RCDC reserves the right to change or modify any of these Terms and Conditions or any policy or guideline of the Site at any time, and in its sole discretion. Any change or modification will be effective immediately upon posting of the revisions on the Site. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of its changes or modifications will constitute your acceptance of such changes or modifications.

Product Availability and Pricing
If you're interested in an item that is currently unavailable on our Site, call us and we can try to obtain the item for you. Sometimes an item displayed on the Site may be sold before we are able to update the Site. If this happens, we will contact you directly to discuss possible options.
Data, including prices, may be inaccurately displayed on our Site due to system or typographical errors. While we make every attempt to avoid these errors, they may occur. We reserve the right to correct any and all errors when they do occur, and we do not honor inaccurate or erroneous prices. If a product's listed price is lower than its actual price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping the product or cancel the order and notify you of such cancellation. If the order has been shipped, you agree to either return the product or pay the difference between the actual and charged prices. Our prices are also subject to change without notice. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause.
Diamond Certificates
When you order a loose diamond, we ship it to you with the accompanying GIA diamond grading report (also called a diamond certificate). These grading reports are detailed documents created by diamond grading experts at the GIA - making it very expensive to replace a diamond grading report. Because of this, we require each diamond grading report to be included with each returned diamond. If you do not include the diamond grading report with your return, you will be charged a replacement fee of $250.
Comparison Purchasing
We do not allow comparison purchasing. Comparison purchasing is the act of buying several items with the intent of keeping the one you like best and returning the remainder. This causes undue restocking and inventory overhead and can be very costly.
Information on our Site
At RCDC, we make every attempt to ensure that all information on our Site is as accurate and complete as possible. In order to give you the opportunity to view our products in great detail, the images and videos provided are larger than the actual size of our products; and since every computer monitor is set differently, color and size may vary. Our objective is to provide you with as much information and detail about your prospective purchase as possible so that you can see the beauty and shape of a particular item. In compliance with industry standards and FTC regulations, RCDC states that carat total weight on all jewelry purchases may vary 0.05 carats from stated weight. For diamond jewelry set with multiple diamonds, we provide the minimum total carat weight for the piece. Color and clarity grades are expressed as an average.
Policy on Ethical Sourcing
At RCDC, we only purchase diamonds that adhere to the standards established by the Kimberley Process, an international system that polices the trade of diamonds to ensure they are from sources free of conflict.
