─── Why Altered Carbon ───
The Altered Carbon has mastered the craft of fine jewelry, setting the standard in the industry with its unparalleled warranty and service program. Our dedication to excellence ensures that each piece reflects our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction, making us a leader in the jewelry world.
Quality
At The Altered Carbon, we maintain our own manufacturing facility to guarantee the highest quality in every piece we produce. Each item is meticulously handcrafted by our artisan jewelry design team, who together bring over 150 years of combined experience in fine jewelry craftsmanship. We use only premium metals and certified diamonds in all of our rings. Our stringent quality control process follows ethical standards, ensuring that each piece is thoroughly inspected before it reaches the jeweler. Every stone is carefully examined by our in-house expert gemologists. Drawing inspiration from diverse artistic and cultural influences worldwide, our collaboration between designers and manufacturers turns raw materials into extraordinary works of art. We take pride in our craft, creating exquisite jewelry just for you.
Identification Number
The Altered Carbon has implemented an advanced inventory tracking system for every jewelry piece we produce and ship to our retail partners or customers. Each item is assigned a unique, laser-inscribed serial number, which becomes traceable once registered online with proof of purchase. This serial number allows us to track the piece through a detailed 26-step process, including identifying the designer, the source of the diamonds, gemstones, and metals, the quality control checks, and the shipment and purchase details. Through our warranty program, we can trace the ownership of every piece, providing peace of mind in case of an accident or loss, ensuring both security and global ownership tracking.
Authorized Retailers
The Altered Carbon has established a vast network of professional, independent jewelers who share our core values of integrity and professionalism. Each The Altered Carbon Authorized Retailer is committed to delivering exceptional service and expert guidance to customers seeking our fine jewelry. These trusted partners are respected members of their communities, known for offering unmatched customer care. With over 1,200 locations nationwide, customers can rest assured that any The Altered Carbon registered piece can be serviced, regardless of where it was originally purchased.
Shop With Confidence
The Altered Carbon provides customers with the option to exchange their engagement ring within one year of purchase for another ring of equal or greater value.
