-

Submitting an order does not automatically mean it has been accepted. An order is officially confirmed only after:
-
Payment has been successfully processed and cleared.
-
We have verified product availability.
-
You receive a written Order Confirmation Email from us.
We may contact you for additional verification before confirming your order, especially for high-value purchases.
4.3 Right to Refuse Orders
We reserve the right to cancel or refuse any order at our discretion if:
-
The product is no longer available or is out of stock.
-
There are errors in product pricing or description.
-
The payment fails verification or is flagged for suspected fraud.

The order appears to violate these Terms or applicable laws.
If an order is cancelled by us, any payment received will be refunded in full to the original payment method.
4.4 Custom Orders
For bespoke or custom-designed jewelry, the process includes:
-
We will provide design renderings, CAD images, or other visuals for your review and approval before production begins.
-
Once you approve the design, production will start. Cancellations after this stage are not permitted without incurring charges for materials, labor, and any work already completed.
-
Estimated production timelines will be clearly communicated in advance. While we strive to meet these timelines, delays may occur due to gemstone sourcing, design adjustments, or other factors beyond our control.
Custom orders are created specifically for you and are not eligible for returns or refunds unless defective upon arrival.
5. Product Descriptions & Accuracy
We put great effort into ensuring every product listed on the Aurista Jewels website is described and represented accurately. Our customers rely on clear, honest, and precise product information, so we make it a top priority to provide this at every stage.
5.1 Quality & Authenticity
Every piece of jewelry you see on our website is crafted from genuine materials — including natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds (if specified), gemstones, and precious metals — sourced from reputable suppliers with whom we have long-standing relationships. We do not use synthetic stones or imitation materials unless explicitly stated in the product description.
Where applicable, your jewelry will be accompanied by certification from recognized gemological laboratories such as GIA (Gemological Institute of America), IGI (International Gemological Institute), or equivalent reputable institutions. These certificates outline the gemstone’s characteristics, including carat weight, cut, clarity, color, and any known treatments.
5.2 Variations
Due to the nature of gemstones and handcrafted jewelry, there may be slight variations between the item you receive and the images shown online. Examples include:
-
Minor differences in gemstone color tone due to natural formation.
-
Small variations in carat weight (within industry-accepted tolerances).
-
Slight differences in metal shade due to lighting and screen display differences.
These variations are part of the charm of genuine jewelry and do not qualify as defects or grounds for returns, unless the difference is significantly outside the specifications stated in the product description.
5.3 Errors & Omissions
While we strive for accuracy, human or technical errors can occasionally occur. This includes typographical mistakes, inaccuracies in pricing, or discrepancies in product details. If we discover an error:
-
We will contact you immediately with the corrected information.
-
You may choose to proceed with the updated details or cancel for a full refund.
-
If we are unable to reach you promptly, we may place the order on hold until clarification is received.
