Damages and issues

Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you received the wrong item so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.

​

Exceptions / non-returnable items

​

For brokered gemstones, we work with photographs and videos. Occasionally colours of gems can vary depending on lighting and may look different in photographs/video than how they look to the naked eye. Minor inclusions are not always seen in photographs/videos. On occasion, gem weight is recalibrated when a laboratory report is completed. These are factors to consider when a gem is brokered for you. The Sapphire Merchant discloses all information available; however, there can be small unforeseen variances in natural gemstones that are not always known. Gemstones that have been brokered cannot be returned. Brokered gemstones are purchased on behalf of the client, imported into New Zealand, and tax is paid on them. We do not issue refunds for a change of mind.

​

Jewellery that is designed and manufactured for you cannot be returned. 

​

We will not issue refunds for gems that have been damaged during the process of being set into jewellery.  

We do not accept returns on sale items or gift cards.
