From time to time, Amazon may request, source, or purchase products sold in the Jewelry category for quality assurance testing. Amazon may submit those products to an independent, accredited jewelry testing laboratory for thorough quality testing. Amazon may also require Jewelry suppliers to work with certain designated laboratories for quality testing. The products will be tested for conformance with the Amazon product description at the time of request or purchase, as well as for compliance with Amazon Jewelry Quality Assurance Standards. Amazon may return any items it purchases for these purposes to the applicable sellers.
Amazon will contact sellers if their jewelry fails quality testing. Depending on the number of products that fail testing and the severity and type of failures, Amazon may take further actions, including (but not limited to) working with the seller on a remedial plan to address the underlying cause of failures, returning some or all inventory purchased from the seller at the seller's expense and suspending or terminating a seller's ability to sell in the Jewelry category or on Amazon.
