Important Notes
Prospective buyers of coloured gemstones should be aware that some stones might
have been treated to enhance their colour or clarity. Sapphires and rubies are commonly
heat-treated and emeralds are commonly oiled. In the case of heat treatment, this
is permanent but can affect the durability of the stones. In the case of oiling,
this may need to be redone after a period of years. The international jewellery
trade has generally accepted these methods. It is not possible for Bearnes Hampton
& Littlewood to obtain gemmological reports on stones offered for sale and so
prospective buyers should assume all gemstones have been enhanced by some method.
Weights and measurements are approximate guidelines only, unless otherwise stated
to the contrary.
