What is the purpose of the item descriptions in the catalog? Are they legally binding?
The item and color descriptions you find in our catalog are subjective, a personal perception and are not legally binding. They are annotations that do not describe quality, but only the impression the item gives us. They are limited to what can be seen without technical or optical aid. For instance, translucent amber commonly lets the light shine through, but has inclusions. Transparent amber is clear up to a certain percentage as loosely indicated. Opaque amber does not let the light shine through or only to a certain degree. Opaque and translucent amber is usually stronger in color, while transparent amber only shows a light hue of color. Natural transparent amber, because of being very rare is the most expensive, but not necessarily the most beautiful. It much depends on the chosen purpose of each piece and the taste of the observer.
