Shipping, Grading, and Other Services

Shipping, Grading and other services are available at the expense of the buyer. In some instances and for some products fees for these services may be waived by BL. The seller is responsible for all shipping costs to and from BL designated offices.

Diamond Grading Reports and Certificates

Diamond grading reports and certificates provide useful gemological information that is based on subjective grading methods and standards. The same diamond may be graded by the same laboratory differently upon resubmission. A difference of one color and/or clarity grade is not unusual. Due to their subjective nature diamond grading reports and certificates are an important indication but not a guarantee of quality.

Returns and Exchanges

Unless otherwise specified in writing on the invoice all sales are final with no refunds.

Buyers will have 24 hours from receipt of the product to request a return via email to info@bylaleh.diamonds. In the event of a return the product must be shipped back to BL within three business days.

In the event of a dispute about the grading of a diamond by a laboratory, the diamond may be submitted to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) with all original grading information with a request for a re-check of the grading. Should the re-check indicate a difference of more than one color or clarity grade a refund will be provided to the buyer.

Appraisals

BL does not provide appraisals but will provide an invoice clearly stating the sale price with reference to the product/service descriptions and evaluation documents such as grading reports. BL does not warrant or guarantee the quality or accuracy of any appraisal, evaluation, valuation, or expert opinion.

Compliance

BL operates in full compliance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). All trading clients are required to meet our compliance requirements.

User warrants and represents that they are not named on any European denial or embargoed list, or denied access to or use of our Website by virtue of their country of residence being a European embargoed country, or in violation of any local or European export laws and/or regulations.

Taxes

Clients are responsible for all tax payments related to their transactions with BL, unless agreed upon on our “Full Service Concept”.

BL is located in Arnhem, Gelderland, The Netherlands and is required by law to collect sales tax (VAT) from European residents or for purchases delivered within Europe. Out of Europe sales tax, use tax or other tax obligations are the client’s responsibility.

Site Information

In the event that information is inaccurately displayed due to technical, typographical or other errors, BL reserves the right to cancel the transaction and will provide a refund to the buyer and return of the product to the seller.

In order to provide an opportunity to view our products in great detail, some products may appear larger or smaller than their actual size on our SITE. Furthermore color, size and other features may vary based on the computer monitor.

In compliance with European Trade Commission regulations, total carat weight descriptions may vary by 0.05 carats from stated weight.

In some instances the exact weight or quality of gems in a finished piece of jewelry may be unavailable due to the nature of the setting or jewelry. BL will provide whatever information is available to us from the seller but does not take responsibility for any weight or quality differences when such gems cannot be independently weighed or examined free of the jewelry that they are set in.

Policy on Ethical Sourcing

BL purchases from suppliers who adhere to and enforce proper legal and ethical standards. The source of material in Estate Jewelry is generally not known since they were created many years ago. Often these estate jewelry pieces are grandfathered into existing compliance requirements. All diamonds, gemstones or metals offered for sale are traded subject to full compliance with Kimberley Process, U.S. Patriot Act, and European regulations. In addition all products must be manufactured and sold in compliance with all local laws and regulations.

In the event that BL has information about the specific source of products or materials in products, such information may be made available to buyers on the SITE. BL provides such information a best efforts basis but does not guarantee it.
