Fine Jewelry Guarantee

All fine jewelry lots are guaranteed to match the descriptions and material specifications provided. Please read the following details carefully:

All items described as platinum, gold (10k–18k, yellow or white), Platlite, or sterling silver are guaranteed to be solid metal — never filled or plated.

Any item described as a diamond is guaranteed to be a genuine, natural diamond unless otherwise stated. If a lab-grown diamond is present, it will be clearly noted in the description.

Gemstones — including rubies, sapphires, emeralds, alexandrite, tanzanite, amethyst, citrine, topaz, morganite, and others — may be natural, lab-created, color-enhanced, glass-filled, crystallized, or laser-treated. Natural stones will be labeled as such. Carat weights are approximate and typically fall within a 10% range of stated size due to mounting constraints.

Any appraisal, auction estimate, or stated retail value reflects the opinion of the evaluator based on comparable new jewelry in the current market. These values are provided for reference only and should not be the sole basis for purchase or resale. Karats by Auction House is not responsible for any errors, omissions, or changes in value.

When a ring is listed as resizable, it generally means a qualified jeweler can adjust the size up or down by one full size. If more than one size of adjustment is needed, please call or text 952-237-4888 to confirm whether the specific ring can be resized beyond that range.
