returns instructions
If you have purchased an item that you would like to return, you must contact us to request an ART number (Authorized Return Ticket). When you receive an ART number you will also be provided with the address to send your return to.
Do not send in a return unless you have an ART number.
All shipments will be refused and returned to the sender if an ART has not been issued.
Depending on the value of the item you are returning, you will be given special instructions on how to send in a return. Items returned MUST be in the same new condition as they were when they were delivered to you. We will NOT accept damaged items. Please review our return policies before calling in for an ART number. A refund will be issued after we receive your return, via the method you originally used to place your order with Gem Sanctum. In order to deter potential theft, please do not write any words on the package shipping label that may allude to the contents of the package (such as gems, sapphires, jewelry, etc.).

If required by customs or the shipping company, please contact us first to receive your customs declaration information, in order to ensure insured coverage for transit.
