Rare Carat offers a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects on all fine jewelry.

We guarantee that all items sold will be free from any manufacturing defects at the time of delivery.

For any manufacturing defects, Rare Carat will repair or replace the item without charge.

The manufacturing warranty excludes coverage for wear and tear, loss of gemstones, product loss, theft or failure to obtain the repairs required to preserve the integrity of the jewelry.

Repair or service performed by a jeweler outside Rare Carat will void the warranty.

Some examples of common jewelry issues that would NOT be considered manufacturing defects include:

• The discoloration of precious metals caused by chemicals, make-up, immersion in pools and hot tubs, or bathing.
• Precious metals, and especially prongs, wear down over time and may require restoration work as part of normal wear.
• Prongs catching, wearing out, or bending over time due to everyday wear or normal damage, allowing a diamond to fall out.
• The loss of a diamond caused by damage from everyday wear or from other damage.

Orders placed between November 1, 2023, and December 9, 2023, qualify for extended holiday returns until January 10, 2024. Rare Carat must receive return orders by January 10, 2024 for processing.

All sellers on Rare Carat offer a generous 30 day return.

To qualify, please return your item within 30 days of shipment. We will provide you with a free insured return label via email. The return label needs to be scanned by FedEx before the end of the 30th day.

Items must be returned in their original condition, unworn, and accompanied with any original diamond certificates that were sent to you. A re-certification fee will apply if the certificate is not returned.

Please note: custom orders will be considered final sale. If you have any questions about our policy, do not hesitate to ask.

All of our sellers offer one free ring sizing up to 90 days after shipping. Contact one of our gemologists in chat or email marketplace@rarecarat.com to get the resize process started. Be sure to have your order number and the new size you need handy for faster service.

If you find the exact same diamond (matching grading report numbers) elsewhere for less, let us know before buying - we will try to match the price. Chat in with a gemologist for confirmation.
