We make every effort to make your online ordering
safe and secure. We use SSL (Secure Socket
Layer) encryption to ensure data sent between you
and our servers can not be read by anybody else.
You can determine if the connection you have is
secured by looking at the address URL. A
secured site begins with HTTPS. Unsecured is
HTTP. You can also check by looking for the
lock symbol next to the address bar.
(Internet Explorer and Firefox has a lock symbol
to the right of the address bar. Firefox
will also turn the entire address bar background
color yellow.)

websites. If you are unable to connect to to
our secure servers, contact us at

Our diamonds come from some of the most
respected suppliers in the diamond industry.
Like us, they proudly adhere to and enforce
the standards and regulations established in
the Kimberley Process. JewelryOction has
a zero tolerance policy towards conflict
diamonds. To learn more, visit diamonds
are guaranteed to be conflict free. If one of
our suppliers was ever found to be in
violation of that process, we would
immediately sever that relationship. We will
continue to support and promote any process
that works to uphold legitimacy in the diamond
trade.

JewelryOction fully supports the The Kimberley
Process, an international program to track and
certify diamonds. As of 2003, the United
States Congress passed a law adopting the
Kimberley Process. This requires that
all diamond retailers located in the United
States buy diamonds only from manufacturers
who have documentation guaranteeing that their
diamonds were obtained through legitimate
channels. Today, the US Customs Service
actively enforces the Kimberley Process
requirements as diamonds enter American ports.

statement
on the passage of this law. |
