JEWELRY: Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time. All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least 25 business days before the date of the auction and you pay report fees via Zelle or cashier?s check. We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described or pictured in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only by request, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they create the report. Reports are not provided for all pieces. WATCHES AND CLOCKS: Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch or clock is authentic. Watchbands described as associated are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys. Collectors' watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms; you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order; assume all watches and clocks need service of some degree. Certificates are not available unless described or pictured in the catalogue. Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use. Many of the watches (bags, pens, and other items) offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. Refer to prior paragraph regarding endangered species.
