NOTICE
Please note that second-hand jewellery is sold as is and may therefore show signs of use to a greater or lesser extent, without this necessarily being notified.
Mr Flandrin applies the standard designations and technical regulations in accordance with Decree 2002-65 of 14 January 2002.
1. Mr Flandrin designates stones modified by "traditional lapidary practices" in the same way as stones that have not been modified
("Article 3").
2. Mr Flandrin designates stones modified by other processes by the name of the stone, followed by the word "treated" or by an indication of the treatment undergone
("Article 2").
Stones not accompanied by certificates or attestations from laboratories have been estimated by Mr Flandrin taking into account any modifications in paragraph 1.
As far as watches are concerned, restorations, modifications, technical characteristics and serial numbers are notified to the best of our ability.
The same applies to the dimensions, sizes and weights indicated in the catalogue.
These elements are given for information purposes only to facilitate the inspection of the potential buyer and remain subject to his personal appreciation.
The auctioneer and Mr Flandrin cannot be held responsible for any omissions that may remain despite the precautions taken.
The absence of an indication in no way implies that a watch is free of defects.
No guarantee is given as to the condition of the watches and bracelets.
Servicing, adjustments and water-resistance are the responsibility of the purchaser.
The mention gold, platinum and silver without further indication describes lots in 18K gold 750 ‰, platinum 900 ‰ and silver 925 ‰, nevertheless, there may be a variable concerning certain titrations. The notion of the colour of a metal remains subjective; it is up to the buyer to make up his own mind. Mr Flandrin is at your disposal for any information concerning decree 2002-65 as well as the different types of existing treatments.
Identification techniques and analysis conclusions concerning the origin and classification of stones and pearls may vary from one laboratory to another.
It is therefore possible, in certain cases, to obtain a different result depending on the laboratory consulted.
CORAL (marked with an *)
Specimen in corallium rubrum and Hemicorallium regale (CITES appendix IIB pre-convention), is not subject to French regulations (Regie 338/97 of 9/12/1996 in its article 2-W mc), this coral not being collected on the French coasts. This specimen is therefore not subject to the prohibition of the French environmental code.
This specimen can therefore be marketed in the European Union as the material is worked in the form of jewellery.
However, a CITES re-export permit will be required to leave the European Union and this will be at the expense of the future buyer.
