How to Start a Return or Exchange
The entire process is handled by email — no return portals, no forms, no waiting on hold.
- Email charlesscalesmoney@gmail.com with your order number, the item you're returning, and the reason. Photos help but aren't required for standard returns.
- We review within 24–48 hours (business days) and send you a Return Authorization (RA) number plus shipping instructions.
- Pack the item securely in its original box with all certificates and accessories included. Write your RA number on the outside of the package.
- Ship it back using any tracked carrier. We strongly recommend tracking — we can't be responsible for packages lost without it.
- We inspect and process within 2 business days of receiving your return. Refunds go back to your original payment method. Exchanges ship same day we receive yours.
Return Eligibility
To qualify for a refund, your item must meet all of the following:
- Returned within 30 days of delivery
- Unworn and unused — no signs of wear, perfume, lotions, or skin contact
- In original condition — no scratches, tarnish, bends, or alterations
- Includes original packaging: gift box, pouch, GRA certificate, and any cards
- Return Authorization number obtained before shipping
Non-Returnable Items
- Custom and personalized orders — engraved, resized to specification, or built-to-order pieces
- Final sale items — any item marked as final sale at checkout
- Items showing wear or damage — we photograph every piece before it ships, so condition can be verified
- Returns requested after 30 days — no exceptions unless covered by our Lifetime Warranty
Exchanges
Want a different size, metal color, or style? Exchanges are easy and we cover the return shipping label when you're exchanging for another Conture piece.
Email charlesscalesmoney@gmail.com with your order number and what you'd like to exchange for. We'll send a prepaid label and ship the replacement as soon as we receive your return.
Damaged, Defective, or Wrong Item
This happens rarely — but when it does, we take full responsibility.
Contact us at charlesscalesmoney@gmail.com within 48 hours of delivery with:
- Your order number
- Photos of the item and packaging
- A brief description of the issue
We will either send a replacement immediately or issue a full refund — your choice. You do not need to return damaged items in most cases.
Lifetime Warranty Claims
Every Conture piece comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. If a stone falls out, a clasp breaks, or plating fails under normal wear — that's covered.
Warranty claims are handled separately from standard returns and have no time limit. See our Lifetime Warranty page for full details on what's covered and how to file a claim.
Refund Details
- Refunds are issued to your original payment method only
- Processing time: 5–7 business days after we receive and inspect the return
- Original shipping charges are non-refundable
- Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility (except exchanges and our errors)
- If you paid with a gift card, refunds are issued as store credit
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I return a gift?
- Yes. Contact us with the order number (the purchaser's, or the packing slip) and we can issue store credit in your name.
- What if I lost the original packaging?
- Reach out before returning. We review case by case — missing a small pouch won't automatically void your return, but missing the GRA certificate or gift box may.
- How do I know my return was received?
- We email you a confirmation within 24 hours of receiving your package.
- Can I return multiple orders in one package?
- Yes, but include each item's RA number on a note inside. Do not combine returns without notifying us first.
- My stone looks different than in the photos. Can I return it?
- Yes — moissanite can appear slightly different under different lighting, but if you feel the piece doesn't match the product page, email us and we'll make it right.
- I ordered the wrong size. Is that covered?
- Yes, size exchanges are fully covered. We'll send a prepaid return label and ship the correct size immediately.
