Electronic mail is info@ linkauctiongalleries.com. Our website is www.linkauctiongalleries. com IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PURCHASERS OF JEWELRY The Following provision supplements the Standard Terms and Conditions appearing in this catalogue. Clients are advised that many colored gemstones are treated to enhance their properties. For example: heating is commonly used to improve the color or transparency of rubies or sapphires; and oiling is used to enhance clarity in emeralds. Such enhancement procedures are widely accepted by the international jewelry profession. While the color of heat-treated stones is permanent, oiling may need to be repeated after a number of years in order for emeralds to retain optimum clarity. As a matter of policy, Link Auction Galleries will obtain gemological reports from officially recognized laboratories for certain gemstones offered for sale. The contents of these reports are given in our catalogues. However, it is not feasible for Link Auction Galleries to obtain such reports for all gemstones offered at auction and prospective buyers should therefore bear in mind that, unless otherwise stated, such enhancement methods could have been used. Prospective buyers must be made in good time (two weeks before the auction date) and are at the client's cost (prepaid). Enhancement of gemstones may affect market values, and clients are advised that if official gemological reports are not available gemstones may have been enhanced. Illustrations are produced as approximately life-size, unless stated to the contrary. However they are rarely exact and cannot be used as precise indications of size. IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PURCHASERS OF WATCHES The following provision supplements the Standard Terms and Conditions appearing in this catalogue. NO WARRANTY IS MADE THAT ANY WATCH IS IN WORKING ORDER AND NOTHING IS THIS CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION OF ANY SUCH LOT SHOULD BE TAKEN AS IMPLYING SUCH. Purchasers are advised to have watches checked by a competent watchmaker before use.
