Thinking of stocking shop with bronze and cz - then taking orders in precious metals / diamond etc...

Trying to find the correct wording to help customers understand the concept and satisfy trading standards ?

Ultimately looking to reduce insurance and theft.

TIA,
Keith

So you have display models in non-precious metals, but make to order in precious? Sounds pretty standard - much the same as the wedding ring sets you can buy in silver, but order as & when needed in gold & platinum?
Display models are not for sale?
Which bit are you worried about upsetting TS over?

Thanks Peter,

My concerns are if the items are priced in the window whether this constitutes an offer of sale eg.. 9ct £200

Ah, gotcha. "Available in Platinum from..." ?

Asked a lawyer... :)

If it's labelled as a display model and not for sale then there's no invitation to treat.

Would an asterisk next to the price - then a sign in the window explaining the asterisk as a display model also work ?

Thanks,

I'd have thought (never wise) that anything that indicates that *that* ring is not the one being offered for sale would be more than adequate.

Thanks Peter, great help.
