Return Policy

Last Updated: November 5, 2025

Return Policy for David Stern Jewelers and Affiliate Store Locations

At David Stern Jewelers, we take pride in providing exceptional jewelry and service to our valued customers. We understand that sometimes a purchase may not meet your expectations, and we offer a straightforward return process to ensure your satisfaction. For information on how we use cookies to enhance your shopping experience, please review our Cookie Policy.

Our return window is 14 days from the date you receive your product. This period allows you adequate time to examine your purchase while ensuring the security and integrity of our products. All returns must be initiated within this 14-day timeframe; we cannot accept returns after this period has expired.

To initiate a return, you must first obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number from our customer service team. This RMA number is essential for processing your return and must be included with your shipment. Returns sent without an RMA number will not be processed, so please ensure you contact us before sending any item back to our store.

Security and authenticity are paramount at David Stern Jewelers. Every piece of jewelry we sell includes a unique serial number for verification purposes. When we receive your return, our professional staff will carefully inspect the item and verify the serial number matches our records. This verification process is crucial to ensure the returned item is identical to the one we sent and has not been altered in any way.

Please note that we have a strict policy regarding custom jewelry: all custom-made pieces are final sale and cannot be returned. This includes any pieces that have been specially created, modified, or adjusted to your specifications. We emphasize this policy because custom pieces are unique to each customer and cannot be resold.

Once we receive your return, our team will conduct a thorough inspection process. This verification period typically takes up to 14 days. During this time, we examine the item’s condition, verify the serial number, and ensure all original documentation and packaging are present. Only after successful verification will we process your refund to the original payment method used for the purchase.

For a successful return, the item must be in its original, unworn condition with all original packaging, documentation, certificates, and authenticity cards included. Any signs of wear, damage, or alteration will make the item ineligible for return. We strongly recommend using insured shipping with tracking when sending your return, as you are responsible for ensuring the item reaches us safely.

If you receive an item that appears damaged or incorrect, please contact us immediately. Do not attempt to wear or modify the item, as this may affect your ability to return it. Document any issues with photos and await specific instructions from our customer service team.

The refund process begins after our verification is complete. Please note that while we refund the full purchase price of eligible returns, the original shipping charges are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer. Your refund will be issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.

David Stern Jewelers reserves the right to refuse returns that do not meet our requirements or that are sent without following proper procedures. We may modify this return policy at any time, and any changes will be reflected on our website with an updated date.

For questions about our return policy or to initiate a return, please contact our store during business hours. If you are searching for a jewelry store near me, we encourage you to reach out or visit us for personalized assistance. Our experienced staff is ready to assist you with any concerns and guide you through the return process to ensure a smooth experience.

My girlfriend and I went to see David to have a few sapphires appraised and were very surprised and overly happy with not only his honesty but also his knowledge. He definitely went above and beyond! Would recommend him to anyone. Mike
Response from the owner:Thank you for your acknowledgement of my services. All was a pleasure to educate and explain clients questions. I look forward to working with you again Regards David Stern
I loved my experience with David! My engagement ring had been given to my husband through a string of people so we didn’t know much about it. I came into David’s jewelry shop to get some answers about it. David sat down with me and patiently answered all of my questions, told me more about the ring, and even cleaned my ring. He didn’t even end up charging me! I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back for all of my future jewelry needs :)

Great experience. Polite, professional, and resolved my issue very fast. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you for this review. I always do my best to make the experience as pleasurable as possible
I was looking to have insurance appraisals done on a few pieces of jewelry and found David through a very lucky Google search! I wanted a private jeweler with the professional experience, but personable demeanor. David was pleasant and prompt and shared some knowledge with me while I watched him work on the evaluation. I will definitely return to him!
Response from the owner:Thank you for this great review It was a pleasure working with you regards David Stern
I had a wonderful experience getting some jewelry appraised. David was honest and upfront about the pieces. Gave me some good advice about buying pieces while on a cruise (will not make that mistake again!). I will be back in the future to actually purchase pieces from him as he has beautiful pieces in his store that many of them are made and designed by him directly. Very satisfied!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your great review. Best thank you anybody could give me Have a safe trip home and good luck and enjoy your sons wedding Regards David Stern
I highly recommend David Stern. His jewelry is of the highest quality and he has the most unusual pieces. Also being a nice trustworthy gentleman doesn’t hurt either.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review. Always good to receive such compliments Regards David Stern
David did a fabulous job making our rings. We could not have asked for better service. Very knowledgeable.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your great review. You both were a pleasure to work with. Enjoy the rings David Stern

I was recommended to visit David Stern Jewelry for an appraisal on two pieces of Alexandrite jewelry. David directed me in the right direction of including...
David is very professional. He explained the process for a jewelry appraisal and provided a detailed, quality report. He is very knowledgeable about diamonds, explaining the differences between lab grown and mined diamonds. David provided a fair price to buy a diamond as well. He repaired a ring and polished my diamond while I watched. David is reputable and I would work with him again.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure to work with you Regards David Stern
I brought in my engagement ring for a “second opinion” because when someone at the International Diamond Exchange resized my ring, it came back with unremovable residue under the diamonds in the setting, and denied that it was a problem. David and Colleen told me they would put it in an acid bath, and they kindly removed my center stone to avoid damaging anything. They placed the stone safely in a little pack for me to take home, which was so wonderful because it is a family stone. I hope to be picking it up soon. David said it would look as good as new! Because they were so kind, I went ahead and asked them about a design for my fiancé’s wedding ring. David gave me a great estimate and set up a plan for me that I can afford (I’m about to graduate college) and told me he would make it exactly to my specifications. I am so excited! Thanks to Rob, Colleen, and David. Such amazing service, and for a walk-in no less!
Response from the owner:Thank you for you kind review Tara. Always happy to help. I see too many easily remedied jewelry issues that upset people. Jewelry is a personal and emotional item. David Stern Jewelers is always available for advise and correction. We are not only a jewelry store we are trained professional career jewelers that do all work in house and sometimes if posible while you wait.
After speaking with many jewelers but being unable to schedule an appointment, David agreed to see us and appraise our ring the same day. He did a thorough and complete job explaining the process as he went. His knowledge and care were remarkable. Without prior discussion or appointment, he spontaneously and generously provided information about additional jewelry that we were unable to obtain elsewhere and he agreed to repair a bracelet we thought was unfixable - and at a reasonable price. We are grateful that we found him and Milo and we will definitely return!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your great review. It was a pleasure to work with you. So glad you enjoyed your time with me Regards. David Stern
David, the owner of the store that bears his name is a true professional with decades of experience. His advice for valuations are spot on, but more important, he will not only design for you, he will deliver as promised.
We had an amazing experience with David and Milo and will definitely return soon!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to write this review. You were a pleasure to work with. Regards David Stern
David was able to appraise my jewelry piece while I waited at a very reasonable price! Helped me with 2 other pieces that needed repair. All in all, I had a very agreeable experience with someone who is very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. My place to go with any jewelry needs!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for this kind review. You were a pleasure to work with. Regards, David Stern
Although writing a testimonial and supportive review is not something I often do, there are a handful of special moments in one's life when you encounter a service, product or company that thoroughly exceeds your expectations. So very much so, and in every capacity, that you feel as though you'd be remiss if you didn't share your wonderful experience with the world. THIS is one of those times! I am a REAL CUSTOMER and this is my unsolicited story. I respectfully encourage you to read on. After conducting a fair amount of Due Diligence and reading the reviews about reputable Jewelers -- just as you're probably doing right now -- I can honestly say that I couldn't be more pleased with the expert guidance, creativity and fair-priced service that I received at David Stern Jewelers. My first encounter with David Stern was by telephone, and within just a couple of minutes or so, after I had explained the nature of my multiple inquiries, I was convinced that my search efforts had paid off and that I'd truly found the right guy! I made an appointment to visit with David that afternoon and was later greeted by David at the door. His outright friendliness was candidly warm, personable and very down-to-earth. This put me at ease right away and we went into his office for a personal consultation. I explained that subsequent to my Mom's recent passing, my brother and I had inherited her fairly extensive collection of all kinds of jewelry … it included a mixture of diamond pieces, white & yellow gold bracelets, necklaces, rings, pins -- both Vintage and Current -- along with many pieces of costume jewelry. This entire collection would, at a later date, be fully evaluated, assessed and render a proposed cash offer. Among other things, I first wanted to repurpose the diamonds from two of my Mother's rings to create a one-of-a-kind Engagement Ring for my very deserving Fiancée. Like a couple of old friends working together, I described to David what I was looking for and, on very short order, David came up with a basic sketch rendering. It incorporated several sentimental stones from both of my Mom's rings ... David's creative vision for this finely crafted piece was amazing! Truthfully, ten days later when I picked up the finished ring, I was blown away by its exquisite and gleaming design … so was everyone else, especially my Fiancée … when I proposed!! It was a custom creation from the ground-up that only someone with David Stern's talent could precisely fabricate. Since the purchase of that beautiful ring, I've been back to see David several times. Each time, he insists on cleaning and polishing whatever pieces of jewelry I/we happen to have (routinely Free-of-Charge) and we're always greeted like "Family". Our most recent appointment was a three-hour Cost-Free consultation to appraise and assess our Mother's entire collection of jewelry. We selected a few pieces that we wanted to keep in the family, and then decided to accept David's generously-fair Cash-Offer for the remaining pieces. I can honestly say that when it comes to Jewelry, you won't find a nicer, more-qualified, pleasant, genuine, knowledgeable, trustworthy, considerate and fair-minded person than David Stern. You simply cannot go wrong with a guy like this and I can't think of a single reason to shop for jewelry anywhere else! David B. Boca Raton, Florida
Response from the owner:Wow what a great review This is the recognition that would make any artist /business man/designer get a big head I’ll keep mine under control and continue to do whatever it takes to make my clients feel as good as you have made me with your review Regards David Stern
We went to see David about a new jewelry purchase we made. We choose David for the reviews he has received. My wife and I could not be happier. David was patient answering all our questions and his advice was spot on. This is a man of integrity and we would recommend David just based on his knowledge and demeanor. We received a new appraisal within 15 minutes and the cost was reasonable as expected.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your great review Enjoy your jewelry Regards David Stern
I lost the diamond in my custom designed wedding ring when the setting prongs became loose without me realizing. I was beyond heartbroken and sad and it actually took me 4 years to look for a jeweler that I could trust to help me. My original setting was too high and I thought I would have to have the ring completely redesigned. After a diligent search , I found David Stern Jewelers. David was very welcoming and entering his store felt more like visiting an old friend than a stuffy, uptight establishment that most jewelry stores feel like (to me, anyway). David assured me that we could lower the setting and he had a beautiful pear shaped diamond that fit perfectly. And, amazingly enough, he had the new diamond in the new setting within 3 hours! I'm so happy that I walked into that little "gem" of a store and met David! He's the real deal!
Response from the owner:Thanks you for your kind review, It was have fun working with you and it was great that I had the exact diamond you were looking for at the price you wanted to spend, that it was perfect for your original ring which is sentimental to you Regards, David Stern
David was incredibly professional got my ring done ahead of schedule. I had been looking for somebody to make me an engagement ring for some time and felt pretty uncomfortable dealing with many of the jewelers I had spoken with. Fortunately for me I stumbled into David's shop and he walked me through all the steps and made the process super comfortable. He listened and was receptive to what I asked for in a ring, and my god did he deliver. I would recommend David Stern 10/10 times and I look forward to doing all of my future business with him.
Response from the owner:Alex, Thank you for the review. Recognition for good service and work is the best thank you I can get. Thank you again. Please think David Stern Jewelers for any future jewelry needs. No sale or custom work or repair is too big or small
