  • 2. What is Stauer's Independent Appraisal Value

    From time to time we may make reference to an “appraised value” or “appraisal report” for select jewelry and watch products. This value has been determined by an actual certified appraisal performed by an independent professional appraiser and certified GIA gemologist, who is not affiliated in any way with Stauer or its affiliates. Please note that the appraised value is not the suggested retail value of an item, and Stauer makes no representation as to the insurance value of an appraised item. Rather, the art of providing jewelry appraisals is a subjective process and values on even the same item can vary based upon each individual examiner’s training and professional evaluation. Although Stauer cannot guarantee the accuracy of any data or information provided by any third –party companies, Stauer always attempts to use reputable and established gemologists and professional jewelers who have a past record of reliability and accuracy in their appraisals.

    We often run special promotions for items where we allow "multi-pay" payments. However, multi-pay items are not able to be purchased on our website. Call is to place your multi-pay order. Additionally, multi-pay items are subject to credit approval. We may perform a credit inquiry through a credit bureau in conjunction with approving credit. Checks can not be used for multi-pay item purchases.

  • 3. What is California Proposition 65?

    California Proposition 65 is a "right to know" law that entitles citizens of the State of California to special warnings for all products that contain any of 850+ chemicals known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm when such chemicals are present in a product in excess of the allowable established limits, or otherwise recognized by the State of California. Stauer is fully committed to providing the highest quality products that are safe for their intended use by our customers and that comply with applicable law. And while we fully stand behind the safety of our products and while we do conduct testing of certain product categories for purposes of detecting the presence of certain chemicals from California's List of Chemicals, we cannot possibly test all of our products for each of the 850+ chemicals known by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harms. As an alternative to such testing, and to ensure compliance with California Prop 65 labeling requirements, we have elected to attach a warning label for all applicable products that ship into the State of California. We care about our customers' safety and hope this information helps you with your decision when purchasing products from Stauer. The current list of chemicals that are "known" by the State of California to cause cancer, reproductive harm or birth defects, as well as other information regarding California "Prop 65" can be accessed at http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65.html
