At CHC Fine Jewelry, we are committed to providing a seamless shopping experience. This page covers jewelry bought from our store. Please review the details below and contact us with any questions.

Shipping

  • Free U.S. shipping: Free standard ground shipping on every order inside the United States, with no minimum order value.
  • Faster options: Expedited and priority services from USPS and UPS are available at checkout for an additional cost, priced live by the carrier.
  • Processing time: Store pieces ship within 1 to 3 business days after your payment is confirmed, whether the piece is in stock or made when you order it.
  • Carriers: We ship with USPS and UPS inside the United States, and with USPS, UPS, or DHL Express internationally.
  • Gift-ready packaging: Every piece of jewelry you buy from us arrives in our branded box with a pouch, a cleaning cloth, and a Certificate of Authenticity, at no extra cost and with nothing to request. Repairs and other pieces you send in to the bench come back cleaned and protected in a pouch, without the presentation box. Ask us if you want a repair returned gift-ready and we will box it for you.

  • Shipping insurance: Included to cover lost or damaged packages, subject to carrier approval.
  • Signature required: Orders over $300 ship with a signature required on delivery. Ask us to add a signature requirement to any order.
  • Delivered packages: Once the carrier confirms delivery to the address you provided, we are not responsible for loss or theft. Please check that your shipping address is correct.
  • Delivery limitations: No weekend or holiday delivery.
  • Multiple shipments: Orders may arrive in multiple packages at no extra cost.

Fees

One-year warranty

  • Coverage: Every piece of jewelry we sell or make for you is covered for one year from the delivery date against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. 3D CAD files sold on their own are a digital service and are not covered.
  • First 30 days: If a covered defect appears, we repair the piece, replace it, or refund it, and we send you a prepaid insured label and pay shipping both ways.
  • After 30 days and up to one year: We repair the piece or, if it cannot be repaired, replace it. Refunds are not available after the first 30 days. You pay to ship the piece to us, using trackable and insured shipping, and we pay to ship it back to you.
  • Not covered: Normal wear and tear, scratches, damage from accidents, misuse, or chemicals, loss or theft, and repairs, resizing, or changes made by anyone other than CHC Fine Jewelry. If we find the problem is not a covered defect, we will send you a repair quote before we do any work.
  • How to make a claim: Email info@chcfinejewelry.com or call +1 (347) 542-7061 with your order number and photos of the problem. We will confirm the claim and send you shipping instructions, or a prepaid label if you are within the first 30 days.
