NOS = New Old Stock indicates old vintage that was never sold (until now). Collectors drool over NOS because condition is original.
OAK = One Of A Kind, "original", one-off or unique. If you desire to wear something that no one else has, then OAK is for you!
(Vintage) Patina = Darkening of metal due to being exposed to air over time. Examples include silver turning dark grey, black or tarnishing. Brass can become a darker gold color or almost black. Patina can show wear patterns, too.

Forgot to add, there are chemical solutions that can 'fake' a patina. Honest jewelry designers will disclose this when using it to turn copper green for artistic purposes.

Or darken brass or silver. Often it is used on the edges to help details stand out.

@cjmorgante1 I think I have "magpie syndrome" since I kinda have an obsession with sparkly things. 😉❤️Thus, why I am downsizing a little. Stay tuned. 😉❤️
