This deposit is non-refundable. Special orders and special commissions cannot be cancelled once the design is agreed upon.

Once the client has agreed upon the select diamond and the order is placed there can be no change of mind or cancellations.

If a special orders, special commissions or diamond sourcing is cancelled by the client, all deposits paid will be forfeited.

Final payment must be received, and funds must be cleared prior to items be released.

COURIER FEES 
 
Courier fees are a client’s sole responsibility. We are able to organise a courier on your behalf and quote accordingly upon request.

WARRANTY 

At Diamond Collective, we offer a twelve-month manufacturer's warranty with every custom piece. Here is what you should know about this type of warranty: 

You Can Void It

Should you bring our piece to an outside jeweller for resizing or repairs, this will void it as Diamond Collective cannot be held accountable for any outside work on their jewellery. 

Normal Wear & Tear

We know you want your piece to be an everyday companion, and that means it’s subject to wear and sometimes damage. Think about how much you do each day, especially using your hands! 

Your manufacturing warranty covers anything that can be drawn back to the manufacturing process.

Anytime your design has diamonds incorporated, you will likely run into stone loss with time. This is completely normal and an easy fix.

However, there's a difference between losing a stone because you're moving furniture vs. losing a stone out of the blue.

Our jewellers inspect each ring carefully to determine the cause of the damage and if the repair is covered under our warranty.

If we find the damage to be the fault of the wearer, we will happily repair your ring, but the cost will be passed along to the you. For example, if we find a diamond is missing because a claw is broken or lifted, this is an indication the wearer damaged their ring and would not be covered under the warranty.

Taking proper care of your ring will minimise the amount of stone loss you experience, but any loss that doesn't quite make sense may be manufacturing related which this type of warranty covers.

Make sure to discuss any stone loss you've experienced with your jeweller. General wear and tear and accidental damage includes but is not limited to, wearing of claws over time, lifting or moving of claws due to impact, loss of diamonds due impact on claws, discolouration of rhodium plating and misshapen bands due to repetitive wear and/or impact.

We suggest you have your diamond or gemstone jewellery inspected at annually and repaired if necessary.
Diamond Collective recommends having your precious jewellery insured to cover your pieces where manufacturing warranty is not valid.

MARKETING

By purchasing a design or special commission with Diamond Collective you understand that Diamond Collective reserves the right to feature photos, videos, rendered images and other creative assets of the design or special commission on our website, social media and other marketing platforms.

Diamond Collective will not mention client names or client photos without first seeking consent.

By providing Diamond Collective with your contact details, you consent to receiving Diamond Collective marketing such as email and text messages. You may opt out at any time via reply ‘Stop’ or getting in touch with the Diamond Collective team. 

INSURANCE 

Jewellery can be fragile — even a perfectly made ring may fall victim to being knocked and dinged against hard surfaces. There are microscopic claws holding each diamond in place, so it is possible for things to get damaged. A good policy under your insurance will ensure that you can have your ring repaired when you need to.  

We recommend Q Report.

LAB GROWN DIAMONDS

When purchasing a lab grown diamond through Diamond Collective you accept that Diamond Collective cannot guarantee the future value of your diamond. We do not recommend lab diamonds if you plan to resell or upgrade in future.

Diamond Collective can source both HPHT and CVD lab grown diamonds. HPHT and CVD lab grown diamonds both have the same material makeup as natural diamonds.

When purchasing a lab grown diamond through Diamond Collective I accept and understand that HPHT lab grown diamonds can sometimes register as moissanite on diamond testers. This is because the HPHT growth process can affect its thermal conductivity of the diamond which can cause a diamond testers to misidentify. 

Diamond Collective can provide a third party valuation upon request for HPHT lab diamonds purchase with Diamond Collective.
