By submitting your items, You explicitly and expressly accept this limitation of liability. Any merchandise returned to You will be insured for $500 or the appraised value, if the appraised value exceeds $500, as determined by Ross-Simons, regardless of what the merchandise was insured for when initially submitted by You to Ross-Simons - unless Ross-Simons is otherwise notified by e-mail or fax by You prior to Ross-Simons's shipment of the returned merchandise, and You agree to pay for the cost of any extra insurance requested. Ross-Simons shall, in its sole discretion, choose the return carrier, insurance amount and receipt-verification method for each transaction. The Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Rhode Island, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Ross-Simons.com's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement will not be deemed to be a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. You agree that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the services offered by Ross-Simons.com must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred.

If your payment is cashed or deposited in a bank or financial institution, this will constitute an acceptance by You of the terms offered by Ross-Simons and your acceptance of the transaction, at such time this transaction will be final and your material will be processed for refinement. If You change your mind about selling your material, or are dissatisfied with the amount of the payment You received, You may cancel the transaction or decline the payment amount offered by Ross-Simons. To do so, You must notify us immediately. Go to www.sellingyourfinejewelry.com or call 1-800-348-4414 and notify us of your intention to cancel the transaction.

This time limitation cannot be waived for any reason. Ross-Simons will not be responsible for any loss or damage of any kind if the time limitation is not strictly followed.
However, before we can determine the actual amount we are willing to pay we must of course see the piece(s) in person. We will provide a free, insured Selling-Fine-Jewelry kit for you to send us your unwanted jewelry.

Image Upload:
Send us clear high resolution images. We know everyone is not a photographer but the following tips might help you take better pictures. Use the macro feature of your camera; do not use the zoom. Use a light background, natural light is best, try photographing near a window. The camera will need to be brought close to the jewelry to fill the screen as mush as possible. Depress the shutter release half way for auto focus and then fully to take the picture.
File Upload:
