We guarantee that the precious metals we sell are exactly what we say they are: Sterling Silver, 14 Kt Gold, 18 Kt. Gold, and Platinum. We deal with reputable suppliers and we are confident of the goods we receive from them.

Our Lifetime Pledge to You
Here is our promise to you. If you ever doubt the metal that you receive from us, and you have it assayed, and it is not what we purport it to be, we will pay for your Assay Report, up to $100.00. Just send us a copy of the Assay Report. Include receipts for your Assay Report and the merchandise in question, along with the defective merchandise. We will send you a check for $100.00, plus refund you the retail cost of the item.

Precious Metals

Please read our Precious Metals Frequently Asked Questions.

Small Note about 14K and 18K Gold

14K gold is 58.5% gold and is stamped either 14K or 585, the European designation for 14K gold.

18K gold is 75% gold and is stamped either 18K or 750, the latter of which is used in Europe to designate 18K gold.

Please note that all of our gold Poesy rings are stamped 585 or 750.

Platinum jewelry is stamped with either 950 (because platinum jewelry is typically 95% platinum) or it is stamped with the capital letters PLAT. Platinum poesy rings carry the PLAT designation.

Special Note re .925 Sterling Silver
Please note: Many people think that all sterling silver is stamped 925, (because sterling silver is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals for strength). However, in our experience, some of it is stamped, and some of it isn't. While there is a federal law in the U.S. that says it must be stamped sterling silver or 925, and in Europe the law specifies that it be stamped 925, these laws are not enforceable, so not everyone complies. Furthermore, many countries whose artisans produce sterling silver jewelry do not have such laws.

The best guarantee of receiving sterling silver is knowing your suppliers. And you can take comfort from the fact that raw silver is still inexpensive enough in 2006, that few people have any motivation to pass another metal off as sterling silver.

All of our poesy rings are stamped 925.

"We've known our jewelers or have known of them for many years. They are all extremely reputable, and we are very confident that their sterling silver is what it is supposed to be. We've seen enough jewelry from companies producing .725 silver that, just by sight, Tom and I can generally recognize quality sterling silver. But our most important tool is knowing our jewelers," Mandira, Crystal Realm Co-Founder.

(We do sell some items that are not sterling silver, eg, hair barettes, and our policy is to be straightforward about materials used in our products. Only if an item is sterling silver will it be so marked on our website.)

Diamonds
Please read Crystal Realm's Diamond Information. We call this Diamond Buying Made Easy

Here is a brief synopsis:
"Each 3/8 carat and larger diamond comes with a certificate specifying the weight, color, cut, and clarity. It is certified to be a genuine diamond of the grade indicated, and signed by a registered Gemologist. It also comes registered with Gemprint, along with the laser refraction print of the diamond. The dispersal pattern of laser light from a diamond is unique. So this print of the laser light is the signature of this particular diamond. Gemprint can tell your diamond from all the others should identification be needed."

When you wish to purchase a diamond puzzle ring, you may specify the grade and size of stone you want, and you may inspect it for several days either loose or mounted in the ring of your choice, and send it back if you're not happy with it for any reason. We will communicate with you throughout the process and make every attempt to help you get a ring with which you are thrilled.

If you prefer not to specify the characteristics of the diamond, other than the size, then we will acquire for your ring a diamond of D-E-F (top) color; the carat size you select based on your desired price range, in consulation with Crystal Realm; a Good to Very Good cut, since that is the most important factor in terms of "sparkliness;" and clarity sufficient to ensure no inclusions are visible to the naked eye. Read more about our diamond philosophy under this page: Diamond Information, or Diamond Buying Made Easy. Learn how we save you money and provide you with a diamond with which she will be absolutely thrilled!
