The inclusion of treatment information on receipts serves primarily to

• A. Increase the price
• B. Prove you supplied the information
• C. Hide the treatment
• D. Ensure donor credit

Answer: (B)

Providing treatment information on receipts is about creating a verifiable record that the seller disclosed any gem treatments to the buyer. This transparency matters because treatments can affect a gemstone’s value, care needs, and how it should be insured or resold in the future. The receipt then serves as evidence that the buyer was informed, helping prevent disputes and demonstrating compliance with disclosure standards. It supports informed purchasing and clear documentation for future transactions. Listing the treatment on a receipt is not about increasing price, it doesn’t hide the treatment, and it isn’t about donor credit.
