The piece of jewelry, a gemmological certificate (including an estimate of the "insurance replacement value"), and a beautiful box. Of course, an invoice from us.

The authenticity of our jewelry is confirmed by an official appraisal from the Austrian Gemological Laboratory (GLA). Sworn and court-certified experts work there as absolute experts according to the highest industry standards and using the most expensive analytical equipment. The appraisal contains a precise description of each individual piece of jewelry, including fineness specifications, details of the craftsmanship and period of manufacture, hallmarks, and much other interesting information.

The insurance replacement value is the amount required to replace the jewelry with a piece of equivalent value in the event of a loss or theft. This is not the original price, but rather the current market value if the jewelry had to be remade according to today's standards. Example: A gold ring with a 1 ct diamond is lost. The insurance company obtains a cost estimate for remaking this ring. The replacement value must be sufficient to cover all associated costs (purchase of the 1 ct diamond and gold on the world market, the goldsmith's labor time for making the ring, proportional fixed costs of ongoing management, insurance, taxes and duties, and finally, the jeweler's profit). 50% of the replacement value corresponds to the "exchange value between private individuals."" Commercial sellers are advised to offer the jewelry at a discount of 25% of the replacement value.

We typically need two business days to prepare the piece of jewelry for shipping. DHL Express shipping itself usually takes just one additional day within the European Union. All shipments are fully insured and provided with a tracking number. Therefore, the total delivery time is typically only 3-4 business days.

Please note:
🔸 For individually agreed prices, shipping is not included in the price and will billed separately.
🔸 The standard price indicated on the website includes shipping within Austria.
🔸 Individual price offers are only valid after written confirmation from us.
