As of January 1st 2023, all direct payments by credit cards will be subject to a 3% acceptance fee. Special Notice to Prospective Jewelry Buyers: Prospective jewelry bidders should exercise caution. Diamonds and gemstones commonly undergo various type of treatments, including but not limited to: heat treatment, irradiation, oiling, bleaching and/or dyeing, resin and/or polymer impregnation, diffusion, fracture filling, laser drilling, high temperature high pressure (a.k.a. HTHP) and coating with wax or other compounds. These represent some of the treatments which are common in the industry and are generally considered acceptable. While Andrew Jones Auctions endeavors to disclose the most noteworthy of these, many treatments are not listed in the catalog as many gemstones are regularly treated with one or more of these treatment or enhancements. Therefore we would like to remind all prospective buyers that unless otherwise noted in the catalog, the buyer should assume that one or more of these treatments is present in the described gem material and may or may not be permanent or detectable. When Andrew Jones Auctions has obtained additional information from a reputable, recognized laboratory or external source, we will commonly include the findings in our catalog description as additional information to prospective buyers. Various laboratories exist for these types of reports and findings may or may not be in agreeance with each other. Therefore, Andrew Jones Auctions makes no guarantees as to the accuracy or consistency of these reports and/or findings, but rather we provide this information to our clients in order to assist them in making determinations for bidding purposes. Special Notice to Prospective Watch and Timepiece Buyers: Prospective watch and timepiece bidders should exercise caution. While Andrew Jones Auctions offers a short description of the piece, the catalog notes and condition reports are not intended to be a complete analysis of the condition of any watch or timepiece. All watches and timepieces offered at auction are often of age and have received much wear during their lifetime. All watches and timepieces are to be sold in ?as is? condition and we encourage bidders to evaluate the piece in person prior to bidding. CITES: Some materials such as coral, shell, horn and bone (to name a few) are subject to import/export regulations in compliance with CITES. Items containing a material listed under CITES protection may require additional licenses or be banned completely from import or export to and from the US and other countries. BURMA: In accordance with the current US restrictions, import into the US of materials which originated from Burma during the tenure of this restriction (most notably jade and ruby) is not permitted. In either of these above mentioned cases concerning CITES, Burmese or any restricted material, it is the responsibility of the buyer to obtain any necessary licenses or documentation that is required to ship any materials that fall under these legal restrictions. Failure to obtain permission or licenses to import or export items purchased at auction does not justify cancellation of sale or delay in payment settlement.
