Beware of Scam Companies

Authenticity is the key when it comes to buying anything online, especially diamonds. Before you purchase from a Diamond store, first check their authenticity. Else, it can very costly for you. Scam firms' online portals seem original as they pretend to be Australian in every way possible, and it is quite easy to be deceived. For instance, they'll use of Australian flag, prices in Australian dollars, and Australian contact numbers. Whereas in reality they are not located, operating, or registered in Australia. And they'll ship you fake products from overseas and you'll be left with hefty bills from a fraud company.

Guidelines for International Customers

  • Confirming the authentication of the international company is a must.
  • All the shipment charges, bank charges, and government taxes are unavoidable.

Purchasing quality diamond jewelry locally from a registered Australian company can help you avoid paying these heavy charges!
