How the dollar price is built
A finished piece has three costs: the stone, the metal, and the making. The price on the listing is the sum, in US dollars, including those three. We do not show a higher compare-at price, and we do not add a making charge on the last screen.
Metal is 18k gold or platinum 950. When the metal weight matters to the price, the grams are on the listing. The gold market moves. A listed price is the price until we change it, not a rate locked to a ticker.
Sales tax is added at checkout where your state requires it. It is not folded into the listed price.
What we will list
Diamonds with a stated carat, cut or shape, color, clarity, and measurements. Finished jewelry in 18k gold or platinum, with the fineness named. Colored stones with the treatment named. Lab-grown and natural, each labeled.
What we will not list
Gold plate described as gold. A diamond simulant described as a diamond. A glass-filled ruby without that phrase in the title. A grade we do not have a basis for. A crossed-out price.
Who answers
Questions go to support.caratara@gmail.com. If we do not know a measurement or a treatment, we say we do not know, and the piece stays off the site until we do.
