Free shipping offers do not apply to international shipments.

These charges vary by country but are required in order for the custom authorities to process and release the package for final destination delivery. For further information on duties, taxes and estimates please contact custom authorities or FedEx in the country of destination. Failure to respond to contacts from the shipper and/or failure to pay applicable duties and taxes may result in a returned/undeliverable package to the company/shipper which asses additional shipping fees. These additional shipping fees are the responsibility of the customer/purchaser and are withheld and deducted from refunds of a canceled/returned order.

Diamond Certificates

Company simply provides the grading reports to you as part of its service, but is not responsible for contents of such report or your reliance upon such report. You agree that you waive all claims against Company arising out of such grading reports.

These grading reports are detailed documents and expensive to replace. As a result, Company requires that you include the grading report with all returned diamond studs or other products which included a grading report. If you fail to include the original grading report with your return, you will be charged a replacement fee of $150..
