Return shipping
You are responsible for the cost of returning your item, and original shipping charges are non-refundable. Because gemstones are valuable, we strongly recommend a tracked and insured shipping service: we cannot be responsible for a return that is lost or damaged before it reaches us.
Refunds
Once your return arrives, we will inspect it and check it against its certificate. We will email you to confirm that we have received it and to let you know whether your refund has been approved.
Approved refunds are made to your original method of payment. Card refunds can take one to two billing cycles to appear on your statement, depending on your card provider.
Late or missing refunds
If your refund has not appeared, please check your bank account again, then contact your card provider or bank, as there is often some processing time before a refund is posted. If you still have not received it, contact us at yalagems@hotmail.com.
Exceptions: defective or damaged items
If your item arrives defective or damaged, please contact us as soon as possible with your order number and photographs. We will arrange a replacement with the same item where available, or a refund.
