How We Charge Your Bank Account

After placing your order online or over the phone, the Jewelry Exchange will not charge your bank account until we ship your item out.

Soon after placing your order, you should see a $1 pending transaction from ‘JEWELRY EXCHANGE TUSTIN CA’. This is not a charge and merely allows us to ensure your account is valid. This is not collected by the Jewelry Exchange, and will return to your available balance within a business day. Once this process validates your account, you will see a pending transaction for your order amount, and that amount debited from your available balance.

Note: Most banks drop a transaction from pending status and credit those funds back to your available balance if the transaction has not been charged within 5-7 days; therefore, if your order requires more than 5-7 days to complete and ship, you will have not yet been charged and may see the pending transaction disappear from your bank account and the funds credited back into your available balance. These funds will be debited from your account immediately upon shipment without reappearing as a pending transaction.

For further information on how your particular bank posts, displays, and updates transactions within your online account, please contact your bank.

Order Processing & Shipping Disclaimer

Double Value Guarantee

We guarantee the retail value of all finished jewelry manufactured by the Jewelry Exchange and not requiring center stones or customization, that are priced under $3,000, to appraise for double the purchase price.

Because appraisers can be influenced by competitors as well as customers, only appraisals prepared by Gemologists from the Jewelry Exchange list of independent appraisers (which are not affiliated with the Jewelry Exchange) or NAJA members that do not sell jewelry will be accepted. In the event that the appraiser underestimates the carat weight of the item, The Jewelry Exchange reserves the right to prorate the appraised value to actual weight. Any attempt by the consumer to influence a lower value on the appraised item will void the guarantee. Appraisals must be done within 30 days of purchase. The Jewelry Exchange DOES NOT do appraisals.

If the main item appraises for less than double the purchase price, the Jewelry Exchange reserves the right, at the option of the Jewelry Exchange, to either issue a full refund for the item (upon return of the undamaged item) and the cost of the appraisal or to issue a store credit for the difference between the purchase price and half of the appraised value.

Since there are no factory savings on loose diamonds, custom and special orders and most items over $3,000, our double value guarantee does not apply.

1 Year Limited Warranty

All jewelry is guaranteed to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for one year after the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or damage caused by the customer. The warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the item at the discretion of the Jewelry Exchange. Any work performed by a jeweler other than the Jewelry Exchange automatically voids the warranty. THIS WARRANTY IS NOT AN INSURANCE POLICY. It is the responsibility of the customer to maintain insurance against loss or damage not covered by the warranty.

Check Payments

Jewelryexchange.com does accept checks as a form of payment, although for promptness and convenience we highly recommend that all orders be processed on our website using a credit card or by using one of our instant credit methods. At this time we ONLY accept Cashier’s Checks (or Certified Bank Checks) and Money Orders as alternative forms of payment. All check orders MUST include the following items: driver license number, phone number for check verification, and physical home address. ALL orders will be subject to an Identity Verification process as an added security measure. As different banks process checks at different rates, please allow 3 – 4 weeks as a grace period for check clearance. Upon check clearance, your order will be shipped using the shipping method purchased on the order. A customer service representative will contact you with your Tracking Number upon shipment.

All returned checks will be subject to a minimum fee of $25.00. If the Jewelry Exchange or its agents institute any action to enforce payment of a check returned for any reason, including stop payments, the buyer agrees to pay all costs associated with the collection, including but not limited to court costs and attorney fees.
