F.A.Q.’s
1. Can I buy direct from DiamondJourney.com?
When you purchase from DiamondJourney.com, you are buying directly from the manufacturer. However, the feature benefit of DiamondJourney.com is that a local jeweler is an integral part of the Diamond Journey customer service process.You, then, have someone close by to service all of your jewelry needs, now and in the future.
 
Right now, you may be assigned to a jeweler that is not close by or convenient for you, but you can still buy from Diamond Journey, and have the product shipped to your home.
 
As we add dealers and you find a store that is more convenient, you will have the option of changing your account preference.
2. Am I free to choose any jeweler I want?
Once you put in your zip code, you will be directed to the website of the closest DiamondJourney.com jeweler for that product. However, if for some reason you would like to choose another jeweler, you are free to do so.
3. Can you tell me something about 'Palladium'? 
Palladium is in the same family as platinum (noble metals group). It is about the same price as gold, so finished jewelry made of palladium is much less than platinum. It is hypoallergenic because there is no nickel. It is tarnish resistant. You won't get black smudges, and it won't turn green like gold does on some people, or when it reacts with certain medications. It is 95% pure metal, and it requires no plating like platinum or white gold does to make it bright white in color. 
4. What can I look for as assurance that the products are legitimate?
The two most obvious things to look for on your karat gold or platinum jewelry are the karat stamp (14 or 18 kt) together with the manufacturer’s trademark. There are exceptions to this rule, but it is a good starting point. There may be additional information present as well.
 
This combined with the reputation of the local jeweler and the manufacturer’s written warranty and/or certificate of authenticity (which comes with every DiamondJourney.com purchase) are a very good indication that your purchase will last a lifetime.
5. Who is responsible for the sales tax?
Consumers in the state of Texas will be charged sales tax. Shipments in other states will not include sales tax.
6. How do I qualify for ‘Free Shipping’?
Your local, independent retail jeweler is an integral part of the Diamondjourney.com concept. All you have to do is at ‘Check-Out’, select the ‘Free Shipping’ option. Your purchase will be shipped to your local participating DiamondJourney jeweler where you may pick it up.

17. What is “dirty gold” and is it used in the manufacture of this diamond jewelry?
 
The world’s illegitimate trade in gold is referred to as “dirty gold”. This is gold that is obtained illegally by unlicensed gold miners via environmentally unsound methods in areas typically off-limits to commercial endeavors. The majority of this “dirty gold” is sold in the Asia, and the Middle East where there is very little governmental control of jewelry manufacturing, and people in these areas buy it more as a hedge against inflation, rather than personal adornment. There is a small percentage of this sort of thing in the U.S., Europe, and other areas, but it is typically confined to smaller manufacturers and retailers who obtain their gold for manufacturing off the “street” rather than through banks and legitimate gold suppliers, which is the norm.
 
All the gold used in the production of jewelry sold on and through DiamondJourney.com is obtained through commercial banks and other legitimate sources of gold that is mined in governmentally controlled areas in the U.S., South Africa, and Australia.
 
For more information: go to the websites of The World Gold Council, MJSA, and the Jewelers’ Vigilance Committee.
