My experience with ARDANT’s return and refund process was confusing, expensive, and inconsistent with how it is marketed.

I purchased two pairs of earrings. One pair broke within 10 days during normal use while following ARDANT’s own guidance that the earrings are “malleable.” Because worn or damaged items are not eligible for return, that pair resulted in a complete financial loss.

The second pair was unworn and returned in its original packaging, yet it still did not receive a full refund. I paid $10 for outbound shipping at checkout (this was not free shipping), paid again to return the item ($7.45 for USPS Grnd Advtg), and then had my item refund reduced by an additional $10.

For a $70 unworn item, the refund (yet to be issued) is $60. ARDANT framed the waived 10% restocking fee ($7) on the $70 item as a “goodwill gesture," but the additional $10 shipping deduction effectively replaced that fee. In practice, this functions as a hidden penalty for returns that is not clearly disclosed upfront.

If $70 is the item price and $10 is a separate, non-refundable shipping fee already paid by the customer, the refund should be $70, not $60.

The return process was also labeled “personalized,” but was unusually tedious. It required handwritten reference numbers, printed labels, strict packaging rules, and emailed tracking, all falling on the customer. Failure to follow every step can result in the return not being processed.

Reps were polite, but it did not feel like the core concerns were meaningfully addressed. Responses largely repeated policy language without resolving the confusing refund logic.

Prospective customers should be aware that even returning an unworn, undamaged item can result in out-of-pocket losses after paying outbound shipping, return shipping, and additional deductions. This does not align with what most people would reasonably expect from a “hassle-free” return policy.

First, it took weeks to receive my order. I even received an email stating my order had been delivered when it had not.
Second, when I finally received my order I was very disappointed. The Swerve Moissanite Hoops are ridiculously tiny! They're so small I cannot get them to 'swerve' around my earlobes so I can't wear them.

I am trying to initiate a return in the appropriate amount of time and I am not receiving any kind of response from the company. This is extremely poor customer service!
Sorry that I ever made a purchase from this company.
