Date of last update: 12/06/2026
1. Preamble, object, and identity of the party in charge of the offer
1.1 Our activity concerning orders realised through the Internet and excluding orders which imply a preliminary presentation of the offered product, complies with the mail order sales regulation as stipulated in the Consumption Code of the French law.
We comply with this regulation in the respect of the consumer’s rights and of his/her protection. We are fond followers of the given word and wish to avoid law suits, since our creed is a durable satisfaction of the customer. Beyond the general terms and conditions described below, we interpret all request in the same state of mind.
We will develop hereafter the most important points as well as those which i-diamants has chosen to broaden for the benefit of the buyer, such as for example the right to renege (14 days), which has been extended to a 30-Day guarantee, taking into account the particularity of the product.
You can find the reference texts about mail order sales regulations, as well as references to articles of the French Law and answers to frequently asked questions, on https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr and on the mail-order sales and electronic trade website:http://www.fevad.com. You can visit it and read the Reference Texts page in the Documentation section.

2. Elements of the online purchase process
Offers, order, differed payment, order depending on availability, confirmation of reception of the order, of its validation and of its shipping.
2.1 Offers: content, price, delivery deadlines
2.1.1 The sale offers presented in the online “Catalogue” and in the ‘Selection Offer”, which is a sub-part of the catalogue, are valid as long as they are online and available. Each diamond offer has a reference number and each reference has a “diamond card”, which covers the main characteristics of the diamond as they appear in the independent gemmological certificate.
2.1.2 The prices. ID maintains the right to change prices in the catalogue at any time and without previous notice, we point out that the applicable conditions are those into force on the site at the moment your order is registered.
The guaranteed purchase price is therefore the one indicated in euro in the catalogue at the time of purchase, which is materialised by a confirmation e-mail to inform you that your order has been received.
Delivery costs, free for Metropolitan France, Monaco, the French Overseas Territories, Switzerland and the EU zone (European Union), are clearly indicated in the order form.
2.1.3 Delivery deadlines. Except in cases where the parties have agreed otherwise, the ordered products will be delivered within a maximum of 30 days, starting from the time the order is validated. The deadline will generally be much shorter. Each product page indicates the delivery time for the product, 2 to 3 weeks for most.
2.2. The Order
2.2.1 Payment Methods
For payment, the website uses a secure payment interface (https).
You can pay for your orders:
(a) by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) or by Paypal: the order amount will be debited within 7 (seven) days. The order registration date is the date of online payment.
(b) by bank transfer: the website will provide you with the bank details of ID De Hantsetters (the company name of the trade name "i-diamants"). You must make the required transfer so that it appears within 7 (seven) days for the order to be registered. The order registration date is the date the funds are received in ID De Hantsetters' account.
(c) by credit card with 3 interest-free installments (Visa, MasterCard, American Express): the amount of your order will be divided into three equal installments.
The first third will be debited within 7 (seven) days of the order.
The next third will be debited one month after the order.
The final third will be debited two months after the order.
The order registration date is the date of online payment.
2.2.2 Confirmation of the order reception
The order reception is confirmed by an e-mail.
2.2.3 Confirmation of the order validation
An order is validated once the payment has been accepted by the bank payment centres and by Oneytrust, and once the ordered diamonds’ availability has been checked.
The order is subject to availability. If the ordered diamond is unavailable, ID will suggest a selection of diamonds of similar or superior quality at no extra cost and will, in all cases, offer you the option to cancel your order. As each diamond is unique, no substitution will be possible without your explicit consent.
We will confirm this validation of the order by e-mail, which can take 1 day to 7 days.
2.2.4 Changes to your order if a product is unavailable:
Our offers are subject to availability. If one or more diamond(s) in your order become unavailable, we will replace them with diamond(s) of at least equivalent quality, without affecting the original price. You will be informed as soon as we become aware of this situation; we will provide you with a new delivery date, if applicable, and will, in any case, offer you the option to cancel your order.
We also reserve the right to cancel all or part of an order in the event of a supplier failure or force majeure. You will be notified as soon as possible, and we will issue a full refund of any sums already paid for the order or the canceled portion. In any event, we will contact you as quickly as possible to discuss the available options.
2.2.5 Confirmation of the shipping
We will confirm the date of the shipping of the order by e-mail.
3. Delivery, right to renege, 30-Day guarantee
3.1 Delivery, Transfer of Ownership, and Transfer of Risk
Delivery is deemed to occur on the day the products are first presented at the delivery address indicated in the order.
Transfer of Ownership: Ownership of the products is transferred to you only upon full payment of the price. Until the price is paid in full, the products remain the property of i-diamants.
Transfer of Risk: The risk of loss, theft, or damage to the products is transferred to the customer upon actual delivery, i.e., upon the first presentation of the package at the delivery address.
Practical Consequence for the Customer: Throughout the entire transport period, until this first presentation, the risks remain with i-diamants. Thus, in the event of loss, theft, or damage occurring during transport, i-diamants assumes full responsibility and undertakes to offer you, at its discretion and subject to availability, either the replacement of an identical product or a full refund of the sums paid. In the event of any apparent damage upon delivery (damaged package, signs of tampering), we recommend that you refuse the package or make specific and detailed reservations with the carrier upon receipt, and inform us in writing within 48 hours of delivery at info@i-diamants.com. After this period, any claim for apparent damage will be difficult to pursue.
If you accepted the package with reservations or subsequently discovered hidden damage, you may exercise your right of withdrawal under the conditions set out in Article 3.2 or your 30-day commercial guarantee under the conditions set out in Article 3.3.
3.2 Right to renege
By applying articles relative to the right to renege for mail-order sales from the Consumption Code, you have at your disposal a delay of 14 clear days, starting from the time the products have been received, to exercise your right to renege without having to justify your motives or to pay any penalties except for the return fees. (i-diamants has chosen to broaden this right to renege: See 3.3 30-Day Guarantee).
3.2.1 Exercising your right to renege is subject to the following conditions:
Certified diamonds, delivered sealed from the gemmological laboratory (which corresponds to IGI or HRD certified diamonds that are ordered and delivered alone, without being set in a piece of jewelry), must be returned in their intact original sealed packaging (=closed) with the original certificate and its duplicate, in perfect condition, including the packaging accessories, jewel case, 10x diamond magnifying glass… since they are part of the original parcel, and accompanied by a purchase invoice.
If the sealed package has been opened, the refund will only be completed once it has been verified that the quality of the product is consistent with the quality of it when it was sent; and, in case of doubts, the refund will only be completed once the same independent gemmological laboratory who had initially certified the diamond re-certifies it again, deducing the re- certification fees as well as the transportation fees and insurance fees linked to these procedures.
For certified diamonds sent in an envelope (which corresponds to GIA certified diamonds that are ordered and delivered on their own, without being set in a piece of jewelry), the refund will be completed once it has been verified that the quality of the product is consistent with the quality of it when it was sent. We will proceed to the inspection.
For products consisting of a diamond set in a mount (solitaire rings, wedding bands, engagement rings, and any other set jewelry), the jewelry must be returned in its original, unaltered condition.
- Inspection upon receipt: All returned set jewelry undergoes a systematic inspection by our expert jewelers to verify: (a) the conformity of the diamond with the one ordered (cut, quality, certificate number); (b) the condition of the mount (absence of scratches, dents, signs of wear, or external tampering); (c) the integrity of the setting.
- Inspection result: If the jewelry is deemed to be in its original condition, the refund will be issued under the conditions stipulated in Article 3.2.4. If signs of alteration or external tampering are found, i-diamants reserves the right to refuse the refund or to apply a discount, the amount of which will be communicated to the customer before any final decision is made. The customer then retains the right to request the return of the jewelry at their own expense.
- Inspection timeframe: The inspection will be carried out within a maximum of 7 business days from receipt of the return. The refund period stipulated in article 3.2.4 begins upon validation of the inspection, not solely upon receipt of the package.
You must inform ID in writing (email, fax or letter) of your decision to return the product and follow the instructions we will communicate to you about how to proceed to the return.
3.2.2 Instructions for returns
Unless it is specified otherwise, the product must be sent back to our address, ensured for the amount shown on the invoice, using a special packaging which will be provided to you, and using the carrier we have chosen (through the normal postal services as a Declared Value or through our private carrier who will come to pick up the parcel on the given date at the address that has been agreed upon previously).
The additional delay between the moment of the notification and the provision of the logistics for the return will not be considered as part of the fourteen days.
3.2.3 Return fees and insurance fees (approximately 30 to 50 euros for a return trip from France) are your responsibility and will be deducted from the refund, unless the product is returned because the delivered item(s) do(es) not comply with the original order, or in the case of a late delivery. In this case, 100% will be refunded.
3.2.4 Refund deadline
A full refund of all payments made will be issued no later than 14 days after we are informed of your decision to withdraw. However, in accordance with Article L. 221-24 of the French Consumer Code, we reserve the right to postpone this refund until we have received the goods back without reservation and provided that the conditions described in section 3.2.1 have been met. The refund will be issued using the same payment method as the initial transaction, unless you expressly agree to a different method.
3.2.5 Exclusions from the right of withdrawal and cancellation
The right of withdrawal and cancellation cannot be exercised, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, for diamonds and/or for goods made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalized, in accordance with Article L. 221-28, 3° of the French Consumer Code.
Within the scope of i-diamants' activities, the following are considered "non-personalized" and therefore fully eligible for cancellation:
- the choice of metal from the options offered in the catalog (white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, platinum)
- the choice of ring size
- the choice of a diamond from the predefined selections presented on the product page or in the diamond catalog
- any laser-engraved inscription on the gold or platinum mount (initials, date, message, or any other text)
- diamonds that have a certificate number engraved on them from the outset, such as GIA, HRD, and IGI certified diamonds
Conversely, the following are considered "personalizations excluding the right of cancellation":
- any laser-engraved inscription on the diamond, made at the express request of the client (initials, date, message, or any other text)
- any order for cutting, recutting, or transforming diamonds belonging to the client
- any configuration or creation resulting from specific instructions from the client falling outside the scope of the options offered online by i-diamants, and resulting in a special manufacturing process expressly confirmed in writing.
3.3 30-Day Commercial Guarantee — Money Back Guarantee
Beyond the statutory right of withdrawal stipulated in Article 3.2, i-diamants offers you, as a voluntary commercial guarantee and outside of any legal obligation, the possibility of returning ordered products for a refund or exchange up to thirty calendar days after the delivery date.
This commercial guarantee is longer than the statutory right of withdrawal, but is subject to conditions of application freely defined by i-diamants, as described below. It does not replace the statutory guarantees of conformity and against hidden defects stipulated in Articles 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, which remain applicable independently.
3.3.1. The right to exercise the satisfied or reimbursed 30-Day guarantee depends on the following conditions:
Certified diamonds, delivered sealed from the gemmological laboratory (which corresponds to IGI or HRD certified diamonds that are ordered and delivered alone, without being set in a piece of jewelry), must be returned in their intact original sealed packaging (=closed) with the original certificate and its duplicate, in perfect condition, including the packaging accessories, jewel case, 10x diamond magnifying glass… since they are part of the original parcel, and accompanied by a purchase invoice.
If the sealed package has been opened, the refund will only be completed once it has been verified that the quality of the product is consistent with the quality of it when it was sent; and, in case of doubts, the refund will only be completed once the same independent gemmological laboratory who had initially certified the diamond re-certifies it again, deducing the re- certification fees as well as the transportation fees and insurance fees linked to these procedures.
For certified diamonds sent in an envelope (which corresponds to GIA certified diamonds that are ordered and delivered on their own, without being set in a piece of jewelry), the refund will be completed once it has been verified that the quality of the product is consistent with the quality of it when it was sent. We will proceed to the inspection.
You must inform ID in writing (email, fax or letter) of your decision to return the product and follow the instructions we will communicate to you about how to proceed to the return.
Unless it is specified otherwise, the product must be sent back to our address, ensured for the amount shown on the invoice, using a special packaging which will be provided to you, and using the carrier we have chosen (through the normal postal services as a Declared Value or through our private carrier who will come to pick up the parcel on the given date at the address that has been agreed upon previously).
The additional delay between the moment of the notification and the provision of the logistics for the return will not be considered as part of the thirty days.
After receipt of the return and inspection of the conformity of the product, the reimbursement will be 100% with the exception of return and insurance costs (approximately 30 to 50 euros for a return from France) which will be your responsibility and will be deducted from the reimbursement except in the case of a return for reasons of non-conformity of the product delivered compared to the product ordered, or in the case of late delivery. In the latter cases, the refund will be 100%, return costs and insurance included.
3.3.2 Refund deadline
You will be refunded within a maximum of 14 days after the date your right to renege has been applied, provided that the return has been received unreservedly and that the conditions described in the article 3.3.1 have been respected.
3.3.3 Exclusions from the 30-Day guarantee
This commercial warranty is a voluntary extension granted by i-diamants beyond its legal obligations. Therefore, i-diamants reserves the right to define its scope. This warranty does not apply to the following products, which i-diamants has chosen to exclude from its commercial scope:
- any laser-engraved inscription on the diamond, made at the express request of the customer;
- any order for cutting, recutting, or transforming diamonds belonging to the customer;
- any configuration or creation resulting from specific instructions from the customer that fall outside the scope of the options offered online, and which has resulted in a custom manufacturing process expressly confirmed in writing.
3.4 Resizing
Resizing and associated costs (reshipment of the jewelry) are free on all our solitaire rings, rings, and wedding bands within 30 days of receiving your package for any ring size discrepancies of up to two size sizes (for example, resizing a ring from size 50 to 52 is possible, as is resizing from 50 to 48, while resizing a ring from 50 to 53 or 50 to 47 is subject to the condition that it is technically feasible without altering the aesthetics of the jewelry or weakening it).
3.4.1 Return Process for Resizing
To request resizing, the customer must contact customer service in writing or by telephone before returning any item, specifying the new size desired and carefully following the return procedure provided. The resizing request is considered effective only upon receipt, in writing, of the acknowledgement of receipt issued by us.
Return shipping, insurance, and reshipping costs are covered by our company, provided that the package is shipped using the reshipping documents provided by us and from one of the following countries: Metropolitan France, French Overseas Departments and Territories (DOM TOM), and countries of the European Union.
The resizing process takes 2 (two) to 4 (four) weeks.
3.4.2 Conditions for Accepting Resizing Requests
Resizing requests as described in section 3.4 above will only be processed by i-diamants if:
(a) the return process described in section 3.4.1 has been followed;
(b) the products are returned to us in perfect condition. Therefore, incomplete, damaged, or defective returned items cannot be resized.
(c) Our specialists confirm that the setting and stone, or any other component of the product, are identical to the product sent to you, without damage, modification, or alteration of any kind.
We also specify that certain special products cannot be resized. These are clearly indicated as such to the customer at the time of ordering.
4. Guarantees concerning the products and the website
4.1 Legal Guarantees Concerning Products
4.1.1 Legal Guarantee of Conformity
In accordance with Articles L. 217-3 et seq. of the French Consumer Code, as amended by Ordinance No. 2021-1247 of September 29, 2021, concerning the legal guarantee of conformity for goods, i-diamants.com undertakes to deliver all goods conforming to the contract and is liable for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery, including those resulting from packaging or installation carried out under its responsibility.
Goods are considered compliant if they correspond to the agreed description, type, quantity, and quality, if they are fit for the purpose for which goods of the same type are normally used, and if they possess the qualities that a consumer can legitimately expect, taking into account the contract and the public statements made by i-diamants.com, particularly in advertising.
The buyer has two years from the date of delivery of the goods to make a claim under this warranty. Defects appearing within this period are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.
In the event of a lack of conformity, the buyer has the right to have the goods brought into conformity by repair or replacement, or, failing that, to a price reduction or to terminate the contract under the conditions set forth in Articles L. 217-8 to L. 217-17 of the French Consumer Code. The buyer is not required to pay any upfront costs associated with bringing the goods into conformity.
i-diamants may refuse to proceed according to the buyer's choice if the requested remedy is impossible or entails disproportionate costs, particularly in light of the value the goods would have in the absence of the defect and the significance of the defect. If the remedy is not performed, i-diamants is obligated to proceed, unless impossible, according to the method not chosen by the buyer.
The buyer may obtain a price reduction or cancellation of the contract when: i-diamants refuses to bring the product into compliance; compliance is delayed beyond thirty days; it causes significant inconvenience to the buyer; the non-conformity persists despite attempts to bring the product into compliance; or the defect is so serious that it justifies an immediate price reduction or immediate cancellation of the contract. However, cancellation of the contract is not permitted if the non-conformity is minor.
Any product repaired under this warranty benefits from a six-month warranty extension. In the event of a replacement, the replacement product benefits from a new two-year legal warranty of conformity from the date of delivery.
To exercise this warranty, the buyer can contact our customer service department at info@i-diamants.com or via the contact form available on the website.
4.1.2 Legal Guarantee Against Hidden Defects
In accordance with Articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, i-diamants.com is liable for hidden defects in the goods sold that render them unfit for their intended use, or that so diminish their usefulness that the buyer would not have purchased them, or would have paid a lower price, had they been aware of them.
The buyer has two years from the discovery of the defect to take action. They may choose between returning the goods and receiving a full refund (redhibitory action) or keeping the goods and receiving a partial refund (estimatory action).
4.1.3 Specific Guarantees for Set Jewelry
For products combining a diamond and a setting (solitaire rings, wedding bands, engagement rings, etc.), i-diamants provides the following additional details and guarantees:
Setting: Each diamond is set by our expert jewelers. In the event of a setting defect discovered within two years of delivery, i-diamants undertakes to repair it free of charge, provided that the jewelry has not been subjected to impact, abnormal handling, or external intervention.
Metal and Finishes: Gold (white, yellow, rose) and platinum settings are manufactured according to French jewelry standards. Normal wear and tear of the metal from daily use does not constitute a lack of conformity. However, any structural defect (fracture, abnormal deformation, premature tarnishing) discovered within two years of delivery will be covered under the legal guarantee of conformity referred to in Article 4.1.1.
Recommended maintenance: To preserve the quality of your jewelry, we recommend an annual check of the setting by a professional jeweler. This check does not affect the application of legal warranties but contributes to the longevity of the jewelry.
Exclusions: Damage resulting from impact, exposure to chemicals (perfumes, household products, chlorinated water), normal wear and tear, or any intervention carried out by a third party not authorized by i-diamants is excluded from these specific warranties.
These specific warranties apply without prejudice to the legal warranties of conformity and against hidden defects provided for in Articles 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 above.
4.2 Website Availability and Operation
i-diamants strives to ensure the continuous accessibility and proper functioning of the website www.i-diamants.com. However, given the inherent limitations of the internet, i-diamants cannot guarantee uninterrupted access to the website, nor that it will be free from errors or viruses.
