Return Policy
Our weavers and mineral seekers have made great efforts to provide you with an object of beauty you will treasure for a lifetime. If you find a returnable flaw in your shawl or mineral, it will be accepted for refund or exchange with complimentary shipping and no restocking fee.
Some points to consider before purchasing a handcrafted ZariZar shawl or one of our minerals from the Deccan Plateau:
Color:
Shawls and Minerals:
Our photographs are checked for color accuracy on calibrated monitors before being added to our website. Because most home and business monitors are not color calibrated, there may be some color shift between what you see on your screen and the product you receive.
Natural Variations
Shawls:
Because each shawl is hand-dyed and hand-loomed, there may also be slight variations of color or pattern within an individual shawl and between two shawls woven by the same artisan. Such personal variations, as are found in fine Persian rugs, are what makes each ZariZar shawl a work of art. They should not be considered flaws.
Minerals:
Note that variations in color, crystalline structure, and even type of mineral adhering to a rock surface occur naturally as minerals crystalize over millions of years. Some crystal faces also break when they are harvested from the rocks in which they are embedded. These variations are part of each item’s uniqueness and are not flaws.
Actual Flaws and Damage:
Shawls:
Every shawl is examined for flaws -- a hole, gap in the threads, recurring snags, stains or discolorations – before shipping. If a significant flaw has been overlooked or damage has occurred during packaging and shipping, please read the section on “Conditions for Returns” and then fill out the Return Authorization Request Form.
Minerals:
ZariZar carefully packages each mineral so it can travel safely from the Deccan Plateau to its destined home across the world. However, breakage has been known to occur, especially to the more delicate crystallize structures. You would know that such damage has occurred in travel because the broken pieces of crystal would be in the box. In such a case, please read the section on “Conditions for Returns” and then fill out the Return Authorization Request Form.
