Products, Pricing and Cancellations
John Brereton Jewellers makes all reasonable efforts to represent products as accurately as possible through descriptions and imagery.

Conflict Diamonds
John Brereton Jewellers only purchase diamonds through respected suppliers who adhere to the standards of the Kimberley Process. This is an international system that fights to ensure the diamond trade is free from sources of conflict.
Comparison Purchasing
This process is not allowed which in turn allows us to keep our prices low. Comparison purchasing means buying several of one item such as a diamond and only keeping the preferred choice so that the rest can be returned. The inventory overhead and restocking involved in this can be very costly. Please do get in touch with us so that we can help you make the right choice the first time around.

Payments on John Brereton Jewellers can be made with all major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard and Maestro. Payments under €15,000 will be accepted through Paypal. Payments by bank wire is also possible. Please contact us at info@johnbreretonjewellers.ie for these details.
