Customer guide

Materials, Diamonds & Certification

What materials do you use?

Our collections include 10K, 14K, and 18K solid gold, platinum, sterling silver, and gold-over-silver jewelry, along with natural diamonds, lab-grown diamonds, colored gemstones, and pearls. Each product page lists the materials and specifications for that item.

Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?

Yes. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds with essentially the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as natural diamonds. The primary difference is their origin and how they are formed. Lab-grown diamonds are not cubic zirconia or moissanite.

What is the difference between natural and lab-grown diamonds?

Natural diamonds form in the earth, while lab-grown diamonds are created in controlled facilities using technology that recreates diamond-forming conditions. Both are real diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are often more accessible in price, which may allow a larger stone or higher grades within a similar budget. Each product page identifies the diamond origin.

Do lab-grown diamonds hold their value?

Lab-grown diamonds should not be purchased as an investment or with an expectation of a guaranteed resale return. Their main value is the beauty, quality, and size they can offer at a more accessible price. Market pricing and resale demand can change over time.

Are your diamonds and gemstones certified?

Larger center stones and select higher-value items may include a grading report from a recognized gemological laboratory. Certified lab-grown and natural diamonds may be graded using the same 4Cs. Not every item includes a laboratory report, so please review the product page for the exact documentation included.

How accurate are your product photos and descriptions?

We work to show each item accurately through detailed photography and product specifications. Color and appearance may vary slightly because of lighting, screen settings, stone characteristics, and normal manufacturing tolerances. Measurements and carat weights may also be approximate where stated.

Customer guide

Orders, Payments & Security

How do I place an order?

Add an item to your cart, select any available options, and complete checkout. You will receive an order confirmation by email, followed by shipping confirmation and tracking when the order leaves our facility.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit and debit cards and the secure payment methods displayed at checkout. Available payment and installment options may vary by customer, order, device, and location.

Will I be charged sales tax?

Applicable taxes are calculated at checkout based on the shipping address and the laws in effect at the time of purchase.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Contact us as soon as possible with your order number. We begin processing quickly and cannot guarantee that a change or cancellation can be completed after an order enters processing, production, sizing, or shipment.

Why is my order taking longer to process than expected?

Some orders may require additional payment, address, identity, inventory, or fraud-prevention review. Verification can add processing time. If we need information from you, we will contact you using the details provided with the order.

Why did I receive an order-verification email?

We may request limited information to protect customers and prevent unauthorized purchases. Please confirm that the message came from an official Haus of Brilliance email address. We will not ask you to send your full credit card number by email.

Customer guide

U.S. Shipping & Delivery

Where do you ship within the United States?

We ship to addresses within the United States, including most PO boxes and APO/FPO military addresses. Certain high-value, oversized, restricted, or signature-required shipments may need a physical street address.

How much does U.S. shipping cost?

We offer complimentary ground shipping and complimentary 2-day express shipping on most eligible U.S. orders. Available services, delivery estimates, restrictions, and any charges are shown at checkout and may vary by item, destination, and order value.

How long will my order take to arrive?

The product page shows an estimated processing time. Processing may include payment review, quality control, sizing, customization, or production. Transit time begins after shipment and depends on the service selected, destination, carrier operations, weekends, holidays, and events outside our control.

Are shipments insured?

We arrange appropriate transit coverage for eligible shipments while they are in the carrier's possession, subject to carrier and coverage terms. Claims involving loss, theft, damage, or delivery are reviewed individually and may require customer cooperation, documentation, and a carrier investigation.

My tracking says delivered, but I cannot find the package. What should I do?

Check the delivery area, mailbox, front desk, building staff, household members, and nearby neighbors. Carriers sometimes complete delivery scans shortly before final placement. If the package remains missing, contact us as soon as possible, preferably within five business days of the scan, so we can review the order and determine whether a carrier inquiry is available.

What if tracking stops updating or my package appears lost in transit?

Contact us if tracking shows an exception or has not updated for an unusual period. We will review the shipment and, when appropriate, open a carrier inquiry. Any replacement, refund, or other resolution depends on the facts, inventory, carrier findings, and applicable policies.

Customer guide

International Shipping

Does Haus of Brilliance ship internationally?

Yes. We ship to Canada and select other international destinations. Available countries, products, services, rates, and restrictions are shown at checkout and may change.

Which countries can I ship to?

The country selector and checkout show the destinations currently supported. Some products or order values may be unavailable in certain locations because of carrier, customs, insurance, payment, or legal restrictions.

Will I pay customs duties, import taxes, or VAT?

International orders may be subject to duties, taxes, VAT, brokerage charges, or other destination-country fees. The amounts collected at checkout, if any, will be displayed before purchase. Unless checkout expressly states that charges are prepaid or included, the recipient is responsible for amounts assessed by customs, the carrier, or local authorities.

How long does international shipping take?

International delivery times vary by destination, shipping service, customs review, carrier operations, and local conditions. Any estimate shown at checkout is not a guaranteed delivery date. Product processing time is separate from transit time.

Customer guide

Returns & Exchanges

What is your return policy?

Eligible items may be returned or exchanged within 30 days of purchase, subject to our Refund Policy. Items must be in new, unworn condition and include all original packaging, tags, certificates, reports, and inserts. Certain custom, engraved, altered, sized, made-to-order, final-sale, or otherwise excluded items may not qualify.

What does unworn condition mean?

The item should be free from scratches, damage, residue, odor, alteration, and signs of extended use. Briefly trying on an item for fit is generally acceptable, but all returns are subject to inspection.

How do I start a return or exchange?

Email service@hausofbrilliance.com with your order number and the item you wish to return or exchange. Wait for authorization and instructions before shipping. Unauthorized returns may be delayed, refused, or subject to applicable fees.

Do you offer free returns?

Return shipping is complimentary only when we confirm a manufacturer's defect present upon receipt or when otherwise required by law. For other eligible returns, the customer is responsible for return shipping unless we state otherwise in writing.

Can I exchange an item or request store credit?

We may be able to offer an exchange, replacement, refund, or store credit depending on the item, condition, timing, inventory, original payment method, and applicable policy. Contact us before sending the item back so we can confirm the available options.

When will I receive my refund?

After an authorized return is received, it must pass inspection. Approved refunds are sent to the original payment method unless another arrangement is confirmed. Bank and payment-provider posting times vary, so the credit may not appear immediately after we submit it.

Are any items non-returnable or final sale?

Custom, engraved, altered, resized, made-to-order, personalized, or final-sale items may be non-returnable. Sizing, engraving, customization, shipping, and other service charges may be nonrefundable. The product page and Refund Policy control where they provide more specific terms.

Customer guide

Warranty & Repairs

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. We offer a limited 90-day warranty for verified manufacturing or craftsmanship defects, subject to inspection and the full warranty terms. Coverage does not guarantee a specific remedy and does not replace any rights that cannot be limited under applicable law.

What may be covered by the 90-day warranty?

Issues involving a clasp, prong, setting, solder joint, or similar component may be reviewed when the problem appears to result from a manufacturing or craftsmanship defect. Coverage depends on inspection, the cause of the issue, the item's condition, and the warranty terms.

What is not covered by the warranty?

The limited warranty generally does not cover normal wear, scratches, dents, bent or stretched metal, accidental damage, impact, improper use, loss, theft, lost stones caused by impact or wear, chemical exposure, tarnish, unauthorized repair, alteration, or failure to follow care guidance.

How do I make a warranty claim?

Email service@hausofbrilliance.com with your order number, a description of the issue, and clear photos. We may request that the item be returned for inspection. Depending on the findings, available options may include repair, replacement, another resolution, or a paid service.

Can you repair jewelry outside the warranty period?

We may be able to help with paid repairs or recommend an appropriate local service, depending on the item and damage. Repairs are reviewed case by case, and availability, timing, and pricing must be confirmed before work begins.

Customer guide

Sizing & Resizing

What ring sizes do you carry?

Ring sizes vary by style. The sizes currently available for each item appear on its product page. Some styles offer half sizes or additional sizes, while others have a limited range.

How do I find my ring or bracelet size?

For the most accurate result, have a local jeweler measure you. Fit can vary based on band width, design, temperature, and personal preference. Product pages list available ring sizes and bracelet or necklace lengths.

How do I convert U.S. ring sizes to U.K. or E.U. sizes?

Use our chart only as an approximate reference. U.S. 4 is about U.K. H and E.U. 46.5; U.S. 5 is about U.K. J 1/2 and E.U. 49.3; U.S. 6 is about U.K. L 1/2 and E.U. 51.9; U.S. 7 is about U.K. N 1/2 and E.U. 54.4; U.S. 8 is about U.K. P 1/2 and E.U. 57.0; and U.S. 9 is about U.K. R 1/2 and E.U. 59.5. Conversion standards can vary, so professional measurement is recommended.

What if I order the wrong size?

Contact us promptly. An exchange or resizing may be possible for an eligible item, but it depends on the design, metal, stone setting, inventory, return eligibility, and timing. Fees and additional processing time may apply.

Can every ring be resized?

No. Some eternity bands, patterned bands, multi-stone designs, alternative constructions, and heavily detailed settings cannot be resized safely or may have a limited resizing range.

Care & Cleaning

How should I care for solid gold jewelry?

Use mild soap, lukewarm water, and a soft brush when appropriate, then rinse and dry with a soft lint-free cloth. Avoid chlorine, bleach, harsh chemicals, strong impact, and abrasive cleaners. Care needs can vary when the piece contains delicate or treated stones.

How should I care for sterling silver jewelry?

Store sterling silver dry and separately to reduce scratches and tarnish. Use a polishing cloth intended for sterling silver. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive products, especially when the piece contains stones or plated details.

How should I care for gold-plated or gold-over-silver jewelry?

Plating can wear over time. To help preserve it, limit contact with water, sweat, perfume, lotions, cleaning products, and friction. Wipe gently after wear and store the piece separately in a dry pouch or box. Do not use an abrasive polishing cloth on plated surfaces.

How should I care for pearl jewelry?

Put pearls on after cosmetics, perfume, and hairspray. Wipe them gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wear. Do not soak pearls or place them in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner. Store them separately and avoid chemicals and abrasion.

Can I use jewelry cleaner on every item?

No single cleaner or method is appropriate for every material. Pearls, opals, emeralds, turquoise, coral, treated gemstones, plated pieces, and other delicate items may require special care. Review the cleaner instructions and contact us with the product link before cleaning when you are unsure.

Do you sell jewelry cleaner?

Yes. We offer a fine jewelry cleaning kit. Always follow the product instructions and confirm compatibility with the specific metal, gemstone, treatment, and finish before use.

Customer guide

Custom, Personalized & Engraved Jewelry

Do you offer custom or personalized jewelry?

Select customization and special-order services may be available. Email service@hausofbrilliance.com with the product link, requested changes, budget, deadline, and any reference images. We will confirm whether the request is feasible before quoting price or timing.

Can I have a piece engraved?

Engraving may be available on select items by request. Availability, placement, character limits, font, cost, and timing vary. Engraved or personalized items may be final sale, so written approval of the details may be required before production.

How long does a custom order take?

Timing depends on the design, materials, approvals, sourcing, production, and shipping. Any timeline is an estimate unless we expressly confirm a guaranteed date in writing.

Customer guide

Gift Cards

Do you offer gift cards?

Yes. Haus of Brilliance digital gift cards are available in the denominations shown on the gift-card product page and are delivered electronically to the email address provided.

Do Haus of Brilliance gift cards expire?

Haus of Brilliance gift cards do not expire, and we do not charge inactivity or service fees. Gift cards remain subject to applicable federal, state, and local law. Where required by unclaimed-property law, a dormant balance may be transferred to the appropriate government authority, but the rightful owner may still claim the funds through that authority.

How do I redeem a gift card?

Enter the gift-card code in the gift-card or discount-code field at checkout. If the order total exceeds the available balance, use an accepted payment method for the remainder.

Can gift cards be combined with discounts or promotions?

A gift card is generally used as a form of payment. Whether it can be used with a discount, promotion, or other offer depends on that offer's terms and any checkout restrictions.

Are gift cards refundable or redeemable for cash?

Gift-card purchases and balances are generally nonrefundable and not redeemable for cash except where required by applicable law. Statutory cash-redemption rights, if any, depend on the governing jurisdiction and balance.

Customer guide

Appraisals & Insurance

Do you provide appraisals?

For many qualifying pieces, we can arrange a complimentary digital insurance appraisal through BriteCo, an independent third party. Eligibility must be confirmed for the specific item.

What is an insurance appraisal used for?

An insurance appraisal can help document an item for coverage with a jewelry insurer. It is not a guarantee of resale value, market value, buyback value, or the amount an insurer will pay on a claim.

Can I use the appraisal with another insurance company?

You may provide the appraisal to the insurer of your choice, but each insurer decides whether it will accept the document and what additional information it requires.

Does Haus of Brilliance sell jewelry insurance?

No. Haus of Brilliance does not underwrite or sell insurance. Any insurance product, coverage decision, premium, claim, or payment is governed by the insurer's terms.

Customer guide

Financing Options

Which financing providers are available?

Haus of Brilliance currently offers eligible financing options through Shop Pay Installments, Klarna, Zip, and Affirm. The providers available for your specific transaction will be shown during checkout. You can also review our Financing Options page before shopping.

Will all four financing options appear for every order?

No. Availability may depend on the purchase amount, billing information, location, device, customer eligibility, and each provider's requirements. The options displayed during checkout are the options currently available for that transaction.

How do I use a financing option at checkout?

Add your jewelry to the cart and proceed to checkout. When available, select Shop Pay Installments, Klarna, Zip, or Affirm, then follow the provider's application and approval steps. Review the payment schedule, interest rate, fees, and all other disclosures before accepting an offer.

Are financing approvals guaranteed?

No. Approval decisions are made solely by the selected financing provider. Haus of Brilliance does not determine eligibility, approval amounts, interest rates, fees, payment schedules, or term lengths.

Are all financing plans interest-free?

Not necessarily. Some plans may include interest or fees, while others may not. The exact terms available for your purchase will be presented by the financing provider before you accept the offer.

Does applying for financing affect my credit score?

Credit-review practices vary by provider and financing product. Review the provider's disclosures before submitting an application or accepting an offer.

How are returns handled on financed orders?

Eligible refunds are generally processed through the original financing provider after the return has been received, inspected, and approved under the Haus of Brilliance Refund Policy. Continue making any required payments until the provider confirms that your account or payment schedule has been adjusted.

Who should I contact with a financing question?

For questions about your Haus of Brilliance order, email service@hausofbrilliance.com. Questions about approval decisions, interest, fees, payment dates, or an existing financing account should be directed to the provider named in your financing agreement.

Customer guide

Promotions & Price Codes

Where can I find Haus of Brilliance promo codes?

Subscribe to our email or SMS updates and review current banners or promotional pages on our website. Codes shown by third-party coupon sites may be expired, inaccurate, unauthorized, or subject to restrictions.

Can I combine multiple promo codes?

Unless the offer expressly says otherwise, promotions and discount codes cannot be combined. Product, brand, category, date, customer, location, and order-value restrictions may apply.

Can a promotion be applied after I place an order?

Promotions generally apply only when valid and entered or automatically applied at checkout. We do not guarantee retroactive adjustments to prior purchases, expired offers, or orders that did not meet the promotion terms.

Customer guide

Gift Packaging

Is your jewelry gift-ready?

Jewelry is shipped in Haus of Brilliance packaging suitable for presentation and storage. Packaging style may vary by item, size, inventory, destination, or shipping method.

Can I include a gift message?

A gift-note option may be available during checkout. For a special request, contact us immediately after ordering. We cannot guarantee changes after processing begins.

Customer guide

Contact & Support

How do I contact customer care?

Email service@hausofbrilliance.com or use live chat on our website. Include your order number, product link, photos, and relevant details so we can review the request efficiently.

What are your support hours?

Our team operates on U.S. business days. We generally aim to respond within one business day during normal periods, but holidays, weekends, high-volume periods, and complex requests may take longer.

Which policy controls if an FAQ conflicts with another page?

The product page, checkout disclosures, written order terms, and the applicable Shipping Policy, Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, warranty terms, promotion terms, or third-party provider terms control where they contain more specific or updated information. Nothing in these FAQs limits rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.
