Limitation of Liability on 'Diamond' and 'Lab-Grown Diamond' Laboratory Grading Reports

A Diamond (including Lab-Grown Diamond) Laboratory Grading Report ("Report") is an independent 3rd party opinion regarding the quality of a diamond. While such Reports are based upon quantifiable standards, a certain level of subjectivity is always inherent in the diamond grading process. Moreover, the standards that the various diamond laboratories use are not uniform. Accordingly, D&D Jewelry's (dd.jewelplus.com's) transmittal or use of any such Report should not and does not imply D&D Jewelry's agreement with or endorsement thereof.

Further, D&D Jewelry makes no representation or express warranty and disclaims all implied warranties, with respect to the diamond laboratory grading reports accompanying or applicable to the diamonds that it sells, or the accuracy thereof. In no event shall D&D Jewelry or any of its employees or agents be liable to a customer or any other 3rd party for any loss, damage, or expense, or any consequential, incidental, indirect, exemplary, statutory, special, or punitive damages, resulting from an error in or omission from, or the issuance of, use of, or reliance upon, a report, regardless of whether or not the customer or such other 3rd party was advised of the possibility of such damages.

Customers will be kept informed and notified of the order status and anticipated/actual shipment date.

International Shipments (outside the U.S.A.)

We ship internationally, however, due to constraints/delays in customs procedures, any duties, tariffs, etc., orders will naturally require extra time for delivery, and shipping charges are variable. During the check-out process shipping charges shown already include insurance and handling, and will be added to your purchase amount. Please contact us should you have any questions/concerns regarding your order. In any event, we would contact you by e-mail, providing the order status. If you prefer to send your payment, we accept International Money Orders and Bank Wire Transfers.

We accept Checks or Money Orders, should you desire to make payments that way. Please make payments in U.S. dollars for the full amount of the order. Checks must include a valid nine-digit bank routing number (ABA code). All items are shipped only upon verification of funds. Please note that paying by check will slow down the order process due to payment processing and verification of funds. The usual delay for items purchased by checks is 7-10 business days. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have questions.

Return Policy

Unless noted otherwise in the product listing, money back guaranteed returns are accepted for all non-altered and regularly stocked non-customized items. If you are not satisfied for any reason, you may return your non-customized purchase within 30 days of receipt for a full refund as stated below. Please see below exceptions for brand-name watches & special order jewelry.

Please take note of the following points regarding refunds. Any deviations from the below instructions may result in the decline of your refund request or penalties. We kindly ask you to read carefully and comply:

• If you are not completely satisfied with your order for any reason, you may return your non-customized regularly stocked purchase within 30 days of receipt (see below for refund requirements). Exception: Due to heavy costs associated with “Special Order/Custom Orders” and “Brand-Name Designer Watches”, returns/refunds for any “Special Order/Custom Orders” or “Brand-Name Designer Watches” (see below for details) will not be accepted.
• Restocking Fees: There are no re-stocking fees.
• 3% of the amount paid would be deducted from refunds made using PayPal. For instance, if the sale price was $100, the refund would be reduced by $3. This is due to the fact that PayPal charges everyone a 3% "non-refundable" payment processing fee.
• Prior to mailing any item back to us for refund, please contact us within 30 days of receipt, so that we can provide you with a “Return Merchandise Authorization”. If we do not hear from you within 30 days of receipt of merchandise, returns will not be accepted regardless of the reasoning.
• Having repairs done outside of dd.jewelplus.com without dd.jewelplus.com’s written consent will result in the sale being considered final; meaning no refunds will be accepted and for all watch purchases, your watch warranty with dd.jewelplus.com will be void.
• DO NOT DETACH THE TAG. If the tag has been “cut off” and removed, or if the item is sent back with the tag separated and loose in the package, we will not accept the merchandise back for a refund, regardless of the reasoning.
• Before mailing any item back, please contact us to receive “Return Merchandise Authorization”.
• We ask you to kindly return all merchandise in their original functional condition (no dents or scratches, no missing or switched parts, no breakage, etc.) and in their original boxes with all tags intact.

Upon receipt of merchandise, all returned items would be inspected and identified by our professional staff.
• We obviously cannot accept returns for any merchandise that has been switched, altered, or damaged.
• We process all refunds (less shipping cost) after receipt & inspection of merchandise. Refunds would be processed using the same method as payment was received. Allow 4-6 weeks for refunds to be issued.

Warranty on your purchases

We are committed to providing the highest quality jewelry that lasts a lifetime. We want you to be happy with your jewelry purchase from us, now and ever after! Your beautiful jewelry was manufactured with meticulous attention to detail by our expert jewelers, and rigorously quality-checked throughout its manufacturing process. The design and precise craftsmanship of all our jewelry is nothing less than outstanding. We are confident in the quality of our merchandise to extend an automatic Warranty (referred to as "the warranty" hereinafter) against manufacturing defects on all fine jewelry purchased from our website at dd.jewelplus.com (unless otherwise stated on the receipt at the time of sale). A manufacturing defect is defined as any fault in the product’s materials or workmanship at the time of sale.

We are pleased to offer our customers "the warranty" against manufacturing defects for jewelry purchased through dd.jewelplus.com with the following exclusions and limitations:

• All watches and watch accessories purchased from dd.jewelplus.com are excluded from the warranty. Each watch or watch accessory that is purchased from dd.jewelplus.com comes with a warranty that is provided by its fine manufacturer. We will provide you with the terms of the warranty at the time of sale, and when necessary, will be happy to help you get your watch/accessory repaired while it is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Also, refer to the "Limited Watch Warranty" section on this page.
• Any damage to the jewelry brought on by abuse, misuse, or normal wear & tear voids the warranty. The warranty could also be nullified if the ring's shank was damaged while being worn causing the stones to loosen and fall out. Such damages due to neglect or normal wear and tear can be easily detected under magnification.
• Jewelry that has undergone repairs by a jeweler other than ours voids the warranty because we cannot be held accountable for the quality of unsupervised work performed by another jeweler.
• Stones weighing more than 0.05 carats are excluded from the warranty. Such losses could be costly and are typically covered by your insurance. Jewelry Insurance choices are available through our insurance partners.
• Damage to the center stone(s) voids the warranty. Despite being the world's toughest mineral with a hardness rating of 10 out of 10 (on the Mohs scale), diamonds can nevertheless break or chip. If a diamond is struck at the appropriate angle and with enough force, it will chip or splinter all the way to the end. All other stones with a Mohs hardness rating below 8 are vulnerable to wear damage and are therefore excluded from the warranty.
• To keep the warranty current and active, we must physically examine your jewelry at six-month intervals and if needed perform necessary adjustments and repairs (the cost of repair is the responsibility of the buyer). For your convenience, we will keep inspection/repair records. As part of the warranty, we will examine all diamonds/gemstones with a gemological microscope or loupe, so that you are aware of potential issues before they arise -- including possible loss of stones. The warranty also covers cleaning at six-month intervals; you’ll pleasantly notice how much brighter your jewelry will look when it is clean; this will also keep the diamonds/gemstones looking brilliant as they should.

In the rare event that you notice a manufacturing defect, please contact us within one month of your purchase. Upon receipt of the defective merchandise, we will carefully inspect them to make a determination if the aforementioned requirements have been met. Once your warranty is approved, we will repair the defect for no charge. Any returns that do not adhere to the aforementioned requirements may be rejected at our discretion.

Limited Watch Warranty

Brand-New Watches

All watches are quality-checked prior to shipping for authenticity, correctness of time, and function. Unless otherwise noted on the sales receipt, we provide a “one-year” parts & labor warranty on the “watch movement” to our customers on all new watches purchased from dd.ewelplus.com. During the term of the warranty, if the “watch movement” is defective in material or workmanship (under normal use), at no charge (including parts and labor), we will repair or replace it. Naturally, our warranty does not cover accidents, misuse, normal wear, and tear, or neglect and does not apply to bracelets, straps, crystals, crowns, or cases. In addition, any work performed on your watch without dd.jewelplus.com’s authorization will be at the customer’s expense and will automatically void your dd.jewelplus.com warranty. Should your watch require “Covered Warranty Repairs” during the valid warranty period, it must be returned to dd.jewelplus.com according to our “Return Policy”. dd.jewelplus.com is an independent manufacturer and is not affiliated with any watch company or distributor. dd.jewelplus.com DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES FOR BREACH OF WRITTEN OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF THIS WATCH, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Pre-Owned Watches

Before offering any “used” watch for sale, we inspect and clearly rate the condition of the watch as Unworn-Excellent, Excellent, and Good. We further authenticate and verify the quality with our watch experts. We provide a “1-year” parts & labor warranty on the “watch movement” to our customers on all “pre-owned” watches purchased from dd.jewelplus.com. During the term of the warranty, if the “watch movement” is defective in material or workmanship (under normal use), at no charge (including parts and labor), we will repair or replace it. Naturally, our warranty does not cover accidents, misuse, normal wear, and tear, or neglect and does not apply to bracelets, straps, crystals, crowns, or cases. In addition, any work performed on your watch without dd.jewelplus.com’s authorization will be at the customer’s expense and will automatically void your dd.jewelplus.com warranty.

Fitting Bezel on Your Watch

If we provide and fit the bezel on your watch, we warranty the bezel fit for a period of 30 days from the date of invoice. Do not swim or dive or expose your bezel-fitted watch to any other similar situations where it is submerged to any depth of any fluid; doing so may cause serious damage to your watch and will void your 30 days warranty with us. dd.jewelplus.com is not liable for any damages caused by water penetration or neglect (i.e. dropping, banging the watch, etc.). Do not expose your bezel-fitted watch to any higher than normal room temperatures (such as sauna, hot tub, etc.); doing so may cause gaskets to lose their shape & sealant properties. In the event your watch is damaged, we can offer you our watch repair services for a fee. Please note that the application of custom accessories will void the watch manufacturer’s original warranty & precludes factory service or selling watches as the original. dd.jewelplus.com is an independent manufacturer and is not affiliated with any watch company or distributor.

Warranty on “Servicing/Repairing” Your Watch

One-year warranty on the “movement only” provided that the watch has not experienced impact and/or has not been tampered with from the time it left our facility (this will be examined & determined by our watch craftsman).
