All price quotations are subject to alterations. They are fixed according to the cheapest daily valid quotations on the international raw-material market plus shipping costs (packing, insurance, freight) and plus VAT (value added tax).

We are endeavoured to regularly update our quotations; however, there might be deviations in price due to short-term adjustments of the manufacturer or sub-supplier, or due to problems with the electronic data processing system.

Furthermore, strong deviations in price might be caused by massive price fluctuations on the precious metal market.We try to keep within reasonable limits such fluctuations by deliberately and selectively purchasing and stockholding, and prices will only be increased if articles have been purchased at a higher rate. For this reason it might occur that an article, 8ct, yellow gold (333/000) will be quoted at a more expensive rate than an article of 14ct., yellow gold (585/000); in such a case the 14ct article has been purchased and stored at a considerably cheaper rate and the 8ct article – run out of stock – had to be purchased at other (more expensive) conditions.
Contrary to many other suppliers, only those articles - and not the total product range - are re-calculated, which had to be purchased on the basis of changed price quotations,. However, it goes without saying, that you will always profit of the most favourable price quotations, even if we profit of a reduction in price on our purchase.

If you wish the prices to be confirmed before shipment please give us a note; a detailed proforma invoice will then be established for the articles in question.

We hope for your understanding and assure once more that price increases will only be made if compulsory, as customer’s satisfaction as well as a reliable calculation system is of  top priority to us.
