We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, or cancel orders at our sole discretion, including in cases of suspected fraud, abusive behavior, or violation of these Terms.

03eCommerce & Online Purchases
Pricing
All prices are displayed in U.S. Dollars (USD) and are exclusive of applicable sales tax, which is calculated at checkout based on your shipping destination. Prices are subject to change without notice. In the event of a pricing error, we reserve the right to cancel the affected order and issue a full refund.
Payment
We accept major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), debit cards, and approved digital wallets. Payment is processed at the time the order is placed. By submitting payment information, you represent that you are the authorized holder of the payment method.
Order Confirmation
Receipt of an order confirmation email does not constitute acceptance of your order. We reserve the right to accept, modify, or refuse any order, including for reasons of inventory availability, fraud prevention, or pricing inaccuracies.
Cancellation
Orders may be canceled within 24 hours of placement, provided the item has not yet shipped or entered production (in the case of custom orders). Custom and engraved pieces become non-cancelable once work has begun.
04Shipping & Delivery
Domestic Shipping
We ship within the contiguous United States via insured, signature-required carriers. Standard delivery typically arrives within 3-7 business days. Expedited and overnight options are available at checkout. All orders are fully insured in transit.
International Shipping
International orders are accepted at our discretion. The recipient is responsible for all customs duties, import taxes, and brokerage fees imposed by the destination country. Delivery timeframes vary by destination and customs processing.
Risk of Loss
Title and risk of loss for products purchased pass to you upon delivery to the carrier. Should your package arrive damaged or appear to have been tampered with, please refuse delivery and contact us immediately so we may file an insurance claim on your behalf.
05Returns, Exchanges & Refunds
Your satisfaction is essential to us. Unworn, unaltered merchandise may be returned within 30 days of delivery for a full refund to the original method of payment.

06In-Store & Point of Sale Purchases
Purchases made in our Lubbock showroom are governed by the same standards of quality and service as our online offerings. A receipt or copy of your invoice is required for all returns, exchanges, repairs, and warranty claims.

We strive to describe and photograph every piece with precision. However, slight variations in color, weight, gemstone clarity, and finish are inherent to fine jewelry and natural materials. Photographs may be enlarged to show detail.
Gemstone Grading
Diamonds and colored gemstones are graded in accordance with industry standards (GIA, AGS, or comparable). Independent certificates accompany applicable pieces. Treatments such as heat, irradiation, or clarity enhancement are disclosed when known.
Metal Purity
All gold, platinum, and silver pieces are stamped with their respective fineness (e.g., 14K, 18K, PT950, 925). Metal purity meets or exceeds applicable U.S. federal standards.
