Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, eBay, or local Facebook Buy/Sell groups. Poshmark is excellent for Brighton collectors.
Selling Tips
Do not use harsh chemical cleaners as they can strip the protective lacquer; use a soft jewelry polishing cloth. Use keywords like 'Boho,' 'Western,' 'Minimalist,' and 'Retired Style.' Photograph the heart hangtag clearly to prove authenticity.
