5. Information Presented on the Site

The Gallery invests significant effort in presenting accurate, professional, and up-to-date information.

However, the information on the Site is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional opinion, valuation, investment advice, legal advice, or a recommendation to purchase any particular item.

Product descriptions are based on professional inspection, years of experience, and accepted sources of information in the field of antique jewelry. Nevertheless, typographical errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or unintentional changes may occur.

The Gallery may update, correct, or remove any information on the Site at any time, without prior notice.

6. Product Images

The Gallery makes every effort to present high-quality images with colors as close to reality as possible.

However:

• Product colors may vary depending on the screen, mobile device, display settings, and lighting.

Digital enlargement of images may highlight natural signs of wear, age marks, or details not visible to the naked eye.

Item dimensions are detailed in the product description, and these dimensions govern in the event of a discrepancy between the perceived size in an image and the actual size.

Images are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute a guarantee of the exact tone, color, or appearance of an item.

7. The Unique Nature of the Items

Most items presented on the Site are antique jewelry, vintage jewelry, or rare collectible items.

Accordingly, the user acknowledges that:

• These are items created many years ago, sometimes decades or centuries in the past.

Signs of age, wear, natural erosion, or historical repairs are often part of the item's character and originality.

Such signs do not necessarily constitute a defect, but rather reflect the item's age and history.

If needed, customers may contact the Gallery for additional images, videos, measurements, or supplementary information prior to making a purchase.

8. Product Availability

Most items presented on the Site are one of a kind.

Accordingly:

• The sale of a particular item removes it from stock.
• The availability of an item cannot be guaranteed until the transaction has been completed and confirmed.

It is possible that several customers may express interest in the same item within a short period of time.

If an item becomes unavailable before a transaction is completed, the Gallery will notify the customer as soon as possible, and any amount paid, if paid, will be refunded in accordance with applicable law.

9. Prices

All prices displayed on the Site are in the currency shown on the Site at the time of browsing.

The Gallery may update prices from time to time without prior notice.

The binding price is the price confirmed as part of the actual transaction.
