These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the GemsDirectOnline.com website (the Site) and your relationship with Gems Direct (Pvt) Ltd and Gems Direct (we or us). Please read them carefully as they affect your rights and liabilities under the law.
Colour & Clarity
Each gemstone is unique and tends to have different inclusions. This is a sign which can help differ natural stones from synthetics. Gems Direct tries its best to provide an actual representation of the colour and clarity of the product which is visible to the naked eye. Images from different angles and videos are provided for the customer to get a better understanding of the gemstone. However, it must be noted that varying inclusions are visible from different angles and different magnifications.
Note, that all gems do not show the same colour from all angles. Most stones on the website have a possibility that the face-up colour can change when the stone is viewed in a different angle, because of their doubly refractive nature.
Colours can change according to the display it is viewed through. We have taken all measures to showcase all gemstone colours accurately. However, we cannot guarantee that the actual colour of the gemstone will match the colour viewed through each individual display.
Laboratory Reports
Gems Direct assures that it only deals in stones mined from the earth and does not deal with any synthetic or imitation gems. The reports of the stone that are given on the website are a representation of the reports from the respective laboratories where the stones were tested. Although Gems Direct ensures that there are no errors to the best of its ability, Gems Direct is not liable for any errors made by the laboratories which produce each of the reports.
