Diamond grading reports and certificates provide useful gemological information that is based on subjective grading methods and standards. The same diamond may be graded by the same laboratory differently upon resubmission. A difference of one color and/or clarity grade is not unusual. Due to their subjective nature diamond grading reports and certificates are an important indication but not a guarantee of quality.
Unless otherwise specified in writing on the invoice all sales are final with no refunds.
Buyers will have 24 hours from receipt of the product to request a return via email to concierge@pnshahdiamonds.com. In the event of a return the product must be shipped back to P. N. Shah Diamonds within three business days.
In the event of a dispute about the grading of a diamond by a laboratory, the diamond may be submitted to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) with all original grading information with a request for a re-check of the grading. Should the re-check indicate a difference of more than one color or clarity grade a refund will be provided to the buyer.

P. N. Shah Diamonds does not warrant or guarantee the quality or accuracy of any appraisal, evaluation, valuation, or expert opinion.
