DISCLAIMER ON PRE-OWNED AND SECOND-HAND GOODS:
Thank you for visiting our website featuring second-hand products. We would like to bring to your attention that these items may exhibit signs of wear and age due to their previous ownership and usage. As such, we want to ensure that you are fully informed about the condition of these pieces before making a purchase.
Please note that the descriptions and images provided on our website aim to accurately represent the condition of each second-hand item. However, it is important to understand that variations in lighting, monitor settings, and individual perception may affect how the jewellery appears on your screen.
We make every effort to provide detailed information about any visible flaws, scratches, or imperfections that may be present on the jewellery or watch. Nevertheless, it is essential to bear in mind that these blemishes are part of the item’s history and can add to its charm and uniqueness.

If you have any questions or require further clarification about an item’s condition, please feel free to contact us.

However, we strive to resolve any issues or concerns promptly and fairly, maintaining our commitment to customer satisfaction.
By proceeding with a purchase on our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the above disclaimer, and you accept any minor imperfections or signs of age that may be present on the second-hand jewellery and watches.
