Important Information
We design and craft our treasures with hundreds of components and natural materials sourced from all over the world. Much of this is handcrafted and/or natural materials and components that are not always identical each time we order them. We are constantly striving to maintain our designs as you see them in the photography on our website, but sometimes we cannot obtain the exact patterns, precise design details, textures and colors of the materials and components as you see them on our web site. If we must use a component or material within one of our designs that differs somewhat from the photography on our site, we will strive to achieve equivalent or greater quality and character to what is represented in our photography.
The size and shape of some of the pearls and gemstones we create our jewelry from may vary slightly, so while we strive to achieve the exact overall size of the pieces as they are noted on the website, there may be slight variation. Please accept that we use high character natural materials and there will be some variation from one piece of jewelry to the next, but our goal is always for you to be thrilled with the jewelry that you have received from Jewels of the Reef.
Everyone’s computer can show color differently and as such, the colors you see on your monitor may differ slightly from the actual piece of jewelry. We photograph all of our jewelry under full spectrum lighting that is very close to natural daylight in color so as to reduce the impact of this potential difficulty. In order to give you the opportunity to view our products in great detail, some products may appear larger or smaller than their actual size in our photographs and since every computer monitor is set differently, actual size may vary slightly from what you perceive on your monitor.
At Jewels of the Reef we are passionate about our design and craftsmanship utilizing natural materials. We will not knowingly use any material that is a synthetic, lab created or fake material representing something it is not. We strive to avoid materials that have been artificially dyed or color treated as we specialize in the beauty of nature in our work. Still, there are some materials we choose to use rather than shun that are very popular today that have been treated in some way prior to our acquiring them. Natural stone and pearl enhancement, treatment and sometimes irradiation is a fact of life in the jewelry produced today and should be expected in the jewelry you buy from any source. It has become virtually impossible for us to know the specific treatments each material has gone through before we procure it simply because many sources do not disclose this information to us. Because we want you to be as educated on this matter as you are comfortable with, we are providing you with these links to other web sites that have descriptions of these processes and of the various stones.
