Terms & Conditions

Scope and acceptance

This website, tommasobazzano.com, provides editorial information relating to high jewellery, natural diamonds, coloured diamonds, gemstones, engagement rings, jewellery design and bespoke high jewellery.

The website may also be used to initiate enquiries regarding private consultations, gemstone or diamond sourcing and bespoke jewellery commissions, including services available in Monaco and to international clients.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with them, please discontinue use of the website.

Editorial and educational content

Articles, gemstone guides, market commentary, photographs, educational materials and other editorial content published on this website are provided for general information and educational purposes.

Every effort is made to present information accurately and in good faith. However, gemstone markets, auction results, jewellery valuations, treatments, laboratory practices and market conditions may change over time.

Nothing published on this website constitutes financial, investment, legal, tax or professional valuation advice.

Bespoke high jewellery enquiries

The website may allow visitors to express interest in bespoke high jewellery, engagement rings, gemstone sourcing, diamond sourcing and other private jewellery services.

Submitting an enquiry, questionnaire, contact form, email or message does not create a binding contract, purchase obligation or guarantee that a commission will be accepted.

Each bespoke project is considered individually. If a project progresses, its scope, specifications, pricing, payment terms, delivery conditions, timing and any other relevant commercial terms may be confirmed separately in writing.

Private consultations may take place in Monaco or remotely, depending on the project and the client.

Diamonds, gemstones and natural variation

Natural gemstones and diamonds are individual products of nature. Variations in colour, clarity, inclusions, proportions, fluorescence, origin and other characteristics are normal and form part of their individual identity.

Photographs and videos are intended to represent gemstones and jewellery as accurately as reasonably possible. However, their appearance may vary according to lighting, photography, screen calibration, device settings and viewing conditions.

Where relevant, independent gemmological laboratory reports may be discussed or provided as part of a private sourcing or jewellery commission.

Geographic origin, treatment status or other gemmological characteristics should not be assumed unless supported by appropriate documentation or independent laboratory analysis.

Availability, quotations and pricing

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, jewellery, gemstones and diamonds shown on this website are presented for editorial, illustrative or portfolio purposes and should not automatically be considered available for purchase.

Rare gemstones and diamonds may be subject to limited availability and can be sold, reserved or withdrawn from the market without notice.

Any price or estimate discussed during an enquiry remains subject to confirmation. Prices may depend on gemstone availability, diamond characteristics, precious metal prices, craftsmanship, design complexity, taxes, duties, shipping and other factors relevant to the specific commission.

A binding price will only arise when expressly confirmed as part of an agreed commission or transaction.

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise indicated, the original written content, page design, graphics, branding elements and other original materials published on tommasobazzano.com are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

They may not be copied, reproduced, republished, commercially exploited or distributed without prior permission.

Certain photographs, jewellery images, auction material, historic references or third-party imagery may belong to their respective copyright holders and are used for editorial, educational or illustrative purposes where appropriate.

References to organisations, jewellery houses, auction houses, laboratories or brands do not imply sponsorship, endorsement or commercial affiliation unless expressly stated.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, liability is excluded for losses arising solely from reliance on general editorial information published on this website or from temporary interruption or technical unavailability of the website.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights or liability that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.
