NATURAL GEMSTONES AND DISCLOSED TREATMENTS
All gemstones used in 100 East and Sas E Gems branded jewelry are natural and individually selected for desirability, color, clarity, cut and cost. They were formed by Mother Nature, not in a lab (known as synthetic, lab created, man-made or simulants).
Natural gemstones are commonly treated to enhance their color and/or clarity. Many of our colored gemstones are treated. However, we use only gemstones whose treatments are considered permanent and we disclose all treatments on the Product Detail page of each piece. This allows you to make an informed purchase decision.
PLACING AN ORDER
You can order on-line at our website or by phone. For security reasons, we do not accept orders via email, text, fax or social media Direct Message. If you have questions, always feel free to email info@100eastfinejewelry.com or call or text 812-202-2143. We welcome dealing with you directly and are thrilled to take your phone order. We’re here for you!
Our on-line order process is straight forward. Items you’ve selected from your cart are processed through our secure server and directed to PayPal for payment or credit application. Once PayPal approves the transaction, we will notify you by email and initiate the fulfillment process.
Please call us if you desire to pay by wire transfer or set up a layaway arrangement. Once placed, we will provide payment instructions and an Order Acknowledgement. Please note, our Order Acknowledgement takes precedence over any conflicting information displayed on the website. Notify us immediately of any discrepancies.
PAYMENT METHODS
We strive to make your purchase secure. Our payment process is designed so you can buy with confidence knowing your sensitive personal financial information is not shared by us. We utilize:
- PayPal Payments, either through our website check-out or by invoicing you directly.
- Financing is available through PayPal Credit, subject to consumer credit approval. Visit PayPal.com to learn the benefits of paying or financing through PayPal.
- Call us if you wish to pay with a Bank to Bank Wire Transfer (aka bank deposit or credit transfer) from your bank account to ours. We will not accept bank account or routing information provided in writing and we will not send our account information in writing. This information can only be provided verbally.
- We are happy to offer a 2 to 4 month interest-free Layaway Plan. No credit check is required. With a 25% minimum deposit, the remaining balance must be evenly spread over 2, 3 or 4 monthly installments, whichever best serves your needs. We will set the item aside and send it once final payment has cleared. Should you decide to cancel the layaway at any time, we will return your money less any expenses we incur.
Layaway and Bank to Bank Wire Transfer (aka bank deposit or credit transfer) are not website check-out options. They are only possible by calling us at 812-202-2143. We are extremely sensitive to the potential for fraud or deception and we may request additional information prior to shipping, for your protection and ours. Failure to adequately respond may result in shipping delays, at a minimum, or, at our sole discretion, order cancellation.
SHIPPING TO AN ALTERNATE ADDRESS
Shipping orders to an address other than your billing address is solely at the discretion of 100 East Fine Jewelry on a situation by situation basis. At minimum, the shipment must be paid for in one of the following ways:
- Through PayPal. PayPal and 100 East Fine Jewelry may request additional information or actions prior to shipping. Failure to adequately comply may result in shipping delays, at a minimum, or, at our sole discretion, order cancellation.
- As a direct Bank to Bank Wire Transfer (aka bank deposit or credit transfer) from your bank account to ours. Once payment is received and cleared by our bank, we will prepare the item for shipment. Shipping delays will most likely be experienced as a result.
ORDER PROCESSING TIME
Each order is thoroughly inspected and securely packaged in two shipping cases for additional product protection in the event of shipping damage. Orders generally leave our facility 5 to 6 business days following payment approval. We will provide you with estimated shipping dates once the order is received. We will notify you of any expected shipping delays.
FREE SHIPPING AND INSURANCE FOR ORDERS OVER $500
Once we turn your order over to the shipping carrier, the standard in-transit time is 2 to 3 business days. For shipments to a single address totaling $500 or more (item price only), shipping and shipping insurance are complimentary. Orders less than $500 are shipped and delivery insured for a flat rate of $25. We require a delivery signature, regardless of order size. For any orders returned undeliverable or refused by recipient, other than due to damage or suspected tampering, our cost of shipping and insurance will be deducted from the refund.
At the point of delivery, while the delivery person is present and before signing for the package, please inspect the package carefully for any signs of damage or tampering. Should you see either condition, refuse delivery. If possible, take pictures of the package, send them to us and retain the photos for future reference.
ORDER TRACKING
We will notify you of order status and provide shipment tracking information via email.
CANCELING OR CHANGING AN ORDER
We have the right to cancel any order at our discretion. We will attempt to accommodate your order change and cancellation requests when received prior to shipping.
WHITE GOLD JEWELRY AND RHODIUM PLATING
Some of our white gold jewelry pieces are rhodium plated. Read the Product Detail sheet of each piece made with white gold where we disclose whether or not it’s rhodium plated. All our white gold jewelry is made from a gold alloy which contains nickel. If you are interested in an item that is not rhodium plated but want it plated, we will electroplate it for you, at no additional charge. This increases delivery time. Rhodium plating cannot be removed.
RING AND BRACELET SIZES AND RESIZING
Complimentary ring resizing is available with each purchase. If a bracelet can be resized, we will provide a quote for the additional costs of resizing.
All jewelry pieces on our website are pre-made. Our rings are manufactured to either size 6.5 or 7. Bracelet sizes vary in size and style. We provide important ring and bracelet dimensions on each Product Detail page, along with resizing capability. Contact us during the purchase process to address ring and bracelet size questions. To help you determine your ring and bracelet size, articles are available in the Education Section of our website and plastic ring sizers may be sent upon request, no purchase necessary. SPECIAL NOTE: Resizing increases order processing time and renders the item ineligible for return.
RING ENGRAVING
If you want a monogram, name or special message engraved on the inside of a ring’s band, we will work with you to determine if your message is possible. We offer either laser or hand engraving options. Cost estimates are provided upon request. SPECIAL NOTE: Engraving increases order processing time and renders the ring ineligible for return.
PACKAGING AND PERSONALIZED CARDS
Our 100 East and Sas E Gems branded items are packaged in elegant display boxes with an outer gift box. Gordon's Curated Selection items ship in soft fabric pouches. Complimentary personalized gift cards will be included, if requested.

RETURNS FROM APO AND FPO ADDRESSES
We appreciate your service to our Country! We understand that packages shipped to overseas APO/FPO addresses can take longer than domestic shipments.

All other terms as outlined in the “Additional terms of the 30 day satisfaction guarantee policy” and “Additional requirements” sections of the PRODUCT RETURNS AND OUR 30 DAY SATISFACTION GUARANTEE POLICY apply.
CUSTOMIZING OUR DESIGNS
We are not custom jewelers. There are many fine custom designers who would love your business. However, if you desire one of our designs, but prefer to make it your own, we may be able to customize that design to achieve your vision. If you’d prefer a different metal or stone type or color and maybe some ‘minor tweaks’, ask us, we might be able to help you. Be aware, there is a fine line between a ‘minor tweak’ to an existing design and a major modification of the design.
If we feel your vision is something within our scope, we will not modify an existing jewelry piece. We will create a special order from scratch. Undertaking this special order will involve a series of discrete steps entailing periodic quotes, commitments and deposits. Special orders can increase price, and will increase order processing time and render the item ineligible for return. Bringing your particular vision to life may be worth it, though!
REPAIRS
Consider us for your jewelry repairs and adjustments. We know our pieces better than anyone!
