We regret that in the very unlikely possibility that errors appear in prices, it will not be possible to honour mistaken information. If a product is shown at a price lower than it's actual price, we will at our discretion cancel the order and inform you of the cancellation or contact you for further instructions. We may offer the option to pay the difference between the lower price and the actual price. We may arrange for a substitute item of the correct price to be supplied to you. You are of course entitled to reject this substitute item in which case we will arrange to refund the purchase price to you as soon as possible. If the order has been shipped, you will be required to pay the difference between the lower price and the actual price or alternatively you can return the product with all packaging and paperwork at your expense.
Due to the volume of orders and the fact that each of our diamond creations are unique, an item can go out of stock before we are able to post notification on our website. In the rare event that this occurs, we will notify you by telephone call or e-mail as quickly as possible in order to arrange for a substitute item of the equivalent price. You shall be entitled to reject the substitute item in which case we will arrange to refund the purchase price to you as soon as possible.
Some of our diamond rings are limited in the number of sizes to which they can be adjusted. We ask for the size you require when you place your order. If this is known, we will endeavour to size the ring to the correct size in the time-scale we quote you after your order is received. In the event that the ring cannot be sized to the correct size, we may need to manufacture a new ring for you. It may be necessary to source a new diamond to ensure we can fulfil the order and meet your requirements. We will keep you informed if this is the case and update you on a delivery date. If this is not suitable to you, a refund or exchange of the ring can be requested as set out in the terms of our Returns Policy. We will endeavour to keep the characteristics of the diamond in the replacement ring as close to the original as possible but reserve the right to substitute a diamond of equivalent monetary value to the original. You may be required to pay an additional amount to fulfil any order that is placed in this way. Similarly we will refund any difference if the substitute ring is of lower monetary value than the original. You can of course opt for an exchange or refund as set out in the terms of our Returns Policy.
For your convenience we accept the following methods of payment:
We do not sell or accept gift certificates or vouchers for use on the website.
When you decide to purchase a ring, engagement ring or piece of diamond jewellery from the website, the following process is employed by us to process and fulfil all orders. On our server, we will collect your information to include your name, address, e-mail address, contact telephone numbers and ring size where appropriate. You will then be directed to SagePay's secure server to input your card details. When payment has been authorised we will e-mail a confirmation that your order is being processed. All orders must be paid for in advance and credit and debit cards are therefore debited as soon as you place your order.
During the processing of your order, we will again contact you by e-mail or telephone to confirm your ring size if appropriate, the delivery address and any other special requirements you may have. Once your order has been processed, we will send you a final e-mail confirming your order has been accepted. A binding contract is formed when you have received an e-mail from us confirming that your order has been accepted.
Goods will be despatched as soon as the order is confirmed and payment has been cleared. This process may be made slightly longer if we need to adjust the size of the ring you have ordered. We aim to dispatch all orders within seven working days as soon as your payment has been cleared and the ring adjusted accordingly. All orders are fully insured. A signature may be required to acknowledge your receipt of the order. Please make arrangements for someone you trust to be available at the delivery address so that they can acknowledge receipt of your order.
Goods that may need to be ordered specially from our suppliers to fulfil your order may take longer. We will advise you of the expected delivery time of such items. If this is not suitable to you, you may request a refund or exchange as set out in the terms of our Returns Policy.
If you change your mind, or are unhappy with the item you have purchased you may return it to us for an exchange or full refund within 14 days of receipt of your order. Please ensure that any goods returned for exchange or refund are in the same condition in which they were received by you (unworn and unmarked), along with all the packaging and paper-work that was provided with the goods. Please use the returns label we provide with all orders.
All goods returned for exchange or refund must be fully insured by you at your own expense. All goods sent for refund or exchange must be sent via Royal Mail Special Delivery or by Registered Post if posted in the Republic of Ireland. Please include a covering letter with your details and instructions on how you wish us to proceed.
Please call or e-mail us to inform us that you are intending to return an item. This is for added security and ensures we can process the refund or exchange as speedily as possible.
We aim to process your refund or exchange within 7 working days of receipt of the returned goods. Our registered valuers and gemmologists will test all diamonds that have been returned to ensure their authenticity and check the diamond characteristics against the diamond certificates we hold for each diamond. Refunds will be issued when this process has been completed.
Each diamond ring, engagement ring and piece of diamond jewellery purchased on the website is accompanied by a diamond certificate issued by one of the leading international diamond laboratories including GIA, HRD, IGI, Anchorcert by the Birmingham Assay Office, GemA, Precious Stone Laboratory and ASL amongst others. These diamond grading reports are detailed documents created by independent diamond experts from each of the respective laboratories.
You will not be permitted to purchase several of the same style of item from the website in order for you to keep the one you like best and return the unwanted goods. This causes undue overheads and can be very costly. If you wish to confirm the quality of a diamond piece, please feel free to contact us on portfolio@lunns.com or 00800 90 007 007.
We are aware of the situation regarding "Conflict Diamonds" and are fully complying with the directions that our industry has put in place to prevent this trade. We are gratified that all countries with significant involvement in the Diamond Trade and the leading industry associations have co-operated in creating a global system to combat the traffic in conflict diamonds. As retailers, we will do everything we can to make the new system effective.
The complimentary safeguards adopted by governments and by the industry mean that the diamond supply chain will be protected as never before from the trade in conflict diamonds. Customers can be confident that concrete, comprehensive measures are being taken to assure that diamonds offered for sale are "Conflict Free".
With effect from 1 January 2003, the UK Government is following clear official guidelines. They bar the importation of shipments of rough diamonds that lack appropriate government certification from the exporting country or that come from nations that fail to subscribe to the new international agreement known as the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme.
The most important contribution we can make within our industry is to deal only with trade suppliers of diamonds and diamond jewellery that comply with the programme of self-regulation. We fully adhere to that policy.
We have notified our trade suppliers of diamonds and diamond jewellery that merchandise we buy derived from rough diamonds mined after 31st December 2002 is to be accompanied by a warranty in the form approved by the International Diamond Manufacturers Association and the World Federation of Diamond Bourses. This warranty assures us that the supplier vouches for the legitimacy of the merchandise and that the supplier, in turn, has required the same warranty from their source of merchandise.
Following the recommendations of industry leaders, we have retained for inspection the warranties accompanying our purchases of diamonds and diamond jewellery.
