1. Every person, firm or corporation engaged in performing work upon any watch, clock or jewelry, for a price, shall have a lien upon the watch, clock or jewelry for the amount of any account that may be due for the work done thereon. The lien shall also include the value or agreed price, if any, of all materials furnished by the lienholder in connection with the work.
2. If any account for work done or materials furnished shall remain unpaid for 1 year after completing the work, the lienholder may, upon 30 days' notice in writing to the owner specifying the amount due and informing the owner that the payment of the amount due within 30 days will entitle the owner to redeem the property, sell any such article or articles at public or bona fide private sale to satisfy the account.
3. The notice may be served by registered or certified mail with return receipt demanded, directed to the owner's last known address, or, if the owner or his or her address be unknown, it may be posted in two public places in the town or city where the property is located.
4. The proceeds of the sale, after paying the expenses thereof, shall first be applied to liquidate the indebtedness secured by the lien, and the balance, if any, shall be paid over to the owner.
5. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed as preventing the lienholder from waiving the lien herein provided for, and suing upon the amount if the lienholder elects to do so.
