Product Details and Information on Our Website

The products on this website are not shown to actual size nor are the images binding as to detail. The reproduction of colour is as accurate as photographic and publishing procedures allow. Please be aware that there may be differences in colour depending on individual screen calibration. Due to photography techniques and screen defaults, some products may appear larger or smaller than their actual size. Other products may be shown larger than their actual size so that details can be clearly viewed by you. In terms of proportion, we aim to keep each image as accurate as possible.

We make every effort to ensure that all information on this website is totally accurate. If any errors appear, we will correct them as soon as possible. We regret that in the very unlikely possibility that errors appear in either product descriptions or product details, it will not be possible for us to honour the incorrect information.

Product Availability

Due to the volume of orders and the fact that each of our diamond creations are unique, an item can go out of stock before we are able to post notification on our website. In the rare event that this occurs, we will notify you by telephone call or e-mail as quickly as possible in order to arrange for a substitute item of the equivalent price. You shall be entitled to reject the substitute item in which case we will arrange to refund the purchase price to you as soon as possible.

Some of our diamond rings are limited in the number of sizes to which they can be adjusted. We ask for the size you require when you place your order. If this is known, we will endeavour to size the ring to the correct size in the time-scale we quote you after your order is received. In the event that the ring cannot be sized to the correct size, we may need to manufacture a new ring for you. It may be necessary to source a new diamond to ensure we can fulfil the order and meet your requirements. We will keep you informed if this is the case and update you on a delivery date. We will endeavour to keep the characteristics of the diamond in the replacement ring as close to the original as possible but reserve the right to substitute a diamond of equivalent monetary value to the original. You may be required to pay an additional amount to fulfil any order that is placed in this way. Similarly we will refund any difference if the substitute ring is of lower monetary value than the original.

If a product is shown at a price lower than it’s actual price, we will at our discretion cancel the order and inform you of the cancellation or contact you for further instructions. We may offer the option to pay the difference between the lower price and the actual price. We may arrange for a substitute item of the correct price to be supplied to you.

A binding contract is formed when you have received an e-mail from us confirming that your order has been accepted.
Goods will be despatched as soon as the order is confirmed and payment has been cleared. This process may be made slightly longer if we need to adjust the size of the ring you have ordered. We aim to dispatch all orders within seven working days as soon as your payment has been cleared and the ring adjusted accordingly.
A signature may be required to acknowledge your receipt of the order. Please make arrangements for someone you trust to be available at the delivery address so that they can acknowledge receipt of your order.
We will only ship to the address of the registered card holder. After the 14 day change of mind policy has expired, we will despatch the independent diamond certificate to you under separate cover and your order will be complete. For your information, all the diamond characteristics are included on the document for insurance which we send to you along with your purchase.
Goods that may need to be ordered specially from our suppliers to fulfil your order may take longer. We will advise you of the expected delivery time of such items. If this is not suitable to you, you may request a refund or exchange as set out in the terms of our Returns Policy.

Policy on Conflict Diamonds

We are aware of the situation regarding “Conflict Diamonds” and are fully complying with the directions that our industry has put in place to prevent this trade. We are gratified that all countries with significant involvement in the Diamond Trade and the leading industry associations have co-operated in creating a global system to combat the traffic in conflict diamonds. As retailers, we will do everything we can to make the new system effective.

The complimentary safeguards adopted by governments and by the industry mean that the diamond supply chain will be protected as never before from the trade in conflict diamonds. Customers can be confident that concrete, comprehensive measures are being taken to assure that diamonds offered for sale are “Conflict Free”.

With effect from 1 January 2003, the UK Government is following clear official guidelines. They bar the importation of shipments of rough diamonds that lack appropriate government certification from the exporting country or that come from nations that fail to subscribe to the new international agreement known as the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme.

The most important contribution we can make within our industry is to deal only with trade suppliers of diamonds and diamond jewellery that comply with the programme of self-regulation. We fully adhere to that policy.

We have notified our trade suppliers of diamonds and diamond jewellery that merchandise we buy derived from rough diamonds mined after 31st December 2002 is to be accompanied by a warranty in the form approved by the International Diamond Manufacturers Association and the World Federation of Diamond Bourses. This warranty assures us that the supplier vouches for the legitimacy of the merchandise and that the supplier, in turn, has required the same warranty from their source of merchandise. Following the recommendations of industry leaders, we have retained for inspection the warranties accompanying our purchases of diamonds and diamond jewellery.

Entire agreement

These terms and conditions, together with our current Website prices, delivery details, contact details and Privacy Policy, set out the whole of our agreement relating to the supply of the goods to you by us. Nothing said by any sales person or other representative on our behalf should be taken as a variation of these terms and conditions or about the nature or quality of any goods offered for sale by us. Save for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, we shall have no liability for any such representation being untrue or misleading.

Termination

We reserve the right to remove you as a user of the website and/or prevent any further use in the event that you violate any of these Terms and Conditions. If we consider there to be a risk of liability or loss to us, we may take any action deemed necessary to prevent such a liability or loss from occurring.

Indemnity
