§ 6.84.030. Written description of articles.

A.

No person shall offer for sale or sell at public auction any diamonds or other precious or semiprecious stones or imitations thereof, watches, clocks, jewelry, glassware or bric-a-brac, unless there is securely attached to each of such articles a tag or label upon which shall be plainly written or printed, in English, a true and correct statement of the kind and quality of metal of which the article is made or composed and the percentage of purity or karat of such metal. In case such articles are plated or overlaid, such tag or label shall contain a true statement of the kind of material or metal covered. When precious or semiprecious stones are offered for sale or sold, such written statement shall set forth the true name, weight, quality and fineness of such stones, and imitations shall be described as such. When watches or clocks are sold, the true names of the manufacturers shall be stated in writing and no part of the movement or mechanism thereof shall be substituted or contain false and misleading names or trademarks, neither shall secondhand or old movements be offered for sale in new cases without a true statement to that effect.

B.

Such tag or label shall be treated as a true and correct description of the article sold, and a representation or warranty thereof and shall remain securely attached thereto until the article shall be delivered to the purchaser.
