Our Warranties

There's no doubt about it...jewelry covered by a maintenance warranty enjoys less breakage, a longer lifespan, and better sparkle and shine.

Why Would That Be?

Firstly, because maintenance warranties require the jewelry wearer to have the pieces inspected and cleaned at regular intervals. It is the very nature of precious metals to wear away...but if a jeweler spots that wear before it becomes too severe, preventative maintenance can be performed. If jewelry maintenance is deferred for too long, it is possible that the pieces can literally reach a point where only major refurbishment will do the trick--which is far more expensive. And sometimes, pieces will reach the point of no return. 

Secondly, our maintenance warranties are offered through Preferred Jewelers International. Why should you care about that? Well, Preferred Jewelers vets jewelers before granting them inclusion in their warranty program. So, as a peer-reviewing organization, PJI considers the quality of the jewelry sold by its included jewelers. Therefore, the jewelry covered by PJI maintenance warranties enjoys less breakage and longer lifespans because Preferred Jewelers makes sure that customers are starting with jewelry the quality of which won't over-burden the warranty program in the first place.

Preferred Jewelers Platinum Jewelry Care Plan

Do you like to know "everything is covered?" Then this is the plan for you! In fact, between this plan and all-perils jewelry insurance, you won't have a care in the world about your jewelry. The pricing varies with the value of the item. Click here for a pop-up showing the pricing, which covers the piece for your lifetime.

We will not allow you to purchase this plan if your piece will not garner benefit from having it. (As an example, if you purchase a heavy gold necklace that does not contain gems, the only thing covered by this warranty would be the clasp. We will not sell you the warranty in this case.)

There are three possible outcomes to this inspection:
