Questions shoppers ask
Which brand of jewelry has the best warranty?
On paper, Brilliant Earth scores highest, with 2 months of full coverage and longer coverage on some parts. Pandora covers everything longest, at 2 years.
Is a long warranty on jewelry really that long?
Often not for the whole product. Many longer warranties cover only certain parts after the first year or two, and you usually pay for the labor. The bars above show full and partial coverage separately.
Do I need to register to get the warranty?
None of the 11 brands require registration for their basic coverage. Registering can still get you recall notices. Keep your receipt either way.
Forward the receipt and I-BUY.AI tracks the return window and warranty for you.
