Bidders Beware!
Clars seems like a nice upscale jeweler. Sadly the are the type that gives the jewelry industry a bad name. Manipulating images, deliberately omitting characteristics that would better inform a buyer in the interest of higher sales. They only have there interests and profit in mind. If you're okay with that type of seller, bid on. In my opinion there are better sellers on this platform who will respect you as a buyer and value a return client over an easy buck.

Diversity of assortments
Clars is great at attracting a wide assortment of consignments... something for everybody, and they manage very well at expediting everything.

Quirky auction house, good to deal with
I've purchased several items from Clars. They have such an eclectic mix of things and a lot of bargains. I gave them a demerit because I had emailed them about pick up and they never got back to me. But usually they are very responsive. I think the reason they didn't get back to me is because they are open during normal business hours for pick up. Which is great because other auction houses I've dealt with, you have to make an appointment.

Well run and Excellent Curation
It's great to have such a good auction house nearby. I feel that my taste and sensibilities are met with Clars Auction Gallery.

Smooth Transaction
My second time purchasing from Clars and again all went well. Used Jack London Mail to ship my paintings and would highly recommend them. Excellent responsiveness and quick and careful shipping. Approx $75.00 to ship 2 medium size paintings from the Bay area to Monterey.

Auction Item Arrived Damaged-No Responsibility Has Been Taken Over 4 Months Later. Buyer Beware.
I am currently in the midst of a 4 + month struggle with Clars Auction Gallery over the purchase of framed art that arrived damaged. After months of communications with LiveAuctioneers and Clars, it has become apparent that no one will take responsibility for the damaged shipment. Everyone was quite helpful and friendly until the art was "out the door"-then the attitude changed quite dramatically. Clars blames the shipper and myself-for not requesting a condition report prior to the shipment... as if a condition report on all items sold by Clars is the only method for ensuring the items at auction are not damaged or in less-than-desirable condition... ensuring they are not legally liable for the items that are sold and shipped? I suppose I can't believe my eyes when I saw a beautiful piece online, versus one that was quite different when it arrive at my home a week later. Once the communication process had broken down via email... I reached out to the Better Business Bureau-"old school," right?-thinking they might considering the implications of a mediator and/or reputational damage if enough clients voiced concerns about their business practices. This has proven to be a fool's errand-every response from the company is a variation from the previous communication. We are getting nowhere. I purchase regularly online, from auction sites-it is very much a "buyer beware" environment. So my only/best advice I can offer when dealing with Clars Auction House is... beware.

Clars Is Professional and Easy to Deal With... What Else is There?
I've bought from Clars for years and have been to their facility and have found them to be professional and fair, which is all you can ask.
