Information on Our Site

Expressions Jewelry is committed to providing current and accurate information on our web sites, email, chat, and telephone communications. We do not, however, warrant that this information is always correct, accurate or complete. In rare circumstances, data, including prices, may be inaccurately displayed on our Site due to system and typographical errors which may occur. Inadvertent errors or inaccurate advertised prices are not binding on Expressions Jewelry, and may be adjusted by Expressions Jewelry at any time. Expressions Jewelry reserves the right to correct any and all errors when they do occur. If an order is placed with a lower product’s listed price than the actual price, Expressions Jewelry will, at its discretion, either advise the customer before shipping the product or cancel the order and notify the customer of such cancellation. Expressions Jewelry apologizes for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Information that we communicate is not a binding contract, and should not be treated as such. The sole remedy of a customer acting on incorrect information is to request a cancellation of the order placed as a result of this incorrect information. If an order has been shipped, the customer agrees to either return the product for full credit or pay the difference between the actual and charged prices. Please review our Return Policies.

Expressions Jewelry holds a dynamic and high volume inventory. The stock availability on our website is listed "as is" and is subject to change. If a product in an order is out of stock, we will advise the customer immediately with possible options. Products may appear on the Expressions Jewelry website larger or smaller than their actual size. Given the variation in computer monitor settings, color and size may vary slightly when viewing product photography. In compliance with industry standards and FTC regulations, carat total weight may vary 0.05 carats from stated weight. For gemstone and pearl measurements, a tolerance of 0.25mm is allowed. For diamond jewelry set with multiple diamonds, we provide the minimum total carat weight for the piece. Color and clarity grades are expressed as either a minimum or an average depending on the number of diamonds. If stated as a minimum, all diamonds within the piece are at or above the stated quality. If expressed as an average, collectively the quality is equal to or exceeds the grade stated.

Expressions Jewelry retains the full unrestricted rights to all jewelry designs, whether custom or standard, and may choose to market or sell jewelry based on such designs.

Expressions Jewelry's product details and prices are also subject to change without notice. All of our prices are final and non-negotiable. Additionally, in order to conserve natural resources, and maintain the high quality of our pieces, Expressions Jewelry does not allow multiple pieces to be purchased for comparison, which is the act of buying several items with the intent of keeping the item that you like best and returning the remaining items that were purchased. If you have any questions regarding our policy, please contact our Customer Service.

Expressions Jewelry and any affiliated companies provide natural diamond origin information – whether on this website, in marketing materials, in materials provided to any purchaser, or anywhere else – without any warranty of any kind, either express or implied. All implied representations, warranties and conditions relating to diamond origin are hereby disclaimed where applicable. Natural diamond origin information is provided based upon information provided by the supplier, as well as demonstrated supplier adherence to the Expressions Jewelry chain of custody protocol. While reasonable commercial efforts are made to ensure the accuracy of origin information provided, there can be no guarantee or warranty of the diamond origin information. The above limitation of liability extends to any persons who viewed Expressions Jewelry natural diamonds listed with origin, any persons who purchased Expressions Jewelry natural diamonds listed with origin, and to any other persons who may thereafter acquire Expressions Jewelry natural diamonds that had been listed with origin.

All representations including representations regarding gemstone origin, recycled content of precious metals, and estate information, are provided to the best of Expressions Jewelry’s knowledge and without guarantee or warranty of any kind.

Your Account and Order

When you access or use the Expressions Jewelry website or your personalized Expressions Jewelry account, you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and for restricting access to your computer. You are further responsible for all activities that occur under your personal account and your password. If you are under the age of 18 years old, you may use Expressions Jewelry only under the guidance and direction of a parent or guardian. Please note that Expressions Jewelry reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content or cancel orders.

In the case where a customer files a chargeback, Expressions Jewelry has the right to recover its direct and indirect costs, and cancel any promotional items, free shipping, or other benefits, as determined in Expressions Jewelry's sole and absolute discretion.

Diamond Certificates

When you order a loose diamond, Expressions Jewelry will ship it to you with the accompanying diamond certificate which is a diamond grading report. Customers that purchase lab grown diamonds with GIA grading reports will not receive a hard copy of the report. They will receive a link to the online certificate via email after their diamond purchase.
These grading reports are detailed documents created by diamond grading experts at highly-respected diamond laboratories. These diamond grading reports are extremely expensive to replace and as a result of this, Expressions Jewelry requires each diamond grading report to be included with each returned diamond. If you do not include the diamond grading report with your return, you will be charged a replacement fee of two hundred and fifty dollars ($250.00).

Passage of Title

Title for goods purchased passes from Expressions Jewelry to the purchaser’s designee at the time that goods are delivered to the designee.

Order Approval and Cancellation

Receipt of an order confirmation message from Expressions Jewelry only confirms that your order request has been received. Customer orders are not accepted by Expressions Jewelry until the time they have been processed and approved at our headquarters. Expressions Jewelry is not obligated to complete a customer order, and reserves the right to cancel products or services to any customer for any reason at any time. The customer's sole remedy in such cases will be the full refund of any funds that we have collected in reference to the canceled products and/or services.
