1) This item is brand new and offered for sale at auction by a manufacturer or individual consignor. The item is in new condition with only the slight possibility of evidence of storage or handling for sale preparation.

2) All weights, sizes, measurements, as well as the color or clarity of any gemstones or diamonds mentioned in the titles, descriptions, introductions, notes or anywhere in the auction catalog shall be considered "approximate" regardless of the inclusion of the word "approximate" or any similar adjective.

3) Props used to aid in photography are NOT included in any lot, unless specified in the title and/or description.

4) This ring is sterling silver with a gold overlay and noted in the appraisal the ring is made with good workmanship. This may indicate not only the structure, but the micron amount of gold overlay the ring has. Keep this in mind because, when jewelry is made with gold over sterling silver, there is a possiblity that the gold can wear off to reveal the sterling silver beneath it. The time it takes for this transformation varies with the individuals wearing the item. One major cause for this is acidity in the skin, but other factors contribute to it, such as harsh soaps and cleaners. If you are unsure of how gold over sterling silver jewelry will react to your chemistry, there are several online articles that provide care and cleaning instructions.
