I canceled the order on Friday, March 17th. I was told via email I should expect the money back in my account in "a couple of business days". I called the following Tuesday just to make sure everything was good to go since it is a pretty large sum of money. They informed me I would be receiving a cheque in the mail. I told them I was told it would be sent back to me, the woman said we need the wire information to do that. I asked why I wasn't told this when I initially canceled, she said she didnt know. I provided her all the information required on that same day. The following Monday (6 days later) I called my bank since the money wasn't appearing in my account yet and they said they did indeed receive the funds. It worked out to $27,047.68 CAD. I was shocked that $1519. 32 was missing form the amount.
I called Allurez to ask what happened to my money. They explained to me that they sent back the exact amount in US funds that they received from me. Meaning they expected me (as the customer) to cover the spread of the conversion rate. I explained that I was invoiced in CAD and had sent CAD and so I expected to receive back my money in CAD - the exact amount I had sent. After speaking to a regular customer service person I said I wanted to speak to a manager to get this resolved.
A woman by the name of * was put on the phone. She was rude, unhelpful, and completely unsympathetic. I explained to her that because I was invoiced in CAD and sent CAD I expected the money back - the full amount. All she offered was to send a screen shot of the transfer as proof she sent back the full amount they received. I once again explained to her I was invoiced and paid in CAD. She told me she was "sure her customer service rep would have told me to send US funds because they are well trained". I explained that I was never told that. She told me she would bet her life on it. I told her I would bet her $1520 CAD if she went back and listened to the recordings of the call they would show I was never told that. And if I was wrong she could keep the money but if I was write she had to send me back the rest of the money. She did not take my bet. Through this whole ordeal she did not express one iota of sympathy for my situation. It is pretty jarring to just have $1520 go missing, and for her not to care at all just compounded my frustration.
I posted an online review and the CEO of the company promptly called me to ask me to take the review down as he said he would handle the situation. Well - he emailed me back two days later with no solution whatsoever. So now I guess I am expected to eat this $1520 cost for something I never even had in my possession.
I would never recommend anyone shop at Allurez. They are SCAMMERS.
Edit: Allurez has tried to claim to the Better Business Bureau that I was not a real customer to get rid of my complaint. I provided the necessary documents proving I was indeed a customer and I did indeed lose $1,519.68 in doing business with Allurez. They have also attempted to get my reviews removed from more than one review site again saying I wasn't a real customer.
Edit 2: They again tried to have my reviews removed saying I identified an employee by name. I have edited out the employees name.
Edit 3: Allurez emailed me after a year of denying I was ever a customer and told me they would pay me the money I am owed, but only if I take down the reviews. I declined because I do not think I should have to lie on behalf of Allurez to get my money back

Seriously? Sounds like they work in a back closet, answering phones & writing down cc #s, while one person has one laptop to run the card through your bank! I had to call repeatedly just to get a Return Label. Then same to get status of receiving my exchange - which they NEVER confirmed. Then same to TRY to get someone to advise of status. I spoke w/Yoselin and Eleanor many times. No one EVER called me back. This co. Could COMPLETELY CARE LESS after THEY GET YOUR MONEY. Weeks had gone by at this point. One day a box shows up. I haven't opened it yet, as I'm deciding if I'm just going to return it altogether. The ONLY reason I even gave it this much effort was cuz my husband had picked it out for me. They do NOT care about customers ONE BIT! Please read all of the other negative comments my husband and I have now found. My husband is SO mad he didn't before shopping here.
Hang up on you. Do not respond to emails or calls. Will tell you anything they can to get you off the phone without resolution. Agents are completely unprofessional. One customer service agent ridiculed my wife for wearing her ring while washing dishes and that is part of why we are having this issue.
I contacted them right away to return the ring. Their CS person immediately recommend to do exchange, but I didnt want to deal with hassle of returning another ring I was unhappy with. However, I purchased ring on 1/3/18, it was back in their warehouse on 1/16/18, but Allurez refused and are still refusing to issue refund, stating that ring shows extreme signs of wear. I wonder how a supposedly 14k gold diamond ring, can show such extreme signs of wear in such a short time?
I have been dealing with them for almost 2 months now, and they still have to either return the ring or issue the refund.
Do more research on this company and you will see more reviews like mine. They track you down and contact websites to have your negative reviews removed. The positive reviews are most likely by their friends and family, or are paid for. After dealing with them, and only purchasing one item from them, there is no way I would shop with them again. I strongly believe they will stay in business only for as long as they can hide bad reviews, once the customers get smarter, and they no longer can fake the reviews, they are out of business, as no sane or ethical person can deal with company like Allurez.com.
We designed our ring at Allurez which makes it extremely unique. Another jewelry store would have charged us many times over the price we paid and I honestly do not think it would have turned out as nice as the Allurez ring.
Thank you so much to the entire Allurez team!
I refused to pay more and asked the company to honor the price as Allurez already had taken my money. The company offered to replace the center canary diamond with a sapphire for my troubles advising its typically more than I paid. Shopping around this appears not to be accurate.
This whole experience was awful and makes me suspicious as to this being a bait and hook tactic type business.
They refused to refund the 8% credit and only offered a store credit. This is apparently the way they do business. So be careful.
Also the necklace itself was much smaller than pictured online.
Prviously explained in my review.
After, 6 weeks the bracelet shipped, but they shipped it to the wrong shipping address, they shipped it to the original address not mine which I confirmed they would ship it to. When the package was opened, the bracelet was missing a diamond, shipped it back to Allurez.
After another + month Allurez shipped the bracelet again, this time to my street address, but in the wrong city. I finally got the bracelet 6 months after I originally ordered it. I no longer wanted the bracelet, but per Allurez I only had 30 days from the original purchase delivery date to return the bracelet. I have not had this bracelet for a total of 30 days in the last 6 months, but that did not matter to Allurez.
While I think the bracelet looks beautiful, my daughter is afraid to wear it for fear that it will break. So if you like to just look at your jewelry and not wear it, by all means purchase from Allurez. However if you ever would like to wear for jewelry, buy if from someone else.

The ring arrived after several weeks, but with no invoice or documentation. I don't mean an appraisal - but a document stating what was purchased. Even my least expensive jewelry was sent with a certificate of authenticity stating the kind of stones and the carat weights and clarity.
As for the ring - the sapphire was much darker than the one pictured on the website. I thought it would look better in the light, and immediately saw a large inclusion in the sapphire. It resembled a crack and went all the way across the stone. I immediately emailed customer service and sent close-up images. I also inquired about returning the ring for a refund, since this was a *$4000* ring and was supposed to be a AAA quality, eye-clean sapphire.
Many emails, days, weeks, and even more tears went by, and finally, Allurez offered to swap out the center sapphire with a different stone. I reluctantly accepted this option. Allurez requires ground shipping, and with insurance, that costs a minimum $100 each way. I now know, after shopping with a different sapphire company this expense was completely unnecessary. But eventually, Allurez sent a prepaid shipping label and I sent the ring back for a new sapphire.
Several weeks went by, and I received the ring a second time. Immediately upon opening the box I could see the sapphire was only marginally better than the first one. It was dull, dark, but mostly it was noticeably not well-polished. The facet edges were visibly and tangibly rough, and had little pits. The setting was also poorly done and had crooked prongs holding the sapphire that felt very sharp and snag-prone.
I was having some other jewelry professionally cleaned and stones tightened at a local estate jeweler, and decided to have this ring evaluated while I was there. I did not tell them the ring was new, where I bought it, what I suspected about it, or how much I paid for it. I simply asked for a professional opinion. The jeweler assumed I was looking have it repaired. He looked at the ring through his scope and said he would not sell a ring in that condition. He saw the rough edges on the sapphire (I can't remember the technical word he used, something about cut marks) and said the sapphire would need to be re-polished and reset to correct the sharp and crooked prongs. He also said the diamonds that were supposed to be SI1 or SI2 were "heavily included", and that the appraisal value would likely come back in the $1500 range. I said nothing other than to thank him, and left.
I then spent several more weeks going 'round and 'round with Allurez about refunding my money for this inferior piece of jewelry. But the Allurez rep claimed that the jeweler I visited lied about the ring in order to get me to return it and shop with them - indicating Allurez thought I had lied about what I shared about the ring with the jeweler. I was shocked and angered that an Allurez customer service person would even suggest this or make that allegation.
It's too late to make this a long-story-short, but I finally received a refund for the ring. That said, I had to pay to send the ring back so I am still out $100 in shipping costs, not to mention the weeks and weeks of stress.
This experience has left me feeling that this company is quite shady. No certificate of authenticity means they can tell you the stone is natural, un-enhanced, "eye-clean","AAA", "SI1/SI2", but send something else. And if you're not satisfied with your purchase, their return/refund policy is anything but easy or hassle-free. And, it is expensive. If you choose to shop with Allurez, I highly recommend you have anything you purchase evaluated by a third party as soon as you receive it. Or better yet, just shop somewhere else.
Without confirmation of approval. Tried to contact customer Allurez customer services on many occasions to discuss but to no avail. All this aside we decided to adjust the piece here in the uk only to receive a £90 import tax and legal action from Fed Ex some 2 months later!
Again tried to contact Allurez customer service to discuss but have only had a lot of disjointed replies assuring me that I'd be contacted soon and wasn't.
Can't believe the lack in customer care this company has failed to provide.
We are now stuck with a bracelet that doesn't fit, wasn't finished to my request and cost $150 more than advertised. Such a disappointment! UK BUYERS BE WARNED!
I sent the ring back to them on Aug 1st, 2021, to be resized from 8 to 5.5. I also spoke with CS at that time as well and wanted to see about upgrading the center diamond. We picked out the next diamond that everything was set to go. You all received the ring, did the upgrade, and returned it to me. Upon seeing the new ring, I quickly realized the ring had not been resized as it was supposed to. I contacted your customer service department through email and phone ASAP and explained the situation. I spoke with Blaze first and he stated he was very sorry for the inconvenience, but he would get an overnight label to me right away before the end of the day and I could ship it back. I asked him how long it would take for the repairs to get done and when I would have my ring back. He stated "We should be able to expedite it and have it back by the end of the week. This was on Tuesday Aug 17th. On Thursday the 19th I still had not received the overnight shipping label, so I emailed again to find out what was going on. I received the label that day and was able to ship it overnight. I followed up with them all over the phone on Tuesday to make sure you had received the ring, which you had on Friday. I asked the girl I spoke with the ETA on my ring. She stated the ring had already been inspected and completed and expected to go out on Tuesday or Wednesday and would be back to me by the end of the week. In the meantime, Xxxxxx had emailed me to let me know the ring had been received and was currently in process and should be shipped by next week. So now I was getting two different stories. I decided to wait a few days and see if it shipped. It didn't ship and by Friday I called again. This time I left a voicemail. Since I have a 3 hours difference. It was 6:30am my time in Arizona and I received a call back at 1:30pm that day. The girl I spoke with stated my ring was not completed and it was currently being inspected I believe still. I explained the situation to the girl and that I was becoming really frustrated with how the situation was being handled. Every time I called in, I was getting a different answer, and no one really knew what was going on with my ring. I asked at this time to speak with the manager or a supervisor. She stated everyone had gone home for the weekend and there was nothing else she could do for me. She said she would put in a request for someone to call me early next week. I told her I would be following up again on Monday. I called again early afternoon Monday to try and speak with a manager. Again, I was told there was no one in the office, but a request could be put in for me. Advised the person, a request should have been put in on Friday for me and she stated, nothing had been sent. I emailed Xxxxx again to let her know what was going on and that I was very unhappy with how everything was being handled and a) I wanted a manager to call me and b) I wanted a refund or some compensation for all of this. XXXXXX wrote me back and stated she was sorry for the delay, but she would have someone contact me. Blaze sent me an email the next day, asking when a good time for a manager would be to call me. We arranged for Thursday@ 9:00 am my time. I explained to him I had to go to work at 9:30am so Allurez needed to call on time. He said that worked perfectly for your company. In the meantime, my ring was still not completed or had been shipped back to me. I was told it would go out Wednesday or Thursday and would be back to me by Friday. Thursday at 9:00am rolls around, no call. So, at 9:15am I tried to call in a few different times and was sent to voicemail. I emailed both Blaze and Sheli to find out what was going on and was told Oh sorry for the miscommunication, but something came up and management wasn't calling me. They gave me a $50 store credit and a necklace for the inconvenience. This isn't good enough. I wrote Xxxx back again and asked where my ring was as it is now Friday and still no update or shipping notification. XXXX stated my ring had been damaged during the resize and a few stones had been cracked and was delayed again. Worst experience ever. Now I'm trying to get a refund!
