Return Policy – Raw Mineral Jewelry

At Raw Mineral Jewelry, we stand behind the quality and craftsmanship of every piece we create. We understand that purchasing jewelry online is a deeply personal experience, and we want you to feel completely confident and satisfied with your choice. This Return Policy is designed to be transparent, fair, and easy to understand. Whether you are buying a gift for someone special or treating yourself to something beautiful, we are here to ensure that your experience with rawmineraljewelry.com is nothing short of exceptional.

Our Commitment to Your Satisfaction

Your happiness with your purchase is our top priority. We take great pride in the authenticity, quality, and uniqueness of our raw mineral jewelry. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted and inspected before it leaves our workshop. However, we recognize that sometimes a piece may not meet your expectations in person, or you may simply change your mind. We respect your right to make that decision and have structured our return policy to accommodate your needs while maintaining the integrity of our handcrafted products.

Eligibility for Returns

To be eligible for a return, your item must meet the following conditions:

  • The item must be in its original, unworn, and unused condition.
  • All original tags, packaging, and certificates of authenticity must be intact and included.
  • The item must be free from any signs of wear, damage, alteration, or resizing.
  • Returns must be initiated within the timeframe specified at the time of purchase, which is clearly stated on our website.

We carefully inspect every item before it is sent out, and we expect the same care to be taken when an item is returned. Jewelry that shows visible signs of wear, scratches, or damage caused by the customer will not be eligible for a full refund. We reserve the right to determine the condition of returned items and to refuse returns that do not meet our standards.

Non-Returnable Items

While we strive to accommodate most returns, certain items are not eligible for return due to their custom or intimate nature. These include:

  • Custom-made and bespoke pieces: Any item that has been specially designed, engraved, or altered to your specific requirements is considered final sale. Because these pieces are created uniquely for you, we cannot resell them.
  • Personalized jewelry: Items that have been engraved with names, initials, dates, or any other personalization cannot be returned.
  • Sale and clearance items: Products purchased during clearance events, flash sales, or marked as “final sale” are not eligible for return unless they arrive damaged or defective.
  • Earrings: For hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns on earrings unless they are defective upon arrival.

We recommend that you carefully review the product description and sizing information before placing an order for any item that falls into these categories. If you have any questions about whether a specific item is returnable, please contact us before making your purchase.

Initiating a Return

If you wish to return an eligible item, the process is straightforward. You will need to begin by notifying us of your intent to return the item within the designated return window. We will provide you with a Return Authorization Number and detailed instructions on how to send your item back to us.

To ensure a smooth return process, please include the following with your return package:

  • The original order confirmation or packing slip.
  • The Return Authorization Number clearly visible on the outside of the package.
  • All original accessories, pouches, boxes, and documentation that came with your purchase.

We strongly recommend that you use a trackable shipping service when returning your item. Raw Mineral Jewelry cannot be held responsible for items that are lost, stolen, or damaged during return transit. Insuring your return package is also advisable, as it protects you in the event of any issues.

Inspection and Processing

Once we receive your returned package, our quality assurance team will inspect the item to verify that it meets our eligibility criteria. This inspection process typically takes several business days. We carefully examine the jewelry for any signs of wear, damage, or alteration that would render it unsuitable for resale.

If the item passes inspection, we will proceed with your refund. If the item does not meet our criteria, we will contact you to discuss the options. These may include returning the item to you at your expense or issuing a partial refund if the item has minor issues that reduce its value but do not render it unusable.

Refund Methods

Refunds are issued to the original payment method used at the time of purchase. This ensures a secure and straightforward transaction process. Once your return is approved, we will initiate the refund to your credit card, PayPal account, or other payment method. Please allow additional time for your bank or payment processor to reflect the credit in your account, as processing times vary depending on the institution.

Please note that the original shipping charges are not refundable unless the return is due to our error, such as sending an incorrect item or a defective product. We believe this is a fair approach that encourages thoughtful purchasing while protecting us from the costs associated with shipping.

Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items

We understand how disappointing it can be to receive a piece that is damaged, defective, or not what you ordered. In the rare event that this happens, we want to make it right as quickly and easily as possible. If you receive an item that is:

  • Damaged during transit: Please contact us immediately with photographic evidence of the damage to both the item and the packaging. We will work with the carrier and arrange for a replacement or a full refund.
  • Defective in craftsmanship: If your jewelry has a manufacturing defect, such as a loose stone, broken clasp, or faulty setting, we will repair or replace it at no cost to you.
  • Incorrect item: If we accidentally sent you the wrong piece, we will arrange for the correct item to be sent to you and provide instructions for returning the incorrect item at our expense.

For all such cases, we ask that you notify us as soon as possible. Time is of the essence, as we want to ensure that the issue is resolved before the item is worn or damaged further. Our customer care team is dedicated to handling these situations with urgency and compassion.

Exchange Policy

If you would like to exchange an item for a different size, design, or stone, we are happy to accommodate your request, subject to availability. The exchange process follows the same timeline and conditions as our return policy. You will need to return the original item in its original condition, and once it is received and inspected, we will process the exchange.

Please note that if the item you wish to exchange for is of higher value, you will be responsible for the price difference. If the new item is of lower value, we will refund the difference to you. Exchanges are subject to stock availability at the time of processing. If your desired item is out of stock, we will discuss alternative options with you.

International Returns

For customers outside the country, returning items may involve additional considerations. International returns must follow the same eligibility criteria and process as domestic returns. However, please be aware that:

  • You are responsible for all return shipping costs and any customs duties or taxes associated with the return.
  • We recommend using a shipping method that provides tracking and insurance, as we cannot assume responsibility for international packages that are lost or delayed.
  • The return shipping time for international packages may be longer, so please allow extra time for your return to reach us and for the inspection to be completed.

We encourage international customers to carefully review product details and sizing before ordering to minimize the likelihood of needing to return an item.

Restocking and Processing Fees

We believe in simplicity and transparency. We do not charge arbitrary restocking fees on eligible returns. The amount you are refunded is the full purchase price of the item, excluding the original shipping charges. However, if the item is returned in a condition that requires additional work to restore it to a sellable state, we may deduct a reasonable amount from the refund to cover those costs.

Final Sale and Clearance Items

As mentioned earlier, items marked as final sale or purchased during clearance events cannot be returned for a refund. We encourage you to read the product description carefully before purchasing these items, as they are priced to clear and are sold “as is.” If a final sale item arrives damaged or defective, we will, of course, resolve the issue as we would for any other product.

Raw Mineral Jewelry reserves the right to update, modify, or amend this Return Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page and become effective immediately upon posting. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle returns. Your continued use of rawmineraljewelry.com constitutes your acceptance of any changes to this policy.
