Comparison Purchasing

To keep our prices low, we do not allow comparison purchasing. Comparison purchasing is the act of buying several items with the intent of keeping the one you like best and returning the remainder. This causes undue restocking and inventory overhead and can be very costly. To confirm the quality of a jewellery item, please contact one of our diamond and jewellery experts at cara@emirates.net.ae or +971 4 347 8089, and we would be happy to help you make your choice.

Once the transaction is complete, the payment will be debited and cleared from your account, and you will then be redirected to the Website. You confirm that the credit/debit card that is being used is yours. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorization by the card issuer.

If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorize payment to us, you will need to contact your card issuer directly to solve this problem. If the issuer of your credit/debit card refuses to authorize payment, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
