"Take home our jewelry, have it appraised, then pay us."

That's right! Shiva's is so confident of their jewelry's unsurpassed quality and value that they shall let you go home with it, have it appraised, and send them payment after you are completely satisfied. If for any reason you are not satisfied, simply ship it back to our office in New York or Los Angeles.

Shiva pioneered the concept of allowing customers to take a jewelry item home, have it appraised, and settle the balance. Accordingly, although the jewelry has to be declared for visitors from the U.S. upon return, duty is not payable until the purchase is completed.

"If you don't know jewelry, know your jeweler!"
