These titleholders are required to pass annual re-examinations to ensure these skills and knowledge are kept up to date.

STRICT DIAMOND GRADING

Every Center Stone Diamond either has an independent grading report from a laboratory or has been evaluated by a Lee Michaels Certified Gemologist or Certified Gemologist Appraiser to determine color and clarity.

CONFLICT FREE

Lee Michaels purchases diamonds only from suppliers who affirm that the diamonds are from legitimate sources who are in full compliance with the United Nations Resolutions on conflict-free diamond trading.

LIFETIME EVALUATION UPDATE

Every Lee Michaels diamond purchased for more than $2,500 is accompanied by a written evaluation describing the item(s) and stating the color, clarity, and carat weight. We recommend that you obtain and maintain insurance covering loss, theft or damage to your purchased items. For insurance purposes, it is recommended that you have the valuation of your fine jewelry updated periodically. We offer complimentary evaluation updates every two years on every Lee Michaels diamond purchase over $2,500 when it is brought into the store for evaluation.

LIFETIME TRADE-IN

You may trade in your Lee Michaels Center Stone Diamond at any time for another Lee Michaels Center Stone Diamond, provided your Center Stone Diamond is in its original condition and your new selection is twice the retail value of the Center Stone Diamond to be traded. At the time of trade-in, Lee Michaels Fine Jewelry will evaluate your Lee Michaels Center Stone Diamond and offer you the current value or the original purchase price, whichever is greater, toward your new purchase. You may trade in your diamond at whatever Lee Michaels Fine Jewelry store is near you.

LIFETIME CLEANING & INSPECTION

Your Lee Michaels diamond ring can be brought into any Lee Michaels store at any time for a complimentary cleaning and official inspection. If during the inspection, we determine that due to the condition of the mounting of the ring, additional work is necessary or advisable, a refurbishment fee may be charged.
