In a Russian jewellery store bankruptcy, identify the seller and the precise item through the contract, receipt, tag and unique item number, then separate paid stock from unfinished custom work, repairs, consignment goods and ordinary shop inventory. An item may belong to the shop, a consignor, a repair customer or an existing purchaser. GIIS DMDK tracing data assists identification but does not replace title and payment records.
Each item has a trace
Unique number, tag, fineness, weight and stones identify the precise object.
Separate third-party items
Repairs, consignment and custom work should not be merged with shop inventory.
Payments have different grounds
Prepayment, full price, voucher and warranty claims require separate calculations.
Quick self-check
- Contract, receipt, work order, tag, unique number, photographs and payment evidence are retained.
- Seller, tax details, retail location and available GIIS DMDK records are checked.
- The item is classified as sale stock, reserved, under repair, consigned, in production or delivered.
- Metal, fineness, weight, stones, size, identifying features and accompanying documents are recorded.
- Prepayment, completed item value, unfinished work, voucher and defect claims are calculated separately.
Seller, Store and Precise Item
Match the receipt, contract, order record, tax details and retail-location information. A chain may use several legal entities while a marketplace may only provide listing or payment functions. Record the item’s unique number, fineness, weight, stones, tag and photograph.
GIIS DMDK and Traceability Records
GIIS DMDK traces precious metals, stones and jewellery, including marking and market-participant records. Review system status together with primary documents. A database entry matters but does not alone decide who paid for the item or whether title passed.
Consignment, Repairs and Custom Orders
A repair item remains customer property and is identified through the work order, intake record and photographs. Separate consignment goods through the consignor’s contract and inventory. For custom manufacturing, establish ownership of metal and stones, completion stage, staged payments and whether another provider can safely continue.
Prepayments, Vouchers and Returns
Full payment for a finished item, a manufacturing advance, a gift voucher and a repair fee are legally distinct. Prepare a separate calculation for each obligation. Do not merge return of non-defective items with defect remedies; applicable treatment depends on the item, sales method and facts.
- identify seller;
- locate unique number and records;
- record item status;
- separate third-party property;
- calculate the monetary claim.
Inventory, Storage and Residual Stock Sale
Reconcile physical items with accounting, GIIS DMDK, consignment contracts and customer orders. Storage should preserve tags, completeness and security. A debtor-asset sale should not include proven third-party items; disputed positions require individual review rather than automatic inclusion in one lot.

| Gift voucher | Terms and payment | Calculate unused amount |

Where ownership is proved, arrange authorised handover and record condition.
Can another jeweller finish an incomplete ring?
Completion, material ownership, technical feasibility and formal handover must be established.
Will a voucher be refunded?
