Lifetime Engagement Ring Warranty

Every diamond ring we sell is manufactured under the tightest quality control standards and is carefully inspected prior to shipment. Most of these rings require very little to no maintenance at all, outside of general cleaning or a periodic check.

We stand behind every ring we sell which is why we offer a lifetime warranty with every diamond ring purchase. In the unlikely event, there is ever a problem with your ring, you can mail it to us for inspection. If the problem is deemed to be caused by a manufacturer defect, we will make the necessary repair free of charge. If it is deemed the problem was caused by normal wear and tear, then we will only charge you our cost for any materials, like the metal, diamonds, and so forth needed to make the repair.

Please note that the centre diamond in any engagement is not included in our engagement ring warranty. Although diamonds are the hardest substance on earth, it is still possible to break or chip a diamond if struck with enough force at the right angle. We recommend all our customers take an insurance policy on their ring which covers loss or breakage to the centre diamond, as well as loss or theft of the ring as a whole. For any further questions or to take advantage of your lifetime warranty on a ring purchased from us please contact us using our contact form

Diamond Trade-In Policy

Depending on the source of your diamond, a trade-in, a trade-up option may apply.  Currently, only our Red Box Diamonds® products carry a trade-in, trade-up option.  This enables you to trade in or upgrade your diamond for a larger or higher quality stone and get a 100% credit of your original diamond purchase. A condition necessary is that that the new diamond you are purchasing must be at least 100% greater in value than your original diamond. The diamond being upgraded must be in its original condition free of any chips or scratches, and also must be accompanied by it’s original GIA or AGS laboratory report.
