HOW DOES LAYAWAY WORK?
◈ Step 1: You contact us via Etsy messaging stating the item number, how many layaway months you need, and deposit amount (min 20% or more).
◈ Step 2: We reply with full terms & put your desired item on 48-hour hold "Reserved" for you.
◈ Step 3: You purchase the "Reserved” downpayment listing, and this purchase constitutes full agreement with all layaway terms.
◈ Step 4: Each month your layaway payments will appear in our shop "Reserved" for you.
◈ Step 5: After all layaway payments are paid in full, your item ships quickly to you!

◈ All our gems are guaranteed to be natural, earth-mined gems as certified by our GIA Graduate Gemologists, unless otherwise noted in an individual item's listing.

◈ (i.e. listings of "Sapphire" always mean natural, earth-mined sapphire.)

◈ (i.e."Lab Created Sapphire" means the sapphire is chemically identical to a sapphire but our Graduate Gemologists identified the sapphire as created in a laboratory instead of mined from the earth.)

◈ It isn't always easy to tell the difference lab created and natural. Sorry, but you shouldn't believe it's a natural gem just because the internet listing, or even your local jeweler, says so. Be careful out there!

◈ You can trust our world-class, GIA-educated experts! Don't settle for less.

Yes! You will receive an official Seattle Fine Jewelry Certificate of Authenticity signed by a GIA Graduate Gemologist to submit to your insurance company, and to have for your peace of mind. This saves you at least $60-200 or more in Gem Identification and insurance appraisal/certification.

The majority of the items we have been tested and found to be either natural or laboratory created. There are some stones that refuse to test them properly identify them as lab or natural. Sorry 'bout this. But there ain't much we can do without sending them down the big fancy, expensive equipment that the GIA has.
