MELEE DIAMONDS
- We sell recycled natural & lab-grown melee as two separate lines, and they're never mixed. Every diamond is tested on the De Beers Synth Detect machine before it goes into stock, so we know exactly which is which. If a diamond sold to you as natural ever turns out to be lab-grown, you can return it to us for a full credit.
- Melee that has been invoiced must be returned within 30 days of the invoice date, or it will be subject to a $50 restocking fee.
- Melee memos are 7 days. We don't offer long-term melee memos. After 7 days, the diamonds should be purchased or returned.
CERTIFIED DIAMONDS
- All of our certified diamonds are graded and certified by GIA.
- Our GIA certified diamonds are listed on RapNet with both the memo price and the cash price. We don't negotiate or take offers on our diamonds.
- To receive the cash price, payment must be received within 7 days of the memo date. After 7 days, purchased diamonds are invoiced on 30-day terms.
- Certified diamond memos are 7 days. We don't offer long-term memos for certified diamonds. After 7 days, the diamonds should be purchased or returned.
- Original GIA certificates are released once the diamond has been purchased and invoiced.
ESTATE JEWELRY
- All estate jewelry items are sold "as is" without any express or implied warranties or guarantees. This means you assume any risks associated with the purchase and use of the item, including any risks arising from defects or damage.
- Estate jewelry may have wear, damage or other defects that aren't visible or apparent at the time of sale. We want to be transparent about any potential defects, so please ask us any questions you have before you buy.
- You have 30 days from the date of sale to return the item if you're not satisfied.
- If your item needs repair and can be repaired, our expert jewelers will be happy to repair it at our wholesale cost, plus inbound and return shipping charges.
- Diamond and colored gemstone weights shown on our website or in our literature are estimates and may vary from the actual weight. We can't be held responsible for any discrepancies in the actual weight of the stones.
CLOSEOUT JEWELRY
- All closeout jewelry items are sold "as is" without any express or implied warranties or guarantees. This means you assume all risks associated with the purchase and use of the item, including any risks arising from defects or damage.
- Closeout jewelry may have wear, damage or other defects that aren't visible or apparent at the time of sale. We want to be transparent about any potential defects, so please ask us any questions you have before you buy.
- You have 30 days from the date of sale to return the item if you're not satisfied.
- If the item is damaged, or needs refurbishment due to normal wear and tear (and can be repaired), we'll contact the original manufacturer and try to arrange a free repair on your behalf. If the original manufacturer won't repair the item for any reason, White Pine Wholesale isn't responsible for any costs.
- If your item can be repaired but the original manufacturer won't repair it for free, our expert jewelers will be happy to repair it at our wholesale cost, plus inbound and return shipping charges.
CAD JEWELRY PRODUCTION
- During the first year after purchase, provided the item has only been subject to normal wear and tear, it's covered by our one-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
- Warranty repairs are subject to White Pine Wholesale's inspection and sole determination, and expressly exclude coverage for excessive wear and tear, physical or accidental abuse, loss and theft.
- Our one-year limited warranty doesn't entitle the customer to a refund of any kind.
- Repairs or alterations made to the item after purchase by any jeweler other than White Pine Wholesale, or warranty service performed by anyone other than White Pine Wholesale, will void this warranty, as we can't guarantee the quality of that work.
- If the item is damaged, or needs refurbishment due to abnormal wear and tear (and can be repaired), our expert jewelers will be happy to repair it at our wholesale cost, plus inbound and return shipping charges.
- Warranty coverage is available only to the business that purchased the covered product directly from us, and is not transferable.
- White Pine Wholesale disclaims any liability for consequential or incidental damages for breach of written or implied warranty of any item, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Our warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply.
