LOOSE GEMSTONES RETURNS
If there are any changes in the optical properties of your gemstone, which our Limited Lifetime Warranty covers, you can return it. Please get in touch with our customer service for assistance if you receive a defective loose gem or if it develops any issues in the future. However, please note that we do not accept returns or exchanges solely to change the color or shape of the gemstones, as they have unique characteristics and are susceptible to color variations. A receipt or proof of purchase is required to complete a return claim.
OUR LOOSE GEMSTONE RETURN POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING:
- Gemstones Without Warranty Card: We do not accept loose gemstones that do not come with their respective warranty card.
- Unregistered Gemstones: We only accept loose gemstones with an active warranty, already registered on Luminaq’s system.
- Gemstones Set on Jewelry: Loose gemstones already set on a jewelry piece will not be accepted.
- Damaged or Chipped Gemstones: We do not accept loose gemstones that are damaged or chipped due to misuse.
- Incomplete Sets: Gemstones that are part of a set but are missing other components will not be accepted.
- Non-Genuine Gemstones: Loose gemstones found to be non-genuine Luminaq will not be accepted.
- Non-Returnable Gemstones: Certain gemstones, such as Lab-Grown Diamonds, are non-returnable due to their rarity and unique characteristics.
- Altered Gemstones: Loose gemstones that have been altered, treated, or enhanced in any way will not be accepted for return.
- Sale Items: Loose gemstones on sale are not eligible for return.
Please note that this list is not exhaustive, and additional conditions may apply. We recommend contacting our customer service for further information regarding specific gemstones and circumstances.
