Jewlery Warranties, Service and Insurance

From Dave West…

“Many jewelry retailers will have some sort of warranty policy should your jewelry suffer from manufactures defects. The time limit on these warranties varies from store to store, so it is important not only to ask how long the warranty period is but also what are its limitations. Some stores will offer “lifetime” warranties as a tactic to help close the sale. Many customers find these types of warranties comforting.

Lifetime warranties are fine as long as it is understood that for the warranty to remain in effect the jewelry must be cleaned and checked, by the store that sold it, usually every 6 months (which is a good idea anyway)…”
