Before Bidding:
We try our best to please our customers; we want you to be ecstatic with your purchase. This disclaimer is a general disclaimer for all items and may or may not apply to this specific item. Photographs are taken in a lightbox under a high-powered jewelry light. They are uploaded in small resolution (400x400) for efficiency purposes, since we have so many items. Colors may appear more vivid, darker or lighter, or a different shade / hue than what is pictured. Fine details on the item may be hard to make out. Unless otherwise written in the description, items (especially old pawn) will have, for their age, an acceptable amount of wear, scratches, nicks, open bezels, etc. If you want to know or see more, please ask us before the auction. We can provide higher-resolution versions of our photographs, and we can even take new pictures of pieces as desired.
Our items are sold as-is; our descriptions are not guaranteed to be 100% full & accurate representations of the lot. Please ask questions via email or phone before the auction begins to avoid unnecessary problems. Bidding in our auctions represents a binding legal contract. The highest bidder wins the auction. If there is any discrepancy as to the winning bid, it will be decided by the Santa Fe Gallery auction administrator.
Men's and Women's Rings and Watches are only placed into those categories for convenience, based mostly on size / shape. They are not necessarily men's or women's, though, so please browse freely. For bracelets, the measurement "around" is for the metal of the bracelet only. The "gap" listed is separate from that. The measurement "around" plus the "gap" would give you a whole circle/oval shape. Pottery "Bottom Width" measurement is the width of the circle the pottery actually rests on, not necessarily the width of the entire bottom.
Receiving Items/Returns:
In general, we only accept returns if the item is flagrantly different from its description, or if it arrives broken (not due to shipping). Before returning any items, please contact us first. Items returned without an agreement on our part are not our responsibility. If you notice anything wrong with your item, contact us within 48 hours of receiving it. Any problems noticed after the first 48 hours are no longer our responsibility. We will not reimburse you for shipping or the buyer's premium on any returned items.
