Information We Collect: Via Information Request
To best serve you, we need good contact information and to know something about the type of diamond you are seeking. We provide a computer form that allows you to provide name, address, phone numbers, email address, and some general information about what you are shopping for.
In general, we will try to contact you first by email then we would like to visit with you by phone because we have found this to be the best way to develop a good understanding of your requirements and for you to build confidence in us. We also like the ability to email and/or fax information to you with regard to the specifications and price of a diamond we would find for you. If we can get a copy of the certification, we like to fax that to you also. The purpose of this information is to best be able to reach you with the information you seek.
We take credit card information over the phone and not in an internet form. We share this information only with those third parties that are involved in the processing or shipping of the order, and only that information which is absolutely necessary. For example, the financial institution that issued your credit card and the shipping carrier that delivers your order.
Information We Collect: Via email
Should you decide to contact us through our email form, we will use your email address to send you a reply to your question or information need.
Information We Collect: Via telephone
Our toll free telephone number is listed on every page of our web site. We encourage you to call us so we can help answer your questions and better understand your shopping requirements and objectives.
Information We Collect: Via Newsletter Subscription
We make available an email newsletter and should you decide to subscribe, we will use your name and email address to send you newsletter announcements from time to time until you unsubscribe. Subscription to our newsletter is optional and requires your consent via our Newsletter Subscription form.
Information We Collect: Via Price Calculator
Information from the price calculator is not stored or linked in any way to personally identifiable information.

Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.
