All jewellery comes with an exclusive 12 month guarantee on quality and workmanship. If you are not completely satisfied with the quality or workmanship of any item we will refund, exchange or repair your purchase at our discretion. Damage resulting from the unfair treatment of jewellery is not covered by this guarantee.
In addition to our 12 month guarantee, diamond jewellery comes with an exclusive lifetime guarantee from date of purchase. Micro, invisible and pave set jewellery is prone to having diamonds dislodged due to the nature of the fine setting with little gold separating the diamonds in order to maximise the brilliance of the piece. We therefore offer a lifetime guarantee with all of these pieces whereby we will replace any micro-set diamonds that may have become dislodged providing the jewellery had not been mistreated.
S-Time Asia co. will provide a remedy to any major or minor faults assessed. This remedy is in the form of a repair, exchange or refund as per Japan Consumer Law (ACL).
The Lifetime diamond guarantee is only valid if the diamond and mount are cleaned and checked every 12 months (conducted free of charge) at any of our stores, and the inspection is verified in writing on the Jewellery Certificate that will be provided with purchase. This guarantee covers any manufacturing faults. The guarantee must be fully completed and signed by an authorised S-Time Asia co. staff as verification that the jewellery has been cleaned and checked at least once every 12 months if applicable. If the guarantee shows any sign of alteration, it is entirely void. This guarantee is non-transferrable and is not valid for loss or theft. S-Time Asia co. reserves the sole right to judge whether or not the jewellery has been subject to abuse and misuse, abnormal wear and tear, impact, accident, alteration, substitution, worked on by any person other than authorised S-Time Asia co., or any other type of use causing deterioration. If the jewellery shows any of these, the guarantee is entirely void. White gold jewellery is often rhodium plated to enhance its appearance. This plating is not permanent and will require further plating every few years which is not covered under this guarantee. Up to 10 working days must be allowed for the item to be assessed.
Our EGL, GIA, HRD and IGI certificates are recognized around the globe for their integrity, defining industry standards in evaluation and appraisal. Nevertheless even these institutions vary sometimes when grading the same diamond because The best grading available to date has not yet been proven to be an exact science. These diamond grading laboratories maintain a worldwide presence in the major diamond trading centres, cooperates with leading organizations including the World Federation of Diamond Bourses and run extensive educational programs as part of their dedication to standardize all grading’s and raising the level of professionalism in the field. We therefore refuse to be drawn into having to defend any certificates that we supply with any of our diamond jewellery should they be at odds with a local jeweller or any other grading laboratory. We will however be happy to defend the fact that all our diamond jewellery represents excellent value for money.
