Mauhurtika – Return, Replacement & Refund Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

At Mauhurtika, every gemstone and spiritual product is carefully selected and, where applicable, handcrafted. Natural gemstones are unique geological products and may naturally vary in colour, clarity, texture, inclusions, shape and appearance.

Due to the valuable, delicate and natural nature of our products, Mauhurtika follows a verification-based Return, Replacement & Refund Policy.

Please read this policy carefully before placing your order.


1. Return & Replacement Eligibility

Mauhurtika does not offer general returns or refunds for change of mind, personal preference, or dissatisfaction with the natural appearance of a gemstone.

A return, replacement or refund claim may be considered in the following circumstances:

  • The product is verified to have been physically damaged during transit.
  • An incorrect product has been delivered.
  • A product or component is missing from the shipment.
  • A gemstone represented as natural is proven to be synthetic, artificial or lab-created.
  • The product is materially different from the product or specifications represented on the website.
  • Any other remedy is required under applicable law.

Submitting a claim does not automatically mean that a return, replacement or refund has been approved.

All claims are subject to evidence, verification and, where necessary, physical inspection.


2. Mandatory Unboxing Video

For claims relating to:

  • Transit damage
  • Incorrect product
  • Missing product
  • Damaged packaging
  • Missing components

the customer should provide a continuous and unedited unboxing video.

The video should clearly show:

  • The sealed package
  • Shipping label
  • Complete package before opening
  • Opening of the package
  • Product being removed from the package
  • All items and contents received

The video should not contain cuts, edits, unexplained pauses or gaps.

Claims submitted without adequate unboxing evidence may be rejected where the available evidence is insufficient to establish that the issue existed at the time of delivery.

Mauhurtika may request additional photographs, videos, courier records or other evidence before determining a claim.


3. Reporting Period

Any claim relating to damage, incorrect delivery, missing items or similar delivery-related issues must be reported within 7 calendar days of delivery.

Claims should be submitted to:

[email protected]
[email protected]

Customers should provide:

  • Order number
  • Description of the issue
  • Clear photographs
  • Relevant videos
  • Unboxing video, where applicable

Claims reported after the applicable period may not be accepted, except where a different remedy is required under applicable law.


4. Verification & Physical Inspection

All return, replacement, refund and authenticity claims are subject to verification by Mauhurtika.

Photographs, videos or customer statements alone do not constitute final confirmation of:

  • A product defect
  • Transit damage
  • A gemstone fracture
  • Product quality
  • Authenticity
  • Product mismatch

Where necessary, the product must be returned to Mauhurtika for physical inspection before a refund or other remedy is approved.

A refund is not automatically issued merely because a customer reports a defect or requests a refund.

Mauhurtika will review the available evidence, product condition, dispatch records and other relevant information before determining the appropriate resolution.


5. Natural Gemstone Characteristics

Natural gemstones are geological materials and may naturally contain:

  • Natural inclusions
  • Growth characteristics
  • Internal features
  • Colour zoning
  • Natural lines or patterns
  • Minor surface characteristics
  • Variations in colour
  • Variations in clarity
  • Variations in shape
  • Variations in texture

Such natural characteristics are not automatically considered defects.

Differences between product photographs and the actual gemstone caused by lighting, photography, screen settings or natural variation do not constitute a defect.

A customer's preference regarding the natural appearance of a gemstone does not constitute a valid return or refund reason.

However, a verified fracture, chip, breakage or structural damage may be considered where evidence establishes that the issue qualifies under this policy.


6. Damage After Delivery & Customer-Caused Damage

Damage occurring after delivery due to customer handling or use is not ordinarily considered transit damage.

This includes damage caused by:

  • Dropping
  • Impact
  • Pressure
  • Improper handling
  • Mishandling
  • Accidental damage
  • Exposure to chemicals
  • Perfume or cosmetics
  • Excessive heat
  • Unsuitable environmental conditions
  • Resizing
  • Alteration
  • Re-cutting
  • Re-polishing
  • Drilling
  • Mounting
  • Removal from jewellery
  • Repair
  • Modification
  • Wearing or using the product contrary to reasonable care instructions

Such damage will generally not qualify for a refund or replacement.

Where the cause of damage cannot reasonably be established from the available evidence, Mauhurtika may require physical inspection before determining the claim.


7. Product Identification & Anti-Tampering

For valuable gemstones and individually identifiable products, Mauhurtika may verify the returned product against its original dispatch records.

Verification may include:

  • Dispatch photographs
  • Product weight
  • Dimensions
  • Shape
  • Colour
  • Gemstone characteristics
  • Certificate details
  • Certificate/report number
  • Tags
  • Packaging
  • Internal product records
  • Other identifying characteristics

The returned product must be the same product originally supplied by Mauhurtika.

Any suspected:

  • Product substitution
  • Stone swapping
  • Tampering
  • Alteration
  • Re-cutting
  • Re-polishing
  • Drilling
  • Unauthorized treatment
  • Certificate replacement
  • Tag replacement

may result in rejection of the claim, subject to applicable law.


8. Condition of Returned Products

Where a return has been approved, the product must be returned:

  • In its original condition
  • Unworn, where applicable
  • Unused, where applicable
  • Untampered
  • Without alteration
  • With the original certificate, where supplied
  • With original tags
  • With original packaging/box, where applicable

Mauhurtika reserves the right to inspect the returned product before approving any refund or replacement.

  • Dislike of gemstone shape
  • Dislike of gemstone size
  • Dislike of natural inclusions
  • Natural variations in colour, clarity, texture or appearance
  • Natural marks or characteristics

This section does not exclude any remedy that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.


10. Customized & Personalized Products

Customized and personalized products are made specifically according to customer instructions.

Once customization, manufacturing, engraving, resizing, mounting or other customer-specific work has commenced, the order generally cannot be cancelled or returned merely due to a change of mind or personal preference.

This includes, where applicable:

  • Customized rings
  • Customized bracelets
  • Personalized jewellery
  • Custom gemstone settings
  • Engraving
  • Resizing
  • Special mounting
  • Custom malas
  • Other made-to-order products

This clause does not exclude any remedy that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.


11. Sale, Clearance & Promotional Products

Products sold under:

  • Clearance sale
  • Special discount
  • Promotional pricing
  • Limited-time offers
  • Final-sale offers

are generally not eligible for commercial returns or refunds due to change of mind or customer preference.

Any applicable statutory rights relating to defective, deficient, incorrect, spurious or otherwise legally actionable products remain unaffected.


12. 100% Authenticity Guarantee

Mauhurtika stands behind the authenticity of gemstones represented by us as natural.

If a gemstone purchased from Mauhurtika is independently established to be synthetic, artificial or lab-created, contrary to the product representation, the customer may submit an authenticity claim.

The claim must be supported by a valid report from a:

  • Government-recognized gemological laboratory;
  • ISO-accredited laboratory; or
  • Internationally recognized professional gemological institute.

The report must clearly identify the submitted gemstone and establish the relevant authenticity issue.

After successful verification of a valid authenticity claim, Mauhurtika will provide the applicable refund/remedy in accordance with this policy and applicable law.

Where the authenticity claim is accepted under this guarantee, Mauhurtika will refund the eligible product amount and applicable return courier charges.

Mauhurtika may require the disputed gemstone to be returned for verification before processing the refund.


13. Treatment & Enhancement

Some natural gemstones may undergo treatments or enhancements commonly used within the gemstone industry.

Where a treatment or enhancement is applicable and disclosed in the product description, certificate or invoice, the disclosed treatment itself shall not constitute a defect.

Customers are advised to review the product description and certificate information before purchasing.


14. Incorrect Product

If Mauhurtika sends an incorrect product, the customer must notify us within 7 calendar days of delivery and provide appropriate evidence, including the unboxing video wherever applicable.

After verification, Mauhurtika will determine the appropriate remedy based on the circumstances, this policy and applicable law.

The incorrect product must be returned in its original condition with its certificate, tags and packaging wherever applicable.


15. Missing Product / Missing Item

If an item or component appears to be missing from the package, the customer must notify Mauhurtika within 7 calendar days of delivery.

The customer may be required to provide:

  • Complete unboxing video
  • Photographs of the package
  • Shipping label
  • Outer packaging
  • All contents received

Mauhurtika may verify the shipment against its packing and dispatch records before determining the claim.


16. Return Shipping

Except where specifically stated otherwise:

  • Mauhurtika does not ordinarily provide reverse pickup.
  • Return shipping is generally the responsibility of the customer.
  • Return shipping charges are refundable only where specifically approved under an applicable refund provision.
  • Customs duties, import taxes, brokerage charges and other government levies are generally non-refundable.

For an accepted authenticity claim covered under the Authenticity Guarantee, applicable return courier charges may be reimbursed subject to verification.


17. Refund Approval

A refund is not automatic merely because a customer requests one.

Where a refund may be applicable, Mauhurtika will first verify:

  1. Whether the claim was reported within the applicable period.
  2. Whether the product falls within an eligible category.
  3. Whether adequate evidence has been provided.
  4. Whether the product is the same product originally dispatched.
  5. Whether the product has been used, altered or tampered with.
  6. Whether physical inspection is required.
  7. Whether the claim qualifies for a refund under this policy and applicable law.

Only after successful verification will an applicable refund be processed.


18. Refund Processing Timeline

Order TypeRefund TimelineRefund Method
Prepaid Orders5–7 business days after refund approvalOriginal payment method
COD Orders10–12 business days after refund approvalNEFT/UPI after verification of bank details
International Orders40–45 days after refund approvalOriginal payment source, subject to applicable deductions

The refund timeline starts after refund approval, not when the customer initially submits a claim.

Actual credit time may depend on the payment gateway, bank, courier, customs authority or other third-party service provider.


19. Refund Deductions

Where legally permissible and applicable to the particular transaction, the refund amount may exclude or account for:

  • Non-refundable shipping charges
  • Return shipping charges
  • Customs duties
  • Import taxes
  • Brokerage charges
  • Payment processing charges
  • Certification charges
  • Customization charges
  • Other actual non-refundable third-party costs

Any applicable deduction will be communicated to the customer.


20. Order Cancellation

Orders may be cancelled before dispatch, subject to the following:

If Mauhurtika has already incurred actual non-refundable costs for:

  • Certification
  • Customization
  • Manufacturing
  • Engraving
  • Special procurement
  • Custom mounting
  • Other customer-specific work

such actual costs may be deducted where legally permissible.

Once an order has been dispatched, cancellation is no longer available and any applicable return or claim will be governed by this policy.


21. International Orders

International customers are responsible for complying with the import requirements of their destination country.

Mauhurtika is not responsible for:

  • Import restrictions
  • Customs delays
  • Import duties
  • Local taxes
  • Brokerage charges
  • Customs clearance issues
  • Refusal of entry by destination authorities

Refunds for international orders, where approved, may be subject to applicable shipping, customs, tax and third-party charges.


22. Store Credit

Where Mauhurtika specifically offers store credit as a resolution, such store credit is not automatically convertible into cash.

A cash refund will be provided only where the particular claim qualifies for a refund under this policy or applicable law.


23. Applicable Consumer Rights

Nothing in this policy is intended to exclude, restrict or waive any consumer right, remedy or protection that cannot legally be excluded under applicable Indian law.

Where applicable law provides a mandatory remedy for a defective, deficient, incorrect, counterfeit, spurious or otherwise legally actionable product, such rights will prevail over any conflicting commercial term in this policy.


24. Claim Determination

Mauhurtika will review each eligible claim based on the available evidence, product condition, dispatch records, certificates and other relevant information.

Where necessary, Mauhurtika may request additional evidence or physical inspection before making a final determination.

A claim will not be considered approved until Mauhurtika confirms the applicable resolution to the customer in writing.
