But wait, there’s more…<\/h2>\n

\nBig corporate jewelry stores<\/strong> are known for their big warranties, guarantees and service plans.<\/p>\n

\nThese can be great when they work properly. They can cover your stone if it’s damaged, broken, or lost (under certain guidelines<\/strong>), and some do cover it for a lifetime…<\/p>\n

YOUR LIFETIME!<\/h2>\n

\nThat’s the key… YOUR <\/strong>lifetime… NOT<\/strong> the lifetime of the ring.<\/p>\n

\nThat’s the big difference<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

What does this all mean?<\/h2>\n

\nThe diamond warranty, or guarantee, is issued to the buyer of the ring and only that buyer<\/strong> (or whose ever name is actually on the warranty slip – usually the gents or the fiancees). So only that person<\/strong> can get the diamond replaced in case of a missing or broken stone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThis comes up every now and then when a customer goes to sell their diamond rings on Craig’s List, Ebay, the newspaper, or to a friend. They show the diamond warranty with it, or say “It comes with a lifetime diamond warranty<\/strong>“… <\/p>\n

It all looks good<\/h2>\n

It makes it sound like a really great deal. Who wouldn’t want their new diamond to be covered for a lifetime?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nBut most people are not aware<\/strong> that these warranties are not transferable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nYou can’t pass them on to someone else. Regardless if they bought your ring or not. The jewelry store, company or independent jeweler won’t cover it.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\nPeriod!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is this?<\/h2>\n

\nI don’t really know for sure<\/strong>. I don’t see any good reason why they wouldn’t cover a diamond for life. They could make a whole new customer after all. But I’m sure it all boils down to money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nBy limiting the warranty to only the original owner, they won’t have to replace the stone if the second owner loses it.<\/p>\n

Simple as that!<\/h2>\n

\nSo if you’re buying a diamond ring, especially a diamond engagement ring from someone, a friend, a co-worker, a neighbor… And they are giving you the “lifetime warranty<\/strong>“… It’s useless<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Get your diamond insured instead.<\/h2>\n

\nGet it insured<\/strong> just make sure you get the diamond and ring is fully covered. Insurance will cover your ring and diamond, and you won’t have to take it in for a 6 month checkup (even though I still highly recommend it – Good preventive medicine<\/strong>). Plus, if you miss one of the so-called routine scheduled check ups, it voids the warranty anyway<\/a> (so many small details<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\nI do agree that these plans sound good and can be great… I’ve seen them work flawlessly, but I’ve also seen them fall apart.<\/p>\n

I’m not a huge fan.<\/h2>\n

\nThey work more smoothly as selling tools<\/strong> (and the store’s bottom line), and they do help close a deal… But if you’re trying to sell your ring yourself, then that paperwork is just a bunch of, well, paper<\/strong> that will end up in the trash.<\/p>\n

\nIf any jewelry store out there does provide a diamond warranty<\/strong> that is transferable from owner to owner, let me know<\/a> and I will append this article.<\/p>\n

But for now, keep your warranty…<\/h2>\n

\nIt means nothing to me.<\/strong><\/p>\n
