Return Shipping & Packing

Use the original jewelry box and protective packaging wherever possible
Place the jewelry box inside a sturdy outer shipping box never ship the jewelry box on its own

Your return is fully insured in transit under our label. For your security, please don't write "jewelry," "diamond," or the contents anywhere on the outside of the package.

Exchanges

Prefer a different piece? You can exchange your item within the same 30-day window, following the same steps above. If your new piece costs more, we'll charge the difference; if it costs less, we'll refund the difference to your original payment method. Exchanges are free and never carry a restocking fee.

Refund Process

Once we receive your return, our team inspects it before issuing your refund. Approved refunds are handled as follows:

Refunds are issued to your original payment method
Refunds are typically processed within 10-15 business days of inspection; your bank or card issuer may take additional time to post the credit
If you paid using a financing option, your refund is applied to your financing balance with that provider
Original shipping charges, if any, are non-refundable

If your order included a promotional gift or qualified for a free item, that item must be returned with your order, or its retail value will be deducted from your refund.

Likewise, if a return affects your eligibility for a promotional discount or spend-based offer, your refund will be adjusted accordingly. Items that arrive showing signs of wear, damage, or alteration or missing their certificate may have the refund reduced, or the return declined and the item returned to you.

Gift Returns

If you received a Gemcult piece as a gift, you're welcome to return it within 30 days of the delivery date for store credit. You'll need the order number from the gift giver, and the original purchaser won't be notified. Store credit is issued to you and can be used toward any Gemcult purchase.

Resizing

Your first resize is free within the first year, including a free, insured return label. After that, resizing is a flat $50 plus insured return shipping. Some styles such as full eternity bands and certain pavé or tension settings can't be resized. Please note that once an item has been resized, it is no longer eligible for return. See our Warranty & Care page for details.
