well as sterling silver jewelry. All precious stones are natural as mined, it is LeNain’s policy to avoid any kind of mechanical enhancement, be it laser or heat treatment.

Precious stones like diamonds can be rose cut, old-mine or antique European cut which are prominent in many pieces. Emeralds, sapphires and rubies continue to complete the precious stone palette. Other materials – garnets, coral, amethyst, aquamarines and turquoise – are just a few of the types of precious and semi-precious stones found in some of the pieces being offered

Although relatively small in numbers each of the company’s part owners works as an employee and has a unique role, but all with a common denominator “passion for great and unique jewelry”

Edward LeNain is the every day “go to” person overseeing the operation as a whole while his wife, renowned Beverly Hills wedding and evening gowns designer to the stars Norma LeNain has the final approval in the company acquisitions. Daughter Valerie is in charge of customer relations and operation logistics, while son Daniel is the creative talent behind the scenes who is in charge of advertising, photography and web site maintenance. With his 40 years of experience cousin Oscar is the master goldsmith in charge of restoration and repair, it is under his strict supervision where the pieces are inspected, repaired if needed, polished and brought back to its original splendor and Alex is the one that grades, evaluates and prices every piece that forms part of our exclusive collection working very closely with LeNain’s Jewelry agents in Europe and South America. The rest of the supporting cast includes Charles, Lucas, Grace, Martin, Robert and Patricia

For many years we were happy to receive you at our brick and mortar store in Beverly Hills. Regretfully due to the fact that after 15 years we lost of our lease coupled with Norma's stroke we are now an Internet only company.
We are hoping for Norma's full recovery within the next few months. At that time we'll get back in pursuit of a convenient store location where we can welcome you back again.
I want to thank you all for the well wishes sent during this trying times, your kindness and uplifting words will be carried by both of us for ever.

 

The following two paragraphs are very important and somehow educational

A) NOTE ABOUT JEWELRY PHOTOGRAPHY: Pictures of jewelry, specially the ones that involve precious stones are very difficult to obtain. Very often (too often maybe) when these pictures are displayed in a monitor the result is diamonds show darker than they actually are (some cuts more than others) when the fact is they aren't. Looking at the pictures, if you believe that the diamonds look dark, please check the detailed information provided in the listing where we clearly state the classification of the stones as graded by a professional gemologist. If you still unsure please ask any questions by emailing us at info@dotgoneassets.com before you place your bid. Metals are very reflective, different coloration spots that you might see in some pictures of the precious metal area are just reflections captured by the lens due to lighting conditions and are not in the metal itself!.
It is a generally accepted practice in the jewelry business to inspect and grade pieces under a 10X magnification glass.  Since we use a very high definition digital camera most of our photos are enlarged in a way as if they were under a 100X magnification glass.  Be aware that 99.99999 % of potential problems you may see in the pictures cannot definitely be seen with the naked eye, 10X or sometimes even under a 30x magnification glass. Occasionally some images might make an item appear to be imperfect when it actually is faultless.

B) NOTE ABOUT PRECIOUS STONES and METALS:  All the precious stones featured in our jewelry are fully evaluated and graded by a professional with over 30 years in the business. All stones are natural as mined unless otherwise indicated (occasionally we have jewelry with synthetic rubies or sapphires of the highest quality but it always is disclosed).
All our Diamonds are 100% NATURAL. They are NOT ENHANCED or TREATED in any way, shape or form. Some sellers will not disclose this fact or will represent it as a plus when in fact it is exactly the opposite, enhanced stones are much less valuable than natural stones.
Unless otherwise specifically noted all the jewelry we sell is of solid precious metal tested for accuracy. Platinum is of the highest quality (normally 950, never less than 900), the gold in the jewelry we sell is 18K or higher although occasionally we might have pieces in 14K gold at a lesser price that its counterparts (18K gold is about 30% more valuable than 14K gold), metals are not plated or laminated unless specifically noted. Please keep these facts present when comparing prices.
All of our jewelry listings are very good quality pieces, we try to describe them to the best of our ability without hiding any know defects or flaws. Every piece we sell is guaranteed to be AT LEAST as described, often times will be even better since we are on the conservative side when it comes to classification.

About Your Jewelry

 

Please read the item description, look at the pictures and if you have any doubts please ASK BEFORE BIDDING.

Most of our estate, vintage, and antique jewelry items have been previously treasured but very well cared for. Gentle wear may be present on some pieces however they are still in excellent condition. Any mentionable flaws or imperfections are clearly disclosed in our listing description.

Best Offer: If this item is listed in the "Fixed Price" category and the "Submit an Offer" feature is enabled, please do not waste your time or ours submitting ridiculous offers, everybody likes bargains but many offers come at prices lower than "scrap" value, I take that very personal as an insult to my intelligence.
Buyer's submitting offers of that kind will be added to our "Blocked Bidders List" and will never ever be able to place a bid in any of our exclusive antique and vintage pieces.
Any ridiculous or "insulting" offers submitted below a reasonable value will be immediately and automatically declined according to our posted minimum in eBay's system.
Please be realistic when placing your offer, it works better for all parties involved and would make a plausible and enjoyable proposition for buyer and seller.
Thank you for your consideration.
