Sometimes with the volume of orders we receive, an item shown on the Site may not be in stock before we post a notification on the Site or remove it. If this happens, we will contact you directly to discuss possible options. Data, including prices, may be inaccurately displayed on the Site due to our conversion-system or typographical errors.

General Site Information

We make every attempt to ensure that our online info is as accurate and complete as possible. 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 different, color and size may vary slightly. We want to provide you with as much information and detail about your prospective purchase as possible. In compliance with industry standards and FTC regulations, Book of Alchemy states that carat total weight in all purchases may vary 0.05 carats from stated weight. The weight of the item stated in the description is based on a size 62. Weight may vary depending on ring-size. On the Site, we provide the measurement of our products based on our manufacturing specifications. Slight tolerances may be accounted for based on finishing during the manufacturing. For gemstone and pearl measurements, a tolerance of 0.25mm is allowed. For diamond jewelry set with multiple diamonds, we provide the minimum total carat weight for the piece. Color and clarity grades are expressed as either a minimum or an average depending on the number of diamonds. If stated as a minimum, all diamonds within the piece are at or above the stated quality. If expressed as an average, collectively the quality is equal to or exceeds the grade stated.

Policy on Ethical Sourcing
At Book of Alchemy, we purchase diamonds through the largest and most respected suppliers who adhere to and enforce 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.

ENTRY WEIGHTING.
Equality matters to us at Book of Alchemy: we use a system so that entries are treated equally.The maximum number of entries for any one person is restricted to 12 entries per person per campaign.
A total of 3000 entries are available for the campaign.
WHO CAN ENTER A CAMPAIGN?
Some countries don’t allow raffle contests. So, we have to restrict entries from those countries. This means that most campaigns are open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, and most countries around the world, but they’re void in all countries found on the United States list of embargoed countries, as well as in countries where local laws prohibit entry into raffle contests.
Also, to keep things fair, full-time and part-time employees of Book of Alchemy, and members of their household and immediate families (i.e., parents, spouses, domestic partners, siblings, and children), are not eligible to enter. Additionally, any individual that uses a bot, software, or any other codes, instructions or third-party software for the purpose of automatically entering into a raffle contest or in any way that provides an unfair advantage over individuals that enter manually, automated or robotic Entries submitted by individuals or organizations will be disqualified. Internet entry must be made by the Entrant. Any attempt by Entrant to obtain more than the stated number of Entries by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations, logins or any other methods, including, but not limited to, commercial contest/raffle contests subscription notification and/or entering services, will void Entrant's Entries and that Entrant will be disqualified from the raffle contest they entered and all future raffle contests, subject to Book of Alchemy’s sole discretion. Final eligibility for the award of any prize is subject to eligibility verification as set forth below. All Entries must be posted by the end of the Promotion Period in order to participate.
