PRIVACY POLICY

Returns & Exchanges

  • We offer exchanges or store credit within 7 days of receipt of purchase. We do not provide refunds. 
  • All returns and exchanges require approval. Approved exchanges are accepted for items purchased on Ephod.shop only. We do not refund for the cost of shipping, unless we have sent an item in error.
  • Store credits can be used for purchases on Ephod.shop or a customized version of an item on our website. We do not accept store credits for   revamp or bridal projects.
  • To protect our jewelry and the returned package, we will issue a Return Label to the customer to make sure your package is insured for its full purchase value. Items for exchange will be inspected before being accepted. Exchanges and store credits will be processed for accepted items, excluding original and return shipping fees. Merchandise should be returned in its original condition, with the original Ephod box and pouch.
  • Due to the variations in size, all rings ordered online are considered special orders and are subject to a 15% restocking fee if an exchange is requested or if you request to cancel a ring that is still in production.
  • Engraved or embossed products, custom, and personalized products (including initials, lettering, birthstones and custom sizes) are FINAL SALE and cannot be returned or exchanged for store credit.
  • Any variation in size, color or customization that is not available for “as-is” purchase on our website is considered a custom order and is FINAL SALE.
  • Merchandise showing signs of wear, resizing, or damage in any way will not be accepted and will be returned to the sender (at the sender's expense).

Ephod reserves the right to refuse an exchange/repair of any purchase made that does not meet the above requirements.

This policy only applies to purchases made at ephod.com or our official sellers.
