CJ Charles reserves the right to cancel products or services to any customer for any reason at any time. The customer's sole remedy in such cases will be the full refund of any funds that we have collected in reference to the canceled products and/or services.



CJ Charles is committed to providing current and accurate information on our web sites, email, chat, and telephone communications. We do not, however, warrant that this information is always correct, accurate or complete. In rare circumstances, system and typographical errors may occur. We reserve the right to correct any and all errors when they do occur. We do not honor prices listed in error. If an order is placed with a lower product’s listed price than the actual price, we will advise the customer before shipping or cancel the order and notify the customer.



Information that we communicate is not a contract, and should not be treated as such. The sole remedy of a customer acting on incorrect information is to request a cancellation of the order placed as a result of this incorrect information. If an order has been shipped, the customer agrees to return the product for full credit or pay the difference between the actual and charged prices. Please review our Return Policies.



CJ Charles holds a dynamic and high volume inventory. The stock availability on our website is listed “as is” and is subject to change. If a product in an order is out of stock, we will advise the customer immediately with possible options. Products may appear on the CJ Charles website larger or smaller than their actual size. Given the variation in computer monitor settings, color and size may vary slightly when viewing product photography. In compliance with industry standards and FTC regulations, carat total weight may vary 0.05 carats from stated weight. CJ Charles retains the full unrestricted rights to all jewelry designs, whether custom or standard, and may choose to market or sell jewelry based on such designs.



Product details and prices are subject to change without notice. All of our prices are final and non-negotiable.
