At Shree Arham Jewels, every piece of jewellery reflects generations of artisan dedication and strict quality inspection. We have formulated this Cancellation, Exchange, and Refund Policy to ensure mutual transparency between our patrons and our boutique.
1 Order Cancellation Policy
A. Standard Ready-to-Ship Pieces (Online Orders)
Orders for ready stock jewellery placed via our website may be cancelled without penalty within 12 hours of order placement or before the item is handed over to our insured logistics partner (whichever is earlier). Upon timely cancellation, 100% of the transaction amount will be refunded to the original payment source.
B. Customised and Made-to-Order Jewellery
Once production or customisation of an order has commenced in our karigari workshop, cancellation is subject to deductions:
- Making charges may be deducted.
- Wastage charges may be deducted.
- Customisation or production expenses already incurred may be deducted.
- Certain customised orders may be strictly non-refundable.
Cash refunds may not be permitted for customised or cancelled orders where costs have already been incurred. Any eligible refund, store credit, or exchange will be determined according to the nature and status of the order.
2 3-Day Jewellery Exchange Policy
Jewellery may be exchanged within 3 days from the date of purchase (or 3 days from the date of confirmed delivery for online shipments), subject strictly to the following conditions:
- The original purchase invoice/bill must be provided.
- The jewellery must be returned in its original and fresh condition.
- The jewellery must not have been altered, damaged, resized, repaired, or excessively used.
- Exchange eligibility is subject to inspection and approval by Shree Arham Jewels gemologists.
Shree Arham Jewels will not be responsible for damage or loss caused due to improper handling, breakage, enamel chipping, falling stones, accidental damage, or improper use after purchase.
Certain customised, altered, engraved, made-to-order, or specially ordered products may not be eligible for exchange.
