FAQ’s
SHOPPING & SHIPPING
What Is Your Typical Turnaround Time For New Purchases?
We work hard to deliver a quality product to our customers in the quickest time frame possible. A good general rule of thumb is 4-8 weeks from the time of order. That said, turnaround time is completely dependent upon the kind of product you are ordering, if your order is placed online or in store, and if you are picking up your order in store or require shipping. Here are some general guidelines on turnaround time for your consideration:
In Store Purchase | Online Purchase | |
Fashion Jewelry (In-Stock) | As soon as same day, depending on jewelry item | 3 - 10 days from order date |
Bridal Jewelry (In-Stock) | As soon as same day up to 2 weeks | 3 - 10 days from order date |
Special Orders | 3 - 6 weeks, depending on designer | 3 - 8 weeks, depending on designer |
Loose Diamonds (no setting) | As soon as same day, depending on diamond location | 12 - 18 days |
For questions regarding the turnaround time on a specific jewelry item or an order you placed, please contact a store near you, give us a call at (800) 885-50506 or, chat with an online expert when available.

My White Gold Ring Is Turning Yellow- Is That Typical?
Yes, rhodium is an alloy that is blended with naturally yellow gold to give it a pure white tone. This is the process applied to all white gold jewelry. Over time that rhodium can wear away, revealing a faint, golden tone. For that reason, one of the key maintenance requirements for white gold jewelry is periodic rhodium plating. Diamonds Direct is proud to offer free lifetime rhodium plating on all our jewelry to make sure your jewelry always stays shiny and bright! No appointment needed to have your ring rhodium plated. Just stop by!
I Need My Ring Sized.
Diamonds Direct will gladly resize rings purchased from us free of charge! The turnaround time for ring sizing is dependent on the type of ring you have. In most cases, we can accommodate sizing requests within a few days to about a week. Our shop offers many options to fit your schedule and your sizing needs.
Some of our designers do require us to send rings back to their studio for their artisan craftsman to size. If that is the case for your ring, sizing may take a few weeks. We will gladly coordinate the shipping of the ring to the designer on your behalf free of charge.
Please also note some specialty rings, like eternity bands, tension set diamond rings, and alternative metals, may not accommodate sizing.
In order to get the most accurate sizing recommendations for your specific ring please contact a store near you, use our request an appointment feature, or call us at (800) 885-5050.
If you are not located near a store, please email us at [email protected] and one of our customer service team members will be glad to walk you through the process of determining your ring size and shipping your ring to us for sizing.
Do I Need Personal Jewelry Insurance Even Though You Provide A Lifetime Warranty?
Even though Diamonds Direct offers a lifetime warranty that is second to none in the industry, it’s critical to have your fine jewelry insured with a private insurance company in the event of loss, damage, theft, or irreparable damage. We recommend considering Lavalier Insurance. Your personal property insurance provider will also likely provide fine jewelry insurance programs as well.
Do You Provide Jewelry Appraisals For Insurance Purposes?
Yes! All fine jewelry purchased from Diamonds Direct valued at or over $1,000.00 will be accompanied by an appraisal for you to provide to your insurance company. At this time, we do not provide appraisals for jewelry that was not purchased from Diamonds Direct.

You get 110% of your original purchase towards your new purchase. Our upgrade policy applies one year after your original purchase and is applicable to natural diamonds only.

Diamonds Direct will consider buying loose diamonds weighing a 0.50 carat or more based on our inventory levels at that time.

This could permit you to take that diamond and transform it into something new! Our 110% upgrade policy allows Diamonds Direct customers to upgrade their original engagement diamond, solitaire diamond pendant, and diamond studs for a different size, quality or shape.
