Product Presentation

We make every effort to represent our products as accurately as possible. However, due to photography techniques and differences in monitor color and display capabilities, images of products may appear slightly smaller or larger than actual size, and color may vary. Other items may be represented at a larger than actual size in order to clearly show details, or smaller than actual size in order to show the entire item. America Online users may experience blurry, distorted images due to proprietary AOL browser settings. Also, in compliance with FTC regulations and the standards set forth by our industry, the total carat weight of the diamonds shown on the Web Site may vary by plus or minus 0.04 carats from the presented total weight. Additionally, when a piece of our fine jewelry contains more than one diamond, it is our policy to present an average grade for color, clarity, and carat weight. We strive to provide our customers with the most accurate information at all times in order to aid them in making an informed purchase.

Product Availability and Pricing

Although we update our inventory regularly, sometimes our product availability may change before there is time to update the information on our Web Site. The availability of items is subject to change without prior notice. Additionally, data, including but not limited to prices, may be erroneously displayed due to system or typographical errors. We reserve the right to correct any and all errors when they occur, and neither we nor our authorized retailers will honor any erroneous prices posted on the Web Site.
