Shipping & Return Policy
At The Gems Fort, we want you to feel completely confident in every purchase. Each sapphire is individually selected, carefully photographed, and accurately described to ensure full transparency.
Inspection Period
We offer a 48-hour inspection period, starting from the day your package is received. This allows you to evaluate your sapphire under your own lighting and conditions.
If, within this period, you feel the stone is not the right fit, you may request a return for store credit, refund, or exchange.
Eligibility for Returns
- The sapphire must remain in its original, unaltered condition (not set, scratched, or modified in any way).
- All original packaging, certificates (if requested or included), and accompanying documentation must be returned.
- You must notify us in writing (via email) within the 48-hour inspection period before shipping the item back.
Shipping & Insurance
Most international shipments are handled via fully insured air freight courier services, with delivery typically taking 5–10 business days, depending on the destination country.
Return shipping is the buyer’s responsibility.
Upon request, we can arrange a fully insured return label, and the cost will be deducted from the final credit/refund amount.
We strongly recommend using a trackable and insured shipping method, as we are not responsible for items lost or damaged during return transit.
Payments & Escrow Services
We accept secure payments via Escrow.com, providing added confidence for both buyer and seller during the transaction process.
If you choose to use escrow services, all related fees will be borne by the buyer.
Orders processed through escrow will follow escrow platform procedures for release of funds upon successful inspection.
Refunds, Store Credit & Exchanges
Approved returns within the inspection period are eligible for:
- Store Credit
- Refund to original payment method
- Exchange for another gemstone
Non-Returnable / Final Sale Items
- Custom orders
- Recut or re-polished stones
- Special-request imports
- Stones sold below cost or marked as clearance
The above items are considered final sale and are not eligible for return, refund, or exchange.
We understand that selecting a sapphire is both an art and an investment. If something isn’t quite right, we are always here to help find a solution that works for you.
