Gemstones IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BUYERS Historically many gemstones have been subjected to a variety of treatments to enhance their appearance. Certain enhancements, such as heating, are commonly used to improve colour or transparency in rubies and sapphires.

Emeralds are also frequently treated, usually with oils or resin, for the same purpose. Other methods, including staining, dyeing, coating or irradiation, may have been used on other gemstones including Jade and associated hardstone that may have been bleached (usually in acid), polymer/resin filled or dyed, or a combination of any of these treatments.

The international jewellery trade has generally accepted these methods.

Heat enhancement of colour is usually permanent, however, in some cases; this may have an impact on the durability of the gemstone. Gemstones that have been oiled may require re-oiling after a number of years in order to retain their optimum appearance.

It is, in suitable cases, Dore & Rees’s policy to obtain gemmological reports from internationally recognised gemmological laboratories describing certain gemstones sold by Dore & Rees. In the event that Dore & Rees have been given, or have obtained, reports for any lot in the sale these reports will be mentioned in the catalogue description.

However, it is not feasible for Dore & Rees to obtain a gemmological report for each gemstone offered for sale by Dore & Rees. If no report is published in the catalogue prospective buyers should assume that the gemstones may have been enhanced by some method. However, please note that there may not be consensus between different laboratories on the degrees or types of treatment for any particular gemstone. Prospective buyers should be aware that Dore & Rees’s pre-sale estimates assume that gemstones may have been subjected to such treatments.

ALL DIMENSIONS, WEIGHTS ARE APPROXIMATE.

DIAMOND GRADING TERMS Where printed in the catalogue, estimated diamond grades for colour and clarity are intended as guides for prospective buyers. Dore & Rees do not guarantee these estimated grades due to the limitations of mounts and settings.

Using techniques of manipulation and trompe d’oel to get her desired effect, each piece is an interpretation of a particular building. Her creations capture the client’s love and affection for a building of special significance. She specialises in celebratory and commemorative pieces which play with the power of architecture to inspire fantasy or trigger memory. Growing up in Oxford initially inspired her and she studied jewellery design at the famous Hornsey College of Art before being awarded a Crafts Council grant to establish her own workshop in 1977.

She has exhibited widely ever since and her work has been selected for many public and private collections around the world, including The Royal Scottish Museum, Norwich Castle Museum, Los Angeles Museum for Contemporary Art and Houston University, Texas and Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The Victoria & Albert Museum, London, acquired a selection of her design drawings as well as pieces for their jewellery and silver departments.

A Private Collection of Fine Wristwatches Breguet, Audemars Piguet, JaegarLeCoultre, Corum and Rolex. These are just a few of the names that are synonymous with the luxury wristwatch market and also, just a few of the high-end brands that Dore & Rees are pleased to be offering in our Fine Jewellery and Watches Auction.

Wristwatches continue to be a strong sector in the auction and collectors world. Whether buying for prestige or investment the attraction of rare or luxurious wristwatches seems to perennially confound the traditional trends of other less attractive genres.

Dore & Rees are therefore delighted to offer a number of high-end watches sourced from a private vendor whose love of such

timepieces also extended to a rare Maximillian Büsser and Friends HM4 Thunderbolt. This marvel of horological miniature engineering is also offered with a generous endorsement from MB&f to be serviced free of charge by the buyer. This is a rare chance to acquire one of their masterful creations.

Whether you favour the classic look of an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore or the more ostentatious look of a Corum rose gold Classical Flying Dragon, our sale has something for the serious collector of luxury wristwatches.

We strongly recommend that you attend the auction viewing in person if possible. You are responsible for your decision to bid for particular Lot. If you bid on a Lot, including by telephone,

absentee bid or online bidding, we will assume that you have carefully inspected the Lot and satisfied yourself regarding it’s condition. c. Please note that the Lots (in particular second hand Lots) are unlikely to be in perfect condition.

Lots are sold ‘as is’ (i.e. as you see them at the time of the auction). Neither we nor the Seller accept any liability for the condition of secondhand Lots or for any condition issues affecting a Lot if such issues are included in the description of a Lot in the auction catalogue (or in any saleroom notice) and/or which the inspection of a Lot by the Buyer ought to have revealed.

15. Descriptions and condition a. Our descriptions of the Lot will be based on i i. Information provided to us by the Seller of the Lot (for which we are not liable); and i ii. Our opinion (although it is likely that we will not be able to carry out a detailed inspection of each Lot). b. We will give you a number opportunities to view and inspect the Lots before the auction. You (and any independent consultants acting on your behalf) must satisfy yourself about the accuracy of any description of a Lot. We shall not be responsible for any failure by you or your consultants to properly inspect a Lot. c. Representations or statements by us as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price involve matters of opinion. We undertake that any such opinion will be honestly and reasonably held and accept liability for opinions given negligently or fraudulently.

16. Registration, Bidding and the Buyer a. You are required to register to bid by 5pm on the day before the auction. We reserve the right to impose a deadline prior to the auction by which you must register or by which we must receive a absentee bid. b. If you wish to bid on high value Lots, the registration deadline may be several days before the auction in order to allow us sufficient time to carry out the necessary checks. c. We reserve the right to require deposits at the point of Registration on high value Lots.

Deposits are refundable after the auction if you are not a successful Bidder. d. Lots will be invoiced to the name and address on the Registration Form. e. Absentee bids may be left with us in writing indicating the maximum amount to be bid against a Lot (excluding Buyer’s Premium and/or VAT and any applicable charges). We will execute absentee bids as cheaply as possible having regard to the Reserve (if any) and competing bids. If two Bidders submit identical absentee bids we may prefer the first bid received (where this can reasonably be ascertained). Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your absentee bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. f. Telephone bidding is offered on a first come first serve basis on high value lots. Neither we nor our employees or agents will be responsible for any failure to execute your telephone bid, unless our failure to do so is unreasonable. g. Bidding online is available via doreandrees.com and our auction partners EasyLiveAuction.com.
