Money Back within 7 days to the value of original purchase! It’s your choice. (NB. *Postage fees will be the responsibility of the buyer for returns.) Please Note: (Once the Opal has been received by us it may take up to 12 days to process your refund). I will send you an email to let you know! Communication is always our motto!
- I recommend that before purchasing an Opal (especially a high end Opal), to ask questions, ask for additional photos & videos to make sure you are a 100% certain & happy before you purchase your special gem. By doing this it will lessen the chance of you having 2nd thoughts when you receive the Opal & having to go through sending the Opal back to us.
- Purchasing Your Opal In Person
-
- Once I have met you in person & you purchase an Opal from us, we do not offer refunds! We can exchange for another Opal.
- Discounted Multiple-Item Purchases – In the event of a Discounted Multiple-Item Purchase Transaction, the return of any Opal/s bought within this transaction will be offered as a store credit or exchange only. All Discounted Multiple-Item Purchases are assessed on an individual basis, and agreed to (at the time of purchase) as our best parcel price, and therefore, we cannot offer a money back refund on a partial return of a parcel, but with an Exchange or Store Credit, you have the choice of finding the perfect Opal on current or future Opal listings on this website.
