Three Rows Worth a Sentence
Grading
Grown Brilliance's 4Cs education guide states that most of its diamonds come with IGI certificates, and its diamond search carries a Report filter offering IGI and GIA alongside colour filters D to F, clarity filters VS2 to IF and cut filters Excellent and Ideal.
Every Beyond Carat diamond is graded by IGI before it ships, and the report travels with the ring at no extra charge. Our published band is D, E or F colour, VVS or VS clarity, and Excellent cut on every piece, at every carat weight. We are IGI-only; if you specifically want a GIA report, our IGI vs GIA page explains the difference.
Returns and resizing
Grown Brilliance's returns page runs 30 days from when the order ships, with free UPS return shipping on U.S. orders and free FedEx return shipping on international orders, and offers one free resize within 30 days after the order ships for U.S. orders.
Beyond Carat counts 65 days from the day the order ships. U.S. returns travel on a prepaid insured UPS label, and the refund goes back to the original payment method with nothing deducted. High jewelry, special orders and truly custom pieces refund as store credit. Resizing is free for a year from shipping on U.S. orders. Full conditions are on our returns page.
