Description Disclaimers:
Fine Jewelry lots offered by Woodhill Auctions are of varying provenances and types. Every effort has been made to accurately identify the metals and where stated as platinum, gold or sterling silver these are guaranteed to be those metals. Some lots do not have the purity marks identifying the metal, but have been independently verified used metal testing equipment.
Costume jewelry is a broad category that encompasses all types of metals that are not predominately made of precious metals (platinum, gold or silver). Occasionally costume jewelry may include precious metal elements that are minor design elements. Lots are noted with the metal makeup where a clearly identifiable mark is found. Common marks encountered are:
EPNS - Electroplated Nickel Silver
HGE - Heavy Gold Electroplate
GP - Gold Plated
GF - Gold filled
RG - Rolled Gold
RGP - Rolled Gold Plate
OG or GO - Gold Overlay
Gold Tone
Pewter
Brass
Aluminum
Titanium
A large portion of the costume jewelry category is unmarked. The auctioneer's opinion of the likely metal makeup may be stated in the lot description, however no guarantee is made for accuracy. It is the responsibilty of the bidder to independently inspect the items. Stones set into costume jewelry should be presumed to be synthetic or enhanced unless specifically stated otherwise. Occasionally, the lot description may offer an opinion of what the stone material might be with "?", "likely", "presumed" or something to that effect. This is the merely the opinion of the auctioneer and is not binding.
Diamonds. If an item is listed as diamond is guaranteed to be a genuine natural diamond. If an item contains a known lab grown diamond the description will note that the diamond is lab grown.
Gemstones. Where gemstone identifications have been made, lot descriptions will state natural or man-made only if it is known. Natural gemstones used in jewelry routinely undergo treatments to improve clarity, color and stability using filling, dying, heat, irradiation among other treatments. These treatments should be presumed. Unless specifically stated, any gemstone identifications in lot descriptions may be of natural or man-made origin. Where an identification has not been made, the auctioneer may state an opinion such as "peridot color" or "possibly garnet". This opinion is not binding.
Ring Sizing Standardization of ring sizing equipment is not universal. Qualified goldsmiths have differing opinions on how size measurments on ring sizing sets and mandrels should be interpreted. In addition the specific design of a ring may impact how the wearer is able to put on and take off a ring. For these reasons ring sizes in descriptions are sometimes stated as a range of size and no gaurantee is made that the ring will fit the way you expect it to.
If a ring is noted as 'sizable' it is to be understood that a qualified goldsmith can resize the ring within 1 size up or down. Since sizing adjustments over 1 ring size are not considered, please call or text to discuss the possibility that a sizing could be done beyond 1 ring size. If you would like your ring to be sized, you may discuss ring sizing with us at removal or by calling or texting us.
If a ring is noted as 'not sizable' it may be due to many factors including: plating that cannot be easily restored after sizing, metal type, inlay gems that will break during sizing work. It should be presumed that all rings in the costume jewelry category are not sizable.
