An appraisal is based on one professional's opinion. Precious stones are not tested or removed from mountings to determine carat.

Personal inspection is always the best way for an individual to make the most informed bidding decisions. The readings have been noted, but this IS NOT A GUARANTEE. Some items have been scanned in the Niton DXL. This includes items that are stamped and hallmarked. Jewelry and precious metals are not automatically tested. Apple Tree Auction attempts to catalog every lot correctly and will attempt to point out any defects but will not be responsible or liable for the correctness of the catalog or other descriptions of the lot. Written and oral descriptions are our opinions and should in no way be construed as a guarantee of any kind as to authenticity, age, condition, materials or any other feature of items being sold. All items are available for your examination prior to bidding.

There are no warranties or representations of merchantability, of fitness, nor of any other kind, express or implied.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL.ġ.Ěll items are sold 'AS IS, WHERE IS'.
