You will find details of the item's warranty on the relevant product page under additional information. We provide the official international manufacturer's warranty for branded watches and branded jewellery. This is at least 24 months. Individual brands or products sometimes have a significantly longer warranty. CHRISTIAN brand jewellery is guaranteed for 24 months.

A watch's warranty generally covers manufacturing and material defects, including the movement, hands, dial, crown and sometimes the case. However, it does not cover damage resulting from incorrect use, lack of care (see our maintenance tips), accidents or normal wear and tear (e.g. straps, batteries, etc.).

Yes, all the products we sell are original and 100% new. They are purchased directly from the respective manufacturer.

Information on water resistance is indicated for each watch in the product information. Here you can find the detailed meaning of the various specifications and the water activities you can do with your watch: www.uhrenschmuck24.ch/wasserdichtigkeit

18 carat gold contains 75% pure gold, which gives it an intense, warm yellow colour that radiates elegance. In comparison, 14 carat gold, with 58.5% pure gold, has a slightly lighter, more restrained yellow colour. In white gold, 14 carat appears brighter and more radiant, while 18 carat has a softer, subtle lustre. In rose gold, 14 carat stands out with a more intense shade of pink, while 18 carat is characterised by a softer, more restrained shade of red.

All CHRISTIAN diamond jewellery is sent with a certificate of authenticity indicating that our diamonds are natural and extracted from conflict-free sources.
CHRISTIAN gold jewellery and silver jewellery do not come with a certificate. The responsibility label (CGZ stamp) on the piece of jewellery is sufficient to indicate that it was produced by CHRISTIAN AG. The gold quality is indicated by the symbol 750 or 585. The silver quality is indicated by the symbol 925.

CHRISTIAN diamonds and gemstones are natural. They come from conflict-free sources and meet the strictest international standards.
