Our Goal: We strive to supply only the absolute finest chains in the world at extremely competitive pricing. While we do try to keep all items continually in stock, occasional shortages will occur and we ask your patience if your chosen item is out of stock. If no back-orders are desired please specify. In order to keep ahead of the market, we will sometimes eliminate items from our program in favor of something new. Please understand this enables us to offer the latest styles and trends in chains. But we do try to overstock our classics- the items we have always sold and will always carry- so there may be no interruption of supply.

All gold items will be priced by actual weight based on the 2nd London gold price fix of the day of shipping; All sales are final only when you are satisfied with the quality and integrity of your purchase. We are confident that you will be pleased with your purchase and we hope you will never be satisfied with inferior merchandise once you are familiar with our products. All returns or claims for broken or defective goods must be made within ten days of receipt. All returns must be accompanied with a copy of the invoice from which it was purchased. (Top)
