Payment/Ordering Options

Payment Options:

We accept many payment options including VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal™.

For standard orders (i.e., non-layaway, non-special, non-custom) by credit card, your credit card is billed upon receipt of order. PayPal orders are also charged immediately by them. Only the non-refundable deposit is billed for those orders which specify that a deposit is due. The balance is billed when the item is ready to ship for those orders.

An order is not considered accepted until we can successfully bill your credit card or we receive your PayPal payment. Prior to this time, orders may be cancelled by us for any reason, including the sale of the item to another customer. Additionally, the item price is subject to change prior to final approval by Our company.

For non-standard orders (including orders with special payment arrangements but excluding standard layaway orders), payment in full must be made within 2 weeks of the agreed upon final payment date. After this time, prices may be subject to change or orders may be cancelled.

Ordering Options:

• Online orders can be placed 24 hours a day though this website. You can be assured that your personal and billing information is completely secure. You will receive an order confirmation by email.
  
  
• Telephone orders are gladly accepted. Please call us toll free at Toll Free: 866-432-4936. This is a great option particularly if you have questions that you would like answered.

Special Orders, Quotations, Pricing & Payment Policy

If you place a special order which has a non-refundable deposit, you may cancel the order without penalty within 24 hours of placing your order. If you need to cancel your order after that time, the non-refundable deposit will be retained. Changes to special orders may incur additional charges if work has already started on your piece.

If you contact us for special pricing or pricing for a special order, the quote we provide is subject to change at any time (due to fluctuations in gold, gemstone and diamond prices, for example). All quotes expire after 7 days from the date of issuance.

For special orders, a 10% to 100% non-refundable deposit is required upon ordering. The exact deposit will be provided with your custom quote or is listed with special order information on our website.

Special orders take 2 to 8 weeks to ship depending on their complexity. We will narrow the time frame down when we email your quote.

While we take every precaution to ensure that our quotes are accurate, it is possible that that we may make an honest mistake in our calculations or assessment of the tasks required to complete a job. In this case a revised quote may be provided. If a customer has already ordered prior to the quote revision, the customer has the option to cancel the order at this time with a 100% refund of any money paid. We reserve the right to cancel an order if the price has been miscalculated.

Unless specified otherwise, a non-refundable deposit is billed upon ordering with full payment due when the special order is completed and ready to ship. Unless prior payment arrangements have been made, if the order balance cannot be successfully billed or received within one month of completion, your order is considered "in default", your non-refundable deposit is forfeited and your order will be cancelled.

Ring Sizing Information

We do not charge for having one of our rings sized before the ring is shipped to you. However, if you return the ring or cancel your order before shipment, a non-refundable amount, which is listed on the product page under the ring sizing selection, applies. You may cancel your order, sizing request, or change your ring size without penalty within 24 hours of placing your order. After that time, you will be responsible for the non-refundable amount or ring sizing charge.

Please allow

for ring sizing. RUSH 4-Day Shipping is also available ($149/ring). We can also ship the ring to you without sizing and you are then welcome to return the ring to us for free sizing within 30 days. The customer is responsible for return shipping costs and assumes all risks for loss or damage in transit to us.

Ring sizing is done at no charge one time and return shipping is also free within the US (there is our normal international shipping charge for international orders).

If you require a resizing for a second time, there will be a charge for the sizing and our actual return shipping.

For resizing of custom or special orders, there will be a charge for the sizing and return shipping.

If a custom or special ordered ring cannot be resized and must be remade, there may be a larger amount quoted for remanufacturing and return shipping.

For most of our rings, your local jeweler can easily size the rings up or down one size. We recommend that you send us the ring for sizing for greater size adjustments. All shipments to us must be insured for your protection. The customer is responsible for return shipping costs and assumes all risks for loss or damage in transit.

Please note that rings altered by another jeweler (including sizing) cannot be returned and the 90 day repair warranty will be voided as we cannot be responsible for damage caused by other jewelers.

What if the ring size you need is not listed in the drop down menu on the product page?

We can size or remake most of our rings in almost any size. Click here for details.

Conflict Free Diamond Guarantee

MySapphireSource, along with the global diamond industry, has a zero-tolerance policy toward conflict diamonds. Through measures such as the Kimberley Process, which tracks diamonds from mine to market, the industry, in partnership with the United Nations, governments, and non-governmental organizations, polices diamond exports to prevent the trade of illegal diamonds. Our company only purchases diamonds through the largest and most respected suppliers who, like us, proudly adhere to and enforce the standards established by the Kimberley Process.

All diamonds in our jewelry are warranted to be conflict free. If one of our suppliers was ever found to be in violation of that process, we would immediately sever that relationship. We will continue to support and promote any process that works to uphold legitimacy in the diamond trade.

90 Day Repair Warranty

All jewelry purchased from MySapphireSource is covered by our limited 90 day repair warranty. The 90 day warranty period begins the day you receive your original purchase.

Our 90 day repair warranty covers each item for defects in manufacturing or loosening of gemstones or diamonds. We will repair any defective item at no charge and also provide free return shipping as well (international orders will be charged $30 to Canada and Mexico and $40 to all other countries for shipping).

Diamond side stones up to 10 points in size, all semi-precious gemstone side stones, and semi-precious center stones of up to 1 carat in size are fully covered by our warranty in case of loss due to a manufacturing defect.

Please contact us for warranty issues. We will provide you with a return shipping address. All shipments to us must be insured for your protection. The customer is responsible for return shipping costs and assumes all risks for loss or damage in transit.

Warranty coverage is based on the sole determination of Our company, and expressly excludes coverage for excessive wear and tear, poor care, abuse, loss or theft, or loss of a center stone (precious gemstone, diamond, or semi-precious gemstone over 1 carat). Repair or alterations (including ring sizing) performed by anyone other than Our company will void this warranty as we are not able to control nor guarantee the workmanship of another jeweler.
