From time to time, Amazon may request, source or purchase products sold in the Jewellery category for quality assurance testing. Amazon may submit those products to an independent, accredited jewellery testing laboratory for thorough quality testing. Amazon may also require Jewellery 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 Jewellery Quality Assurance Standards. Amazon may return any items it purchases for these purposes to the applicable sellers.
Amazon will contact sellers if their jewellery 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 Jewellery category or on Amazon.
