Disclaimer of Liability & Sales Policy

1. Condition: 

This is a pre-owned item and is sold in "as found" condition. It may show minor signs of wear consistent with its age. Please refer to the photographs, which form part of the description, for a close inspection of its condition. All items are cleaned using professional equipment.

2. Colour & Metal Purity: 

I have described the metal and stones based on hallmarks, materials testing, and professional assessment. However, the colour and clarity of gems and precious metals can be perceived differently depending on monitor settings and lighting. I cannot guarantee that the colour you see on your screen will perfectly match the item in person. However, I go to great lengths to ensure the photos are as accurate to life as is possible.

3. Authenticity & Certification:

This is a vintage/antique piece. It's important for buyers to understand that most fine jewellery of this era and price point was not originally sold with a formal laboratory certificate. This item is described according to professional testing and hallmarks present and is believed to be authentic, but it is sold without a modern certificate (e.g., from GIA, AGS, etc.). Any accompanying documentation (such as a prior appraisal or original box) is for informational purposes only and is not a guarantee of a specific grade.

A Note on Vintage and Antique Jewellery & Certification: Most fine vintage and antique jewellery in this price range was not originally accompanied by a formal gemological laboratory certificate. The practice of widespread certification is a more modern standard. This piece is being sold based on professional assessment and is described honestly and to the best of my knowledge. As always, I encourage independent verification for your peace of mind. For context, free certification is given by some antique jewellers on their own diamond rings where they are valued £2,000 and above. In general, to obtain certification costs between £50 and over £100 depending on the item and certifier.
