- Refusal of Shipment: If an international recipient refuses to pay assessed customs duties or rejects delivery, the shipment will be returned to DIAN Jewellery. In such instances, all round-trip international shipping costs, customs penalties, and carrier return handling surcharges will be deducted from any applicable refund.

- Personalised Name Necklaces & Arabic Calligraphy Jewellery: Handcrafted to order within 5–10 business days following client approval of the digital CAD render preview.
- Bespoke Engagement Rings & Custom Creations: Individualized production schedules (typically 10–18 business days) are established during the 3D design and gemological selection consultation.
7. High-Value Shipment Protocol & Discreet Packaging
To protect your purchase against transit risks:
- Discreet Outer Packaging: External courier packaging contains no logos, luxury indicators, or references to "jewellery" or "gold" to deter tampering and theft during handling.
- Full Transit Insurance: Every outbound parcel is 100% insured by DIAN Jewellery until the moment of signed courier delivery.
- Adult Signature & ID Verification: High-value consignments (exceeding AED 10,000 or featuring certified diamond solitaires) require an adult signature upon delivery. Couriers will not leave parcels unattended or with unauthorized parties.
8. 48-Hour Inspection & Transit Damage Reporting Window
Clients must examine parcels immediately upon delivery:
- In the unlikely event that an outer parcel arrives crushed, visibly opened, or tampered with, note this explicitly with the courier delivery driver upon signing.
- You must notify DIAN Jewellery within 48 hours of courier delivery by contacting our concierge via WhatsApp at +971 58 534 7991 or emailing care@dianjewellery.com.
- Please submit clear, uncropped photographic and video documentation showing the external courier label, packaging box condition, and the interior contents.
