Shipping Free Fedex or UPS Priority Overnight absolutely free with every order. Packaging Your diamond and ring will come packaged in our exclusive Cartier reproduction box. Diamond Toolkit Excel provides a free diamond toolkit so that you can examine your diamond at your leisure. You'll be able to see the SuperbCert® quality for yourself! The complete toolkit is valued at over $200. This toolkit is not included for Diamond Specials. Diamond Documentation You will receive extensive documentation and reports on your diamond from the most prestigious labs in the world, including GIA. Actual Diamond Photos Unlike many other on line diamond and jewelry websites that make a bad practice of showing you generic or sample images for their listed diamonds (and in many instances trying to mislead you into believing that you are looking at the actual image of that particular diamond), we spare no effort and showcase each of our Signature SuperbCert Diamonds with actual 10X magnified photos, actual hearts and arrows images, actual ImageScope photos, and photo collages of that specific diamond. We would like for you to SEE what you are buying and will never show you a photograph that is not an actual image for that specific diamond. As a matter of fact, we go one step further by photographing our diamonds at 10x magnification so that you get an even better look at the internal inclusions of our SI clarity SuperbCerts even though they will be impossible to see with the naked eye in almost all instances. Some of our Wholesale diamond databases do not have actual photographs, and where applicable we do indicate as much. In all cases however, we will bring the diamond in house to evaluate and photograph for you, since we will never drop ship a diamond. Any diamond that we sell from our wholesale diamond databases (which we do not own and are not physically in our possession) are brought in house first, evaluated for cut quality and beauty and then shipped to the customer. Satisfaction Guarantee All your purchases are backed by our 10 day money-back guarantee. Lifetime Upgrade Upgrade your diamond to a larger stone at any time at no expense; just pay the difference. This upgrade policy, is defined as a 50% increase above your original purchase price. Your original purchase price is applied to your upgraded diamond and you simply pay the difference! All diamonds listed on our website are eligible for this policy. See the Diamond Prior to purchase Use our network of independent appraisers to evaluate the quality of our SuperbCert® diamonds. Customer Service We work closely with each of our customers to provide him or her with excellent support. Contact us and let us make your dream a reality! -

2. How long have you been in business?

3. Do you own the diamonds you sell and are they in your physical possession?
Many of the listed diamonds on our website are of our own manufacture and in our possession. We can therefore immediately answer any specific questions you may have and provide additional information and photos.The database diamonds we do not own are always shipped in to us for examination prior to sale. Once the merchandise is sold, every diamond gets shipped out from our address.
4. Are the diamonds you sell clarity enhanced, laser drilled, or fracture filled? Furthermore, can I be assured that they are Conflict-Free?
All of the loose diamonds we sell are guaranteed to be non- clarity enhanced, laser drilled, fracture filled, or otherwise artificially enhanced in any manner. We also guarantee our diamonds to be conflict-free and secured through legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict and in compliance with United Nations Resolutions. Excel Diamonds is extremely sensitive to these issues and we do our utmost to insure that we act in accordance with the Kimberly Process and the USA Patriot Act.5. Why are the diamonds you sell so much better priced than the diamonds I have seen in the jewelry stores?
I know what you must be thinking...what's the catch?..right?Sounds too good to be true..right? Why are we selling diamonds for so much less than in the stores?
Click on our video link and find out why!
6. Are your loose diamonds accompanied by grading reports? Who graded your listed diamonds?
All the diamonds we sell are accompanied by original grading reports issued by the most respected Gemological Laboratories. GIA and AGS are the top diamond grading laboratories in the world. They are known for their very strict color and clarity grading and for their consistency. Indeed, GIA is the foremost educational and gemstone research organization in the world. A GIA Lab Report allows you to buy with confidence.7. Are the diamonds you sell laser inscribed?

Yes. We give you a Lifetime Upgrade. Use your original purchase price towards the upgrade and just pay the difference.Please note: Upgrades are a minimum of 50%. and apply to all diamonds listed on our website.
9. Do you provide appraisals or insurance coverage?
No we don't. We see this as a clear conflict of interest. What do you expect the jeweler who has sold his diamond and setting to you to say regarding his merchandise? How can you be sure that the Appraisal is not inflated causing you to pay higher insurance premiums than necessary? Basically, we believe it is unethical to offer a "free 3rd party" diamond or jewelry appraisal to our customers like some other diamond and jewelry companies do. These companies are often colaborating with the "3rd party appraiser" to provide you with these "feel good", inflated, and essentially worthless appraisals. We strongly advocate for you to have your loose diamond appraised by a competent, and completely independent jewelry appraiser of your choosing. We have policies in place that are designed to facilitate this for you either before or after you make your diamond purchase with us!!10. What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Google Checkout, Paypal, and Bank Wire Transfer. You receive a 2% discount off the list price for bank wire payment.Our shopping and Checkout Cart is protected with the latest secure SSL encryption technology. Your checkout is secure, fast, and easy and you will receive immediate e-mail confirmation of your order.
12. Do you charge for shipping?
Shipping is free to all of the United States. Because of high shipping/insurance costs, there is a nominal $25.00 Shipping charge to our Hawaii and Alaska customers.If you decide to return your purchase for a refund, all subsequent shipping and insurance costs are paid by you. We will also deduct the cost of our original shipping/insurance on refund amounts for all returns.
Cost of International shipping and insurance starts at $100.00 and is paid by you.
International Customers are responsible for paying all of their Country's Customs, VAT, GST taxes, etc. as applicable. Contact your Fedex or Customs Office to determine the exact amount. The final total cost for shipping and insurance will depend on your Invoice of the items purchased.
13. How do you ship your diamonds and jewelery?
We ship via UPS or Fedex Priority Overnite with full insurance coverage. For your protection, we will only ship our merchandise to a local FEDEX or UPS holding station where you will be able to pick up your package. A proper signature and photo ID will be required for the package release.14. How soon will I receive my loose diamond or jewelery?
Loose diamonds are shipped the same day we receive your funds. Rings and Settings may take from 3-14 days depending on the nature of the ring, our workload and heavy seasonal orders. Custom rings and settings may require up to 3 weeks for completion.15. What is your return/refund policy?

Your return must be mailed via U.S. Post Office Insured with Registered Mail, Return Receipt Service, the box flaps securely taped, and insured for the Invoice amount that was included in your original shipment. If you need assistance, the U.S. Post Office will instruct you on procedure and forms to be filled out which is simple and quick.
3. We will not accept any package shipped to us via Fedex, UPS, or DHL Service and will instruct Courier to return to Sender.

16. What kind of customer care can I expect after purchase?
If you have purchased your diamond and setting from us, we give you a Lifetime Guarantee on the ring providing that we did the setting. Any necessary subsequent work on your ring will be free of charge. If someone else sets the stone in our ring, we will charge for all labor involved in fixing the ring. This Lifetime Guarantee also holds for all Vatche rings and settings IF Vatche does the setting of your stone.17. Is there a charge for setting my loose diamond into one of your settings?
There is no setting fee when you purchase the diamond and setting directly from us. We do not outsource our settings but have our own factory and therefore can maintain excellent Quality Control. Your price for the diamond and ring includes all labor.18. If I buy a diamond from another jeweler can I still purchase your beautiful ring settings, or Vatche settings?
You sure can! We are also happy to set your diamond into one of our exclusive ring creations.Setting fees are as follows:
Up to 1 CT = $65.00
1.01-1.50 CT = $75.00
1.51-2.00 CT = $85.00
2.01-2.50 CT = $100.00
2.51-3.00 CT = $125.00.
We will also ask that you cover the portion of insurance related to the value of your diamond in the return shipment. This amount is calculated by the Invoice amount of your diamond and your shipping location. We ship via Fedex or UPS Priority Overnight Service.
Indicate this information for us in the Instructions Box on the Checkout Page.
19. Will You Be Able To Resize My Ring If Necessary?
Of course! We offer free resizing for rings returned to us within 20 days of receipt and only when the size discrepancies are within 1 size of what you ordered and received. Rings returned after 20 days will be resized with a charge for the labor and costs.20. Can I only "see" and buy your diamonds and jewelry from your website?
Shop with us in our beautiful showroom in our New York City Diamond District offices where we see clients by appointment.21. Barry, I read on the Internet that fluorescence in a diamond is a bad thing and should be avoided. Is this true?
This is not true. The fact is that less than 1/2 of 1% of all polished diamonds display fluorescence (reaction to UV light) that makes the stone look hazy, milky, or oily. In just about all cases, especiallly in well-cut diamonds, fluorescence has a positive effect in the diamond's face up appearance. As a matter of fact, years ago, fluorescent diamonds were known as "blue-white" diamonds and sold at significant premiums.GIA back in 1997 did the definitive study on the effects of fluorescence on diamond transparency and their results will really surprise you!

Diamond Drop Shipping
Upon doing your research for diamonds online you will find many vendors boasting a diamond database of anywhere from 70,000 to 100,000 diamonds. Many times the same diamond listing will appear on multiple websites from different vendors. Truthfully, none of these vendors owns the loose diamond, much less have it in stock. They merely act as a "drop-shipper" to sell diamonds from diamond wholesalers. When an order is placed on the website the diamond is shipped directly from the manufacturer to you, the customer. These diamond vendors never physically see the diamond and offer you little help with any questions you may have about the stone. Indeed many of these online diamond merchants have very little knowledge about diamonds altogether.
Below is a diagram that we have put together to illustrate the drop ship diamond method:
At ExcelDiamonds.com we are the home for our Exclusive Collection of SuperbCert Hearts & Arrows Super-Ideal Cut Diamonds which are manufactured by us and are here in house. These are not drop shipped diamonds and are only available through our company. You will not find these magnificent diamonds on any other diamond website. We are also a family owned and operated business of diamond cutters and experts in our field. We know diamonds intimately and look to supply our customers with the very best diamonds at excellent values.
Added Value With ExcelDiamondsOn our website you will find in addition to our exclusive collection of branded ideal cut diamonds, we also offer databases with thousands of wholesale loose diamonds from many different manufacturers.
There are however a few major differences between us and many of our competitors who similarly provide lists of thousands of loose diamonds for your consideration:
- 1. We only list loose diamonds that we can and will bring in house immediately to evaluate on your behalf. This includes actual diamond photographs under various lighting conditions and magnifications, as well as copies of the diamond lab grading report, diamond Megascope, and light performance analyses.
- 2. Unlike some of our competitors who may offer you a similar service, we DO NOT CHARGE your Credit Card to call in these diamonds. We are happy to provide all of this information to you upfront with no financial commitment on your part.
- 3. We are a family oriented business third and fourth generation, diamond cutters and experts with 30 years of experience and a strong commitment to the same old world values shown by our parents and grandparents, not merely computer geeks or MBA suits who KNOW NOTHING ABOUT DIAMONDS and have decided to open a drop-ship diamond website. We will only sell you a diamond that we have first inspected for you and deem to be of excellent quality and value.
You will get all of our amazing services including the most extensive scientific qualitative and quantitative reports and photos immediately at your finger tips, plus the very best price on the diamond!
The choice is easy and we hope you will shop with us for your dream diamond!

Barry,
Simply put, you’re the man. YOU ARE THE MAN!!! You helped me make it through everything and answered all of these e-mails and she LOVES THE RING! I mean crying, laughing, smiling… the whole bit. She hasn’t taken her eyes off it all weekend. I’ve gotta get to work but I just wanted to thank you before anything else. The ring is WAY more than I expected or anticipated.
Thank you for everything!!!!
