lifetime diamond upgrade

At Friendly Diamonds, we offer a LIFETIME upgrade policy for all certified lab grown diamonds.

Exchange Terms

• The diamond to be exchanged must be a loose diamond or a center diamond of a 'create your own' ring, earring, or pendant.
• The cost of the new diamond must be at least 30% greater than the current market value of the original diamond at the time of the exchange.
• Friendly Diamond's quality control team will determine the value with current market prices.
• The new diamond may or may not fit the original jewelry setting (ring, earring, pendant or any custom jewelry setting). If the new diamond fits the original setting, the customer can choose to reuse it by paying a setting fee of $100. If the new diamond does not fit the original setting, the customer may purchase a new setting. In this case, the original setting cannot be returned if the exchange is taking place outside the 30 day return period.
• Shipping costs for the items to Friendly Diamonds will be the customer's responsibility. The new item will come with our free shipping terms.
• The new items will be shipped once the exchanged item is returned and received at our office. Our quality control team will assess all exchanged items.
• Please refer to the instructions below for more information on how to send in your item for exchange.
• Please refer to the information below on shipping terms of the new item.

Valuation of diamond at the time of exchange

• The value of the diamond to be exchanged will be determined at its current market value at the time of exchange.
• The cost difference between the two diamonds will be calculated using the new diamond's market value and the original diamond’s current market value at the time of exchange.

Payments of additional amounts

• Any cost difference between the original diamond and the new diamond must be paid in full before Friendly Diamonds ships the new items.
• The customer may choose a different payment method for the order as required.

How to send in your item for exchange

• The customer can request a shipping label via email, phone or chat.
• The cost to ship the items for exchange will be the customer's responsibility.
• Ensure all original materials, including the actual product, the original packing box, and all documentation, including the diamond certificates and the appraisal certificates, are intact. Please note that a $250 replacement fee per certificate will be charged if the certificate has been lost or tampered with. Appraisal fees are non-refundable.
• For security reasons, do not write jewelry, diamonds, or other related words anywhere on the package.
• For safety purposes, please double-box your package.
• Affix the label to the outside of the larger box and drop it off at your nearest courier company location. (We recommend UPS, FedEx, or USPS as our preferred shipping partners).
• Friendly Diamonds cannot be held responsible for shipping errors – we recommend that customers only use a staffed store-front to send in exchange items. Please do not use drop boxes or non-staffed locations.
• Obtain a shipping receipt to confirm that the item has been shipped - this receipt will act as proof of shipment and insurance.
• Friendly Diamonds recommend purchasing insurance on the package up to the replacement value.
