IMPORTING FROM THE UK
It's easier than you may think...
With most currencies relatively strong against the Great British Pound (GBP), our diamonds and fine jewellery represent better value than ever when buying from abroad.
IMPORTING TO THE USA - DUTIES & TAXES
Loose diamonds & semi-precious gemstones
For customers domiciled in the USA paying in US Dollars, our published prices for loose natural and lab grown diamonds are subject to a deduction for Value Added Tax (VAT).
They are subject to merchant duties and currency conversions costs incurred by us, but exempt from import duties.
Therefore, prices shown on this website in US Dollars for these items are subject to a net 15% refund.
This refund will be processed by us after capture of your payment.
Great experience from start to finish. I received updates throughout the whole process and great customer service.
I had this shipped to the USA and it arrived in 3 days from the day of being shipped from the UK. My order exceeded my expectations.
I would definitely buy from this company again. Thank you.
