Buy-Back Policy
Introduction
At SolitaireKart, a prestigious brand under Geological Institute India Private Limited, we take great pride in offering our customers exquisite jewelry that is not only beautiful but also valuable. Our commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond the point of purchase, which is why we have developed a Buy-Back Policy. This policy ensures that customers can return their purchased jewelry at a fair value, under clear and transparent terms.
This document outlines the process and conditions under which SolitaireKart will repurchase items from our customers, detailing specific product deductions, exclusions, and the steps involved in initiating a buy-back.
Policy Overview
This Buy-Back Policy is designed to make the repurchase process clear and straightforward for our customers. It covers the conditions for buy-back eligibility, the deductions applicable on different products, and the procedures to follow.
Terms and Exclusions
General Conditions: Original Condition: To be eligible for buy-back, the item must be in its original condition without any physical damage. This includes not being altered, resized, or damaged in any way.
Original Invoice & Certification: Customers must present the original invoice and any certifications that came with the product (such as diamond or gemstone certificates). This documentation serves as proof of purchase and authenticity, which is essential for determining the buy-back value.
Product-Specific Conditions and Deductions:
Lab-Grown Diamonds:
No Buy-Back Option: SolitaireKart does not offer a buy-back option for lab-grown diamonds under any circumstances. This is because the resale value of lab-grown diamonds in the market differs significantly from natural diamonds and is currently not supported by our buy-back policy.
Natural Diamonds:
Eligibility: Natural diamonds are eligible for buy-back, but they are subject to a 20% deduction from the original purchase price. This deduction accounts for changes in the market value of diamonds, which are constantly influenced by factors like demand, quality, and rarity.
Market Value: The current market rate, as determined by SolitaireKart’s expert appraisers, will be applied to the final buy-back value of the diamond.
Gemstones (Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire):
Eligibility: Gemstones such as rubies, emeralds, and sapphires are eligible for buy-back, but they are subject to a 30% deduction from the original purchase price.
Valuation Process: The final buy-back value will depend on the current market scenario, with authorized SolitaireKart personnel conducting an in-depth assessment based on the gemstone's quality, size, and demand.
Gold Products:
Market Value: The buy-back value for gold products is calculated based on the current market rate of gold at the time of buy-back. Gold prices fluctuate due to market conditions, so the value is determined at the time the buy-back process is initiated.
Deductions: No deductions will be made for making charges or GST (Goods and Services Tax) that was paid during the original purchase. Only the gold’s weight and market price at the time of buy-back will be considered.

Buy-Back Value: Once the evaluation is complete, SolitaireKart will present you with the final buy-back value based on the criteria mentioned earlier.
