Gemtime Jewellers have produced three brochures to assist customers
with the identification and care of jewellery. These are located in the
Resources section of this website, and can be viewed as PDF files using
Adobe Acrobat Reader by clicking on the leaflet of your choice in the
“Gemtime Leaflets” pull-down menu.
FREE copies of these leaflets will be mailed to you upon request, anywhere within New Zealand, which you can arrange by clicking here and sending a “Customer Contact Form” containing your request.
Apart from these leaflets, our 'Resources' section offers a good range of useful information to help you make fully informed decisions about your jewellery purchase.
Also,
if you can’t find the answers that you are looking for in our website,
please feel encouraged to contact any of our Gemtime Jeweller stores
with your enquiry. We are happy to help whenever we can.

Our Gemtime Jeweller stores offer a comprehensive range of jewellery, watches, clocks, giftware, and related products. Each Gemtime Jeweller store is not bound by some regimental prescriptive stock policy like some retail jewellery chain stores, so each individual store owner has the ability to identify exactly what “their” customers are looking for in “their” respective local market, and therefore offer a mix of products which is specifically tailored to meet their customers’ needs.
You will find jewellery products in the following sections of this website. All prices shown are stated in New Zealand Dollars (NZD$), and include GST.

Gemtime Jewellers produce regular National Promotions to highlight special pieces of jewellery and related products, at competitive prices.

A Gemtime customer is entitled to return goods:
- where there is a defect in the goods of a substantial nature
- where a Gemtime store owner fails to remedy a defect.
Note: A "defect" is any aspect of an item or service that is not of acceptable quality.
However,
a Gemtime customer cannot reject the defective goods whenever they want
to. Instead, the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act requires customers
to reject the goods within a "reasonable time" from purchase.
Please
be aware that it is the intention of the issuing Gemtime Jeweller store
to pass on any customs duty that is applied to an item that has been
returned for repair or replacement by an overseas customer, when it is
determined by the store owner that either:
a)
The suggested fault is found to be caused by the customer and is not
covered by provisions of the NZ Consumer Guarantees Act, or
b)
The reason given for replacement or rejection is in fact not able to be
validated and cannot be aligned to qualifying circumstances as defined
by the NZ Consumer Guarantees Act.

will consider an appropriate exchange of product, providing that:

- The
exchange involves substituting a replacement product of the same
essential specifications as the original item - unless otherwise agreed
between the store owner/ manager and the customer.
- The
request for exchange of product is not simply made at the whim of the
customer, wanting to exchange a newly purchased item for the sake of
making the exchange.
- The customer
is liable for all freight (or other) costs incurred in the exchange
process, unless the supplied products are defective.
Please
be aware that it is the intention of the issuing Gemtime Jeweller store
to charge any overseas customer, the relevant customs duty that is
applied to an item that has been returned for repair or replacement,
when it is determined by the store owner that either:
a)
The suggested fault is found to be caused by the customer and is not
covered by provisions of the NZ Consumer Guarantees Act, or
b)
The reason given for replacement or rejection is in fact not able to be
validated and cannot be aligned to qualifying circumstances as defined
by the NZ Consumer Guarantees Act.
IMPORTANT NOTE - All products should be returned EXCLUSIVELY by either:
- Registered mail or

...with
all the related tracing documentation completed at the time, and
advised to the relevant Gemtime Jeweller store on the day that the
