Stones, metal and marks
Bidders expect the principal stones, their cut and approximate weight, the metal and its marks, and the period or maker. An old European cut or a rose cut tells them the date as much as the style does.

Jewellery catalogued the way a gemmologist would
Jewellery bidders buy on the stones, the metal and the period, and they read treatment disclosures closely. Auctionomy gives every lot room to state all of it, on a website in your house's own colours.
How your bidders buy
What your bidders read for
Treatment is disclosed
Heating and other enhancements change the value of rubies, sapphires and emeralds. A laboratory report stating whether treatment was detected carries real weight with bidders.
Measurements and fit
Ring size, bracelet length and pendant dimensions decide whether a piece suits a bidder, so they belong in every description.
Catalogued your way
Every line of the entry has its place
Description, estimate, condition and provenance are separate parts of every lot on Auctionomy, and each one shows on the lot page. The entry shown here is an illustration, written the way the trade writes it.
