Warning information you need to know before buying a diamond ring on-line: We strongly recommend that you do not buy diamond rings from online jewellers/manufacturers who supply ‘in-house’ diamond grading certificates, ie diamonds that they have graded themselves. This is a bit like buying a house without the title deeds! You should only buy a diamond, if certified, when it comes with a diamond grading certificate from an independent, unbiased, certified laboratory, (such as GIA, IGI, HRD or EGL) who do not sell diamonds and are not connected to any diamond suppliers or manufacturers Without an independent certificate you are left to trust the jeweller’s estimate, which could be subjective or even misleading. This is why some online diamonds appear surprisingly cheap. The jewellers/suppliers, who provide ‘in-house’ diamond grading certificates, do not pay the £100 independent certification fee, which virtually all quality diamonds must have. More importantly, you do not want your fiancé or partner getting a nasty shock when he/she decides to get your diamond ring valued at the local jeweller’s only to discover that the diamond is nowhere near as valuable, or as good quality, as she (and you) had thought! The only way to avoid this scenario is to make sure your diamond is independently certified, which means you can be 100% sure of its excellence and value. What is a certificate? A diamond certificate is a report prepared by a team of gemologists. The diamond is evaluated, measured and scrutinized by trained eyes in laboratory conditions. A diamond grading certificate includes an analysis of the diamond’s dimensions, clarity, colour, polish, symmetry and other characteristics. 365-diamond do not buy diamonds that have been enhanced with heat treatment, colour adjustment or laser drilled with foreign materials. 365-diamond’s certificated diamonds have been independently certified by GIA, IGI, HRD or EGL who are worldwide, independent diamond grading laboratories. Each diamond comes with a 30 day, no quibble, money back guarantee. We offer the lowest prices for independently certified diamonds anywhere in the UK and online. Call us on Tel: 01543 481 175 if you need urgent advice on buying quality diamonds/rings online. |

How quickly will my application be processed?
If your online application is received between 9am and 8pm, Monday to Friday (excluding Bank & Public holidays), 9am and 6pm on Saturday, or 10am and 5pm on Sunday then in the majority of cases, you will receive a decision within a matter of minutes. If you submit your application outside of these hours, then you will likely receive a response the next working day. You will be sent an email to confirm the status of your application as soon as it has been processed.
Once my application is approved, what happens next?
Within minutes of your application being approved, you'll be sent via email, a link to your credit agreement, which can be easily downloaded. Alternatively, you can request for a printed out, hard copy of your agreement to be posted to you. All agreements are supported with a copy of the terms and conditions. Once downloaded/received, you'll need to read the agreement carefully, then sign and return it to our finance company. Note that products will not be allocated to your order until your completed and signed agreement is returned and received. Shipment of your goods will follow as soon as your agreement has been returned to our finance company (usually on the same day).
Will you credit score me and if so, what does this mean?
Credit scoring is the process used by financial services companies to evaluate the credit risk of new applicants. This technique will be applied to your application for online finance. Credit scoring works by awarding points for each answer given on the application form such as age, income and occupation, together with information obtained from credit reference agencies. This information allows us to produce consistent decisions, ensuring all our applicants are treated fairly. Credit scoring does not discriminate on the grounds of sex, race, religion, disability or colour.
If you decline/refuse my application, what is the reason?
In addition to credit scoring, confirmation of your identity, validation of certain application details, existing commitments and information held at the credit reference agencies are all taken into account. Though you will not be provided with a main reason for decline of your application, it is usually based on one, or a combination of the following:
- Your credit score (note that every finance company will score you differently)
- Adverse credit reference agency information
- You are considered to be overcommitted
- You are aged under 18
- Your existing account performance with other lenders
What type of information do credit reference agencies hold about me?
Some of the information is public information, for example electoral roll, County Court Judgements and bankruptcies. Other lenders may also file information about accounts you hold with them for instance this could include your payment history and outstanding balance on these accounts. Any requests for credit, where a credit reference search has been undertaken, will also be filed, although the result of the request is not recorded.
How do I obtain a copy of this information?
You should send a cheque for £2, made payable to the relevant company, together with details of all addresses at which you have lived over the last 6 years:
Experian Limited
PO Box 8000
Nottingham
NG1 5GX
Equifax
Department 1E
PO Box 3001
Glasgow G81 2DT
You can also find out more about credit decisions by visiting the above companies' websites: http://www.experian.co.uk/,http://www.equifax.co.uk/ and http://www.callcredit.co.uk/ the above listed agencies will provide details of information relating via these addresses. If you believe that the information is incorrect, you can ask the agency to correct it.
Who is my finance actually with?
We source the best value finance products from providers who excel in their customer service. Your finance agreement will be with one of the UK's leading finance houses.
If my application is not successful, can I re-apply?
Yes. We acknowledge that your circumstances change and just because a previous application has been refused, it does not mean that a further request will be automatically turned down. We do suggest however, that you leave at least 3 months between applications.
Who is eligible to apply for online finance?
To apply for online finance, you must be at least 18 years or older, work at least 16 hours a week, or be retired with an income. You must also be a resident of the United Kingdom and have lived in the UK for the last three years or more. Unfortunately, online finance cannot be offered to residents of Eire. Homemakers aren't excluded from application under their own names; however the employment details of your spouse will be required in order to process your application.
Can I request delivery to an address other than my home?
In order to safeguard against fraudulent applications, we regret that we're able only to deliver goods to the home address of the applicant.
Can I change my order in part or whole after applying for online finance?
To ensure your chosen products are correctly delivered to you, if you need to change your order in anyway, it will be necessary to cancel your order and re-key it as if it were new. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. If you've already received confirmation of approval for online finance via 365 Diamond, by the time you decide to change your order, then the decision will stand from your original application so long as the order value has not increased. If however, you then go on to make subsequent orders funded via online finance, and then each will be treated as a new application and will be processed in the normal way.
Are the goods I’ve ordered set aside for me until the approval process is complete?
Our system is such that goods are allocated to your order only when your completed and signed agreement is received back. This means there's a small chance that the product you ordered may be sold out by the time your agreement is received. To avoid disappointment, we recommend minimising any delay by completing and returning the agreement as soon as you can.
What products can I not buy with online finance?
What if I still need assistance after reading the information in this section?
Simply contact us via our contact page detailing the nature of your enquiry. A customer services advisor or a member of our online finance team will get back to you as soon as possible with an answer to your question.
There is little doubt that diamonds are amongst the most attractive naturally occurring stones that the world has ever discovered. When the first ones were uncovered in some far flung corner of the world the reaction of these pioneers was unprecedented and led to the utilisation of these wonderful stones as we know them today. Although we mainly associate these gems with jewellery the vast majority of them are not considered to be of sufficient quality to be used as a centre piece for diamond rings and other pieces of jewellery. Diamonds are the hardest substance on earth which makes them ideal for a number of industrial uses and are particularly useful in the manufacture of quality cutting tools and equipment. Regarding the jewellery industry, the most popular choices are colourless but as most have a light tint of yellow or perhaps brown many people actually request yellow stones, these yellow stones are commonly available and have become increasingly popular in modern times. The rise in popularity of this type of gem is probably down to the rareness and the expense of perfectly clear stones without a hint of colour. Very occasionally diamonds are found which are red, blue or green or appearance, these are very expensive rarities and usually find their way to an ultra rich person's personal collection or become a show piece at world renowned precious stone showcases and exhibitions. It is estimated that only 20% of mined diamonds are used in rings and other jewellery.
Our diamond rings are designed and crafted to the highest possible standards and we are sure you will not find a more dedicated specialist in this niche sector. The value of the stones set in our platinum engagement rings is gauged by the industry standard evaluation system known as "the fours c's", colour, cut, clarity and carat. The colour of the diamond used is usually graded on an alphabetical scale ranging from D to Y, with grade D being a bright white gemstone and the rare grade Z a deeply coloured stone in perhaps red, green or blue which are often mistaken for other gemstones by the casual observer The cut aspect refers to the way the stone is cut prior to its setting on a piece of jewellery, brilliant cut is the most popular as this cut is generally regarded as bringing out the best in the stone although individual tastes may dispute this opinion. The cutting aspect is an extremely specialised discipline within the jewellery industry as the smallest error can greatly decrease the value of the stone. Clarity is graded on the size and noticeable flaws; this obviously affects the price significantly. Carat refers to the weight of the stone and price varies depending on the availability of the stone. For example a one carat stone would not automatically be twice the price of a ½ carat stone as the 1 carat gemstone is much rarer than the ½ carat but in most cases no less exquisite.
The time honoured tradition of confirming a future wedding date by way of an engagement is well documented and date back to ancient times. From ancient Rome to the land of the Gaul's little has changed except the materials used and the craftsmanship employed. What started as a symbolic gesture with the exchange of a simple iron ring has progressed considerably over the years and although the sentiment remains the same the iron rings have been replaced by diamond rings. It is said that Diamonds were arguably first discovered in India around 700 B.C. and quickly captured the attention of the upper echelons of world society. These people were said to be particularly impressed with not only the appearance but also the hardness of the stone, the name diamond comes from the Greek/Latin word meaning impenetrable or unconquerable. These unrivalled qualities did not enter the pre-matrimonial arena until approximately the 15th century and were only within the reach of the fabulously wealthy then. Stones discovered in South America increased the available supply and brought the price down considerably and although not within reach of the average person they were becoming more affordable, the rings from this period were very ornate with crowned hearts and elegant floral arrangements amongst the most popular. The reason for the increased popularity of diamond engagement rings and similar jewellery in modern times could perhaps be in part attributed to the wealth created by the advent of the industrial revolution.
There are many firms in operation especially on the internet who claim to be leaders in the manufacture and design of quality diamond rings but in fact are not. The internet like any advertising medium is open to abuse and companies and individuals with limited credentials can take advantages of this essentially restriction free market place. Before parting with any money we recommend that you check your potential suppliers' credentials extremely carefully, reputable companies will only be too happy to share testimonials from previously satisfied customers with you. People often ask us how we are able to supply quality engagement rings at such affordable prices, the answer is simple, the manufacture and design of our quality jewellery is done onsite by our own staff, we have the necessary skills and experience to perform these specialist tasks ourselves so have no need to outsource and incur additional expenses, we then pass these substantial savings onto you, the customer. We not only pride ourselves on the quality of our craftsmanship and our products but also the level of customer service we provide.
