Jewelry Webguard™

Consumer protection has long been a high priority in the jewelry industry, and the growth of Internet trading offers new challenges. EGL USA's unique Jewelry Webguard™ service protects consumers as well as gem dealers in their online transactions.

When you buy a certified stone online, ask the seller to ship it with the certificate to the nearest EGL USA office. Our lab will provide a third-party endorsement that the stone and its certificate match and will issue a Jewelry Webguard™ certificate. EGL USA then ships the stone, its original certificate and the new Jewelry Webguard™ certificate to you, the buyer. The fee is $35.

Some insurance companies will not cover shipping between a dealer and a consumer without a third-party endorsement. The Jewelry Webguard™ service protects both parties in the transaction.
