5 Year Warranty

5-Year Warranty

At The Diamond Store, we take great pride in the quality of our jewellery. Every piece is skilfully crafted to last for many years to come. That’s why we offer a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects in materials or craftsmanship.

What The Warranty Covers:

If a manufacturing fault is found in the way your jewellery was made, we will repair, remake, or replace it at no cost to you, within the first 5 years after purchase.

What’s Not Covered:

Our warranty does not cover accidental damage, wear and tear, loss, theft, or any work carried out by another jeweller. For example, damage from catching a ring on a door handle, losing an earring in a waste disposal unit, or vacuuming up a bracelet would not be covered. If a piece has been altered or resized elsewhere, the warranty becomes void.

Returns & Peace of Mind

We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee (excludes custom-made items). Click here to view our full Return & Refund Policies.

Conflict-Free & Fully Certified

All our natural mined diamonds are conflict-free, and every piece of gold, silver, and platinum jewellery is hallmarked in the UK to verify its purity and authenticity.

If Something Goes Wrong

Whatever the issue - whether it's our fault or yours - we encourage you to send the item to us for assessment. If it’s a manufacturing issue, we’ll repair it free of charge. If the damage was accidental, we’ll quote a fair repair cost with no obligation. Either way, we’re here to help.

RING SIZES & RINGS SIZERS

WHAT IS RING SIZE?

‘Ring size’ is a measurement that refers to the inside circumference of a ring. It’s important to know your correct ring size before buying a ring, otherwise it won’t fit properly.

Different countries use different standardised systems for denoting ring size.

On the right, there’s a chart with the 3 most common ring size systems used in UK, USA and internationally. For Australian sizes simply refer to the UK sizes, which are the same.

WHY USE A RING SIZER?

Ring size is one of those things we think we’ll always remember… but never actually do!

It is very important to find out the correct ring size whether the ring is for you or another person. This measurement enables us to provide you with a perfectly fitting ring. A ring that is so small you cannot get it on – or so big it falls off – can really ruin a big moment!

OUR RING SIZER APP

Our free Ring Sizer App is accurate and easy to use!

Find out a ring size in UK, EU or USA measurements. All sizes F – Z included, from smallest to largest finger.

Simply place your loved one’s existing ring on your phone screen, then adjust the circle until it fits the inside of the ring exactly.

This app helps you keep an engagement ring or a special gift a surprise and saves you a trip to the jewellers.

Sustainable Lab Diamonds vs Conflict-free Mined Diamonds

What is the difference between our sustainable lab grown and conflict-free mined diamonds? Is it possible to tell them apart? We explain the differences in origin, quality and price between the two, so that you can make an informed choice.


 

Are sustainable lab grown and mined diamonds the same?

They are exactly alike optically, physically and chemically.

The main difference is their origin:

Mined diamonds have been extracted from the Earth. They were created by Mother Nature from carbon atoms subjected to intense volcanic heat and pressure deep underground more than 3 billion years ago.

Sustainable lab grown diamonds are grown by scientists in a laboratory. They are created from a tiny shard of a mined diamond which is introduced to carbon atoms, under conditions which replicate the volcanic forces of Mother Nature.


Are lab grown diamonds sustainable and ethical?

Yes, lab grown diamonds are not extracted from the ground, which makes them environmentally sustainable and ethical as they conserve the Earth for future generations.

Does this make mined diamonds “unethical”?

No. As long as you are buying mined diamonds from a reputable jeweller that abides by the Kimberley Process, your diamonds are ethical because they are conflict-free.

Can you tell the difference by looking at the two?

No, you cannot tell the difference between a lab grown diamond and a mined diamond by looking at them.

Therefore, to protect consumers, lab grown diamonds are branded with a microscopic laser mark to distinguish them from mined diamonds.

You cannot see this mark with your naked eye, but a jeweller will be able to see it with specialist magnifying equipment.

Price – Are sustainable lab grown diamonds cheaper?

Yes, lab grown diamonds are more affordable than mined diamonds, giving you more carats for your budget.

You’ll find most of our popular jewellery ranges available in both options so you’ll be able to compare easily.

Bear in mind, however, that the precious metal setting plays a part in price. Silver is the most affordable, gold is a little more expensive, and platinum is the most expensive.

Are lab diamonds “fake diamonds”?

No, lab diamonds are not fake diamonds. Sometimes people confuse lab grown diamonds with simulants like cubic zirconia, which are not diamonds.

But this is not the case with lab diamonds. Gemmologists (the scientists who study diamonds and gemstones) classify lab diamonds, simply, as diamonds.

Learn more about the identical characteristics of lab diamonds here.

Which has better quality?

Mined diamonds and lab diamonds are quality-graded by gemmologists in exactly the same way using the Four Cs – Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat weight.

Therefore, your diamond (regardless of whether it is lab grown or mined) will simply be graded at the quality it has, for example, Premium Quality, H/Si or E/Vs.

Having said that, since lab diamonds are more affordable than mined diamonds per carat, you’ll usually be able to access a much better diamond grade/quality for your budget if you choose lab grown.

So are sustainable lab grown diamonds better?

“Better” is very subjective. It’s like cars. If someone asks you if an Aston Martin or a Ferrari is better, your answer would depend on your individual requirements.

It is the same with lab grown diamonds and mined diamonds.

Sustainable Lab Diamonds vs Mined Diamonds – Which should you choose?

Conflict-free mined diamonds are simply beautiful to look at and last a lifetime. A rare luxury created by Mother Nature, they come with the legacy of having been sourced from the Earth.

Sustainable lab grown diamonds are also stunning to gaze at, and they also last a lifetime. More affordable than mined diamonds, they are additionally sustainable and ethical.

In conclusion, both lab grown diamonds and mined diamonds are luxurious, beautiful and sparkling options – and they will both make wonderful gifts for a lifetime. Now, you simply have more choice.

Upgrading clarity/sparkle

High quality grades of diamonds.


Because we only sell 5 different grades of diamonds, all of which are of a high quality, the diamond you have already chosen won’t have any obvious flaws. But if your priority is for your diamond to have the best possible quality and sparkle, then investing in the next grade up makes good sense.

What would be the difference if you moved up a grade? Your diamond will look more radiant, gain in value – and you’ll get the very best quality for your budget.

Upgrading size/carat weight

Upgrading the size of your diamond means increasing its carat weight

The more carats a diamond weighs, the bigger it is.


But when is a size upgrade recommended?

The larger the diamond is, the rarer it is to find. That’s why an increase in size is a larger investment. When considering the size, think about what she or your friends wear and how you would like to compare.

Below you can see the different diamond sizes we sell. If you’d like a real sense of scale, follow this link for “real size” printable images of our diamonds: Real size diamond measurements.

Upgrading setting

White gold or platinum?


The main advantage of white gold over platinum is that it’s much more affordable. However, the disadvantage of white gold is that you may need to re­coat your jewellery in rhodium once or twice a year. This adds to its overall cost over time, whereas platinum, more expensive to start with, will never require any maintenance.
