Frequently Asked Questions

Kay’s Fine Jewelry is a family business founded in the Caribbean in 1989 with one mission – treat our customers like members of our extended family. Long before shopping online was even possible, we had a family of loyal customers in North America, Europe and beyond who would wait until they were back in the Caribbean islands to purchase their diamonds, gemstones and heirloom pieces.

Our entire business is built around customer service. While we cannot exactly sit down with you online, rest assured we have done everything possible to make your buying experience easy, comfortable, informed and worry-free. Beyond our extensive selection of diamond and gemstone jewelry and other unique items of “jewelry art”, we are also committed to bringing you the duty-free prices you would enjoy in the islands every time you shop with us online.

Our family is here to bring yours beautiful jewelry and the best possible value. Our customers expect no less and you can hear what they have to say on TripAdvisor and Facebook.

In a word – family. We have built our business with face-to-face service in our Caribbean Island stores for over three decades. Unlike many online jewelers, we did not whip up our website in order to build a quick volume of internet sales. We did it in an effort to reach out to the family of loyal customers who have spent years visiting our island stores for their jewelry purchases. Our website allows these loyal customers and their friends to shop and connect with us anytime they desire. Of course, we also invite you to explore our selection of diamond engagement rings, earrings, necklaces, gemstones and custom design jewelry. Shop at your leisure, browse our collections, and should you need a little assistance, we’re available to chat online or over the phone to help you make the right decision. Even better, for those in the United States, we offer every piece in our collection at the same duty-free price you’d enjoy if you traveled all the way to Aruba or St. Maarten to shop one of our stores. Our commitment is to treat you like family even when you are not in the Caribbean.

Absolutely! At KFJ, we take great pride in ethically sourcing all our stones and maintain a zero-tolerance policy for conflict diamonds. We assure you that every diamond featured in our collection, sold in our stores, or found on this website is 100% Conflict Free. We source all our stones in full accordance with the Kimberley Process, which tracks diamonds from the mine to the market, and we follow all tenets of the United Nations Resolution to end conflict diamond sales. We partner exclusively with site holders who adhere to these same ethical standards. Should we ever find any of our suppliers around the world to be in violation of our ethics, we will immediately end that relationship. KFJ guarantees that your engagement ring or other diamond purchase made either in our stores or online is Conflict Free. No ifs, ands, or buts.

When you purchase gemstone jewelry from Kay’s Fine Jewelry, rest assured that the spectacular color you enjoy is entirely natural. Unlike some jewelers, KFJ can answer this question with absolute certainty. That is because all our gemstones are sourced by our own family experts. We travel to our cutting factories around the world to hand select and buy rough gemstones. We then use the most advanced and precise stone cutting technology at our processing facility to ensure each gemstone is meticulously examined and cut to the most exacting standards to maximize color, saturation and brilliance. KFJ Natural Precious gemstones are heated with full adherence to industry standards in order to bring out their natural color and are rated AA+ in quality. At Kay’s, we refuse to add synthetic color in an effort to enhance the appearance of our gemstones. This only serves to minimize their value and, in our opinion, is not an ethical or proper way to serve our customers. 

We hope you enjoy exploring our online collection of diamond and gemstone pieces. However, we also know that sometimes delivering exactly what you desire requires a little extra design effort on our part and we’re more than happy to do it.

We will be happy to adapt our KFJ settings and concepts to match exactly what you desire. We can modify the center basket shape and size to fit your jewelry requirements. So have some fun! Go ahead and switch out that brilliant round diamond for an emerald cut, or if you see a ring you like a ruby center but would prefer a blue sapphire, we will be glad to make that happen for you.

For entirely original pieces, let our master artisans craft a work of custom design jewelry to your exact specifications. They will work with you to create a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your unique sensibilities and tastes in every way.

Every diamond and fine jewelry purchase at Kay’s Fine Jewelry (above $1000) comes with a certified lab appraisal for insurance and evaluation purposes. This appraisal is not conducted by KFJ. Rather, it is performed by the Universal Gemological Laboratory, Inc. (UGL). Located in New York, this is an entirely independent organization charged with assessing the value of diamonds and colored stones. Your appraisal will include a detailed description of your specific purchase, including carat weights and estimated replacement value in U.S. dollars. Jewelry pieces purchased for less than $1000 are accompanied by a detailed In-store appraisal with full listings. To see a sample of a UGL certificate, click here.

We offer a 30-DAY Return Policy on items purchased online. Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal, and we are happy to exchange purchases or refund your purchase price for items purchased sight unseen online.

We take great pride in treating our customers like extended family and that means making sure that you are happy long after you have purchased your Kay’s Fine Jewelry Piece. That is why we offer a LIFETIME WARRANTY covering manufacturing defects on every purchase.

Should you have any issues with your KFJ purchase, simply contact us so we can understand the problem. We will then have the piece shipped to our Service Center in the United States for a complete evaluation of the issue by our expert jewelers.

If we find a defect in manufacturing or design, we will repair your piece at absolutely no charge and ship it back to you as good as new and entirely free of charge.

If turns out the problem was not caused by a manufacturing defect, we will provide you with a best-cost estimate at repairing the item before conducting any work. All repaired pieces are shipping back free of charge.

This warranty does not cover items that are lost, stolen or experience trauma or damage that might occur during normal wear and tear over the life of a piece.
