Diamond Certificates

Most of our loose diamonds are certified by an independent laboratory such as GIA (Gemological Institute of America). When you purchase a loose diamond from our Site, we ship the diamond to you with the accompanying diamond grading report (also called a diamond certificate, or dossier), a detailed and costly document created by diamond grading experts. Because of this cost we incur, we require each diamond grading report is included and returned with any returned diamond. If you do not include the diamond grading report with your return, you will be charged a replacement fee of US$150 (or equivalent amount in other currencies): You agree to this charge on your credit card used for the original transaction.

Comparison Purchasing

Comparison purchasing is the act of buying several items with the intent of keeping the one you like best and returning the remainder. This method is costly for Martin Binder Jeweler, and to maintain our low pricing, we do not allow comparison purchasing since this method of purchase causes undue restocking and inventory overhead. To confirm the quality of a jewelry item, please email us or 1-800-337-5184, and we would be happy to help you make your choice. We reserve the right to cancel any items or orders we deem as Comparison Shopping orders, at any time, without notice. You will receive an email of any cancellation.

Information on our Site

At Martin Binder Jeweler, we make every attempt to ensure that our online catalog is as accurate and complete as possible. To offer the greatest product detail, some products may appear larger or smaller than their actual size in our photographs.

On the Site, we provide the measurement of our products based on our manufacturing specifications. Slight tolerances may be accounted for based on finishing during the manufacturing. Width tolerance on machine made wedding bands of 0.20mm is allowed. Cast manufactured rings can vary slightly more.

For gemstone and pearl measurements, a tolerance of 0.25mm is allowed.

For jewelry set with multiple gemstones, with or without diamonds, we provide the minimum total carat weight for the piece, noted by total gemstone weight and total diamond weight. Diamond color and clarity grades are expressed as either a minimum or an average depending on the number of diamonds. If stated as a minimum, all diamonds within the piece are at or above the stated quality. If expressed as an average, collectively the quality is equal to or exceeds the grade stated.

Policy on Ethical Sourcing

At Martin Binder Jeweler, we travel overseas to diamond suppliers where our buyers hand-sort, and purchase diamonds through the largest and most respected directly suppliers. Our selected suppliers share our vision in enforcing and pride to adhering to ethics and humanitarian standards established by the Kimberley Process, an international system that polices the trade of diamonds to ensure they are from sources free of conflict.
