The buyers verbal confirmation of the purchase of the diamond(s) constitutes a confirmed sale and the buyer will be invoiced and 100% committed to the purchase.  The seller will request the buyer's approval of the design before the crafting process commences.  Any major changes to the design that cannot be modified at the mounting* stage will be allowed at the expense of the buyer.  Any major changes after the completion will also be borne by the buyer.

 * Mounting refers to the mid production item prior to diamonds being set.

The deposit payment is required within one week from the sales invoice date.  The balance of the sales invoice will be due on the completion of the item and before collection or shipment.  If a payment is not received or payment method declined, the buyer forfeits the ownership of any items purchased. Any portion of the purchase price unpaid will be considered overdue.  All amounts overdue shall accrue interest from the date when the payment was due until the date of payment at a rate of 4% above the HSBC Hong Kong base rate.  In addition, the Seller shall have the right to pursue any remedies available at law or was provided herein and shall be entitled to reimbursement from Buyer for Seller's cost of collection, including attorney fees, legal fees and costs and disbursements.

Ryder Diamonds retains ownership of all design work and the rights to use the designs in marketing materials and all other such uses.

Each piece of Ryder Diamonds jewellery is hand crafted rather than cast or machine made. Small imperfections should not be regarded as flaws, but rather appreciated as part of the art of hand crafted jewellery. Each of our pieces are carefully checked before presenting to a customer to ensure all claws are tight and the integrity of the jewellery is sound. The customer should also inspect the jewellery in close detail when new to acknowledge the state and condition of the piece. We will provide each client with photos of their piece for evidence of the condition when new. 

All diamond jewellery should be treated as precious and cared for. Gold and platinum are soft metals and can be damaged by knocks and blows. It is also a common misconception that diamonds cannot break. They absolutely can break or crack if pressure or a sharp knock is applied to a weak spot. Designs that are more fine and delicate in detail, particularly those styles that have "wall" set diamonds require an even higher degree of care. Ryder Diamonds consultants will advise clients designing bespoke jewellery on the perils of certain designs that are more delicate or fragile so that the customer is aware of the degree of care needed to keep the ring in good condition. 

Knocks and bumps will naturally occur for pieces of jewellery worn on the hand and wrist. Ryder Diamonds recommends cleaning your diamond jewellery at least once a week to keep your jewellery in good condition. Liquid dish washing liquid and a soft toothbrush is recommended to use for cleaning. While cleaning we suggest you run your finger over the claws to check for any sharp edges, which may indicate that a claw has been pulled. After cleaning shake the ring close to your ear and if a rattle can be heard, the claws on your ring may need to be tightened. Regular checks of your jewellery will minimise the risk of diamonds being lost.

It is suggested to get into a habit of taking your jewellery off and keeping them a soft pouch whilst engaging any activities that could dirty or damage the ring. 

Particular care should be taken in the first few weeks of wearing your ring. From our experience we have found damage is most likely to occur in the first few weeks whilst getting used to wearing and caring for a ring. If a habit can be developed early on of cleaning and checking your ring it should last a lifetime. 

Ryder Diamonds will repair any manufacturing defects up to one year after purchase. The jewellery must be returned to Ryder Diamonds for inspection by our jewellers to assess if the issue is a manufacturing fault or caused by damage. 

Ryder Diamonds will provide one complimentary resize for engagement rings that have been designed and crafted by Ryder Diamonds. Re-sizing will be done on site and must be done within six months of purchase. 

We aim to offer all of our clients a fair and amicable solution to cater to any problems. It is our aim to keep every client of Ryder Diamonds a happy and satisfied customer.

Ryder Diamonds offers free FedEx shipping and insurance of newly purchased jewellery, however the customer is responsible for duties and tax payable in your specific countries. This is made clear in the checkout process and can be verified by the customer before completing purchase. Each piece of jewellery will arrive in its own individual packaging. Where a customer has ordered multiple items, each item may be delivered in separate shipments or together in a consolidated shipment at the discretion of Ryder Diamonds.

Ryder Diamonds insures each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to your specified delivery address. We require a signature for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you. If you have specified a recipient other than yourself for delivery purposes (for example, as a gift) then you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery and fulfilment by Ryder Diamonds and transfer of responsibility in the same way.

Please note that we aim to deliver within the estimated delivery window declared for each order. Estimated delivery times are to be used as a guide only and commence from the date of dispatch. We are not responsible for any delays caused by destination customs clearance processes.

We highly recommend our clients to purchase insurance coverage on their jewellery, particularly for the purchase of a ring. Naturally wearing on the hand, a ring is prone to knocks and bumps and damage to the metal and diamonds can occur. Insurance will protect against such damage, loss or theft. For clients located in Hong Kong we can introduce you to our recommended insurance broker who has arranged a deal for our clients providing great value for money. Upon your purchase we will provide a free valuation certificate which can be used for insurance purposes. 

We will accept returns within notification of 7 days of receipt of the Ryder Collection (shop) items only. Bespoke pieces cannot be returned. The customer is responsible to return the item in it's "as new" condition and is responsible for all shipping and insurance costs. 

If you're interested in a piece of jewellery that is currently not in stock we advise that it will take between 4-6 weeks for delivery.

We do not negotiate prices on our products and all our prices are final.

All of our diamonds over 0.40ct will be accompanied with a GIA certificate which will be included in your delivery. Ryder Collection (shop) pieces over 0.40ct will be graded GSI2 ex/ex/ex/none by GIA, pieces under 0.40ct will be graded as Collection SI - VS and do not come with certificates.
