This company has a "Best Price Guarantee" but unfortunately, do not honor it. Found a used BREITLING AEROMARINE CHRONO SUPEROCEAN MEN'S WATCH on their website for $4,130 and sent them a link for the same watch for $2,728 and asked if they would match the lower price. They said that it was now out of stock (even though it is still on their website and said that they only sell watches with diamonds, which was not true in this case. Good luck buying from this company (switch and bait)!
Our website had a listing for a NEW Breitling watch, not used, and you tried to price match it with a used watch listed on some unknown, looks like Chinese website. The watch is out of stock, but even if the watch was in stock we would not be price matching it to the the listing you provided.

I was looking for a solid gold chain for my dad, and Max assisted me through the buying process. We found one that looked very good, and would perfectly fit my dad (had to work out on the budget as well as the width and length of the chain). We decided on a classic cuban link chain 6mm wide. Loved the secure box lock. My dad was so happy when he got it! Thank you guys! You are the best!

So happy I chose to work with them for my wedding band. It came out looking great and I ended up paying less than I thought I would because they have such reasonable pricing, I was able to get a wedding band with diamonds (real diamonds!) for almost the same price my local jewelry store wanted to charge for a plain gold band.

I had ItsHot make several custom rings for my wife. All of them are outstanding pieces of beautiful jewelry that were done right. My wife has strangers and friends alike ask to take pictures of her rings because they look so brilliant. I highly recommend having ItsHot staff help you with your next purchase.

I have been extremely pleased with all of the items I have bought from ItsHot.com over the past few years. That includes 4 pair of diamond earrings (hoops and studs) and two single diamond earrings. I found the customer service to be very receptive and helpful. In particular, Jennifer has been terrific to deal with and very competent and upfront with responses to my questions.

OMG!! I’m in love with their diamond rings collection and especially rings with black diamonds. They’re all so gorgeous that I want to buy all of them!! Time passed by so fast I didn’t even notice that I spent over an hour there, my husband had to come and pick me up himself. Their collection is so stunning I couldn’t keep my eyes off of it. We bought three rings (two for me and one for him) before I was able to leave. Will surely be back!

I purchased a customised dog tag pendant, which had 3 diamond stones placed into the centre of it. Prior to receiving the customised dog tag I wasn’t made aware that the diamond stones would simply be set in the pendant with just a blob of glue. Once I received the item I accepted it as it had taken several weeks for ItsHot to customise the dog tag pendant and send it. After wearing the dog tag it has now become apparent the glue setting the diamonds in place has now dissolved. Allowing the diamonds to fall out of the dog tag pendant. As you can imagine I was highly disappointed in the quality of the item. An item of this value should be fit for a lifetime!
Itshot responded to my request to repair the dog tag, but they want to do it at a cost to me of $110 + delivery charges. Unbelievably all they want to do is place more glue on the diamonds to set them again. Itshot do not want to accept liability for selling me a poor quality item. And simply want to glue the stones back again for a cost, which will obviously become a problem again over time.
I believe itshot should rectify their error and set the diamonds correctly such as using prongs. I also asked if they could look into putting a plate on the back of the dog tag to make the back closed, as they previously had this option when purchasing the item. Apparently itshot don’t offer this service anymore! My advice is to stay away from itshot, as their after sales is terrible. I’m constantly sending emails to chase them up, they won’t respond with instructions on how to send the item to them (clearly they don’t want to do the repair) and when I ask for contact details so I can escalate the issue I get no response.
This order is from 2019, so it was 4 years ago, since it is a weekend we are not able to get in touch with original salesperson but I do see notes on the account that the middle of the pendant has too thin of a plate to custom set the diamonds as customer wanted, the proper way to set the diamonds would be to make the back thicker with a back-plate which I see in notes was offered but because it would make the pendant more expensive it was refused by the customer. So the only way to stabilize the 3 custom diamonds that customer asked us to set in the middle was to use the glue to support the diamonds (which is never a perfect solution). We also messaged privately and will definitely work on a better solution with the customer.
Original Review: Sept. 17, 2019
Very poor customer from Jennifer. I purchased a bracelet, was not sent out as informed. I called as not received a tracking number, left on hold and was told could not be helped and I asked to be transferred to a manager. Transferred to Jimmy, who was equally unhelpful. The tone of the customer service rep was as though they were doing be a favor, though they did not deliver or have as promised and no apology.
To avoid any misunderstanding please pay attention to the shipping choices we offer which are very clearly listed and explained. For USA there is currently free ground shipping for orders of $150 and over which takes 5-7 business days to be delivered, we also offer FedEx 2 Day Air (takes 2 business days) for $25 and FedEx Next Day Air (takes 1 business day to be delivered) for $35.

I contacted ItsHot.com by telephone in the beginning of May 2019 and spoke with Artur **, who was assisting me with my order. I ordered a custom dog chain with a letter "K" to be set in black diamonds. The evening the order was placed, my credit card declined the transaction because it seemed fraudulent. I ensured the bank that it was not a fraudulent transaction and I emailed the company to rerun my credit card again and let me know that the order was placed. I never heard back from any representative from the company. Over 10 days later my credit card was charged so I reached back out to Artur who told me he had no idea that I was not contacted regarding moving forward with the transaction. I was under the impression that the order had not been placed so I asked if I could alter or cancel the order. The answer was no.
I had been charged in full and I was stuck with the order. Fair enough because I did agree to the order in our initial conversation. Since May I have asked Artur on numerous occasions if this gift would be guaranteed by Father's Day and he constantly reassured me that I would have it on time. I received the item on Monday June 10 and the custom diamond "K" was not set in diamonds. I immediately reached out to Artur to find out why the "K" was not set in diamonds since I was charged $200 for the customization. He admitted to not being on top of my order and checking on it before it was shipped out. He sent me a FedEx shipping label that day to return it to correct the item and once again assured he would have it back to me for June 16th, Father's Day. He also promised to keep me posted on the return and the correction, which he never did.
I tracked the item and it was delivered to ItsHot on Wednesday June 19th at 12:30 pm. I received no update, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. I was never contacted by FedEx that it was reshipped because it wasn't sent. After constant makes and apologies and guarantees of correcting their mistakes, the company has not sent me back the purchased item. I contacted Artur on Father's Day via email to explain how disappointed I was since this item was promised time and time again for my husband's first Father's Day. His response today, Monday June 17, is that the item is ready to be shipped and I will receive it tomorrow. If the item was ready this morning at 10:25 am, that means the item was ready on Friday to be shipped and it was not done. The company has offered no discount or compensation for the aggravation, disappointment, and stress of dealing with this issue for well over a month.
The management looked over what happened and Artur did make many mistakes in this case and we are truly sorry for the unacceptable experience you had. We feel the review is a bit unfair though blaming the whole company although Artur was the only person in the company you were in communication with and you never asked to speak to a manager. We do take full responsibility as Artur is our employee but do really wish you would ask for a manager when you incurred a problem with him and we assure you the outcome would be very different because a manager would have a lot more experience in jewelry manufacturing and would be able to explain to you what is happening much better as well as provide correct project completion date and offer compensation if we were not able to complete the project on time.
I will go over point by point to make sure we provide a complete reply. It is not true that the credit card was charged 10 days later. Jill contacted us on 5/13 to place the order, the credit card did not go through and she contacted us again that evening asking to run it again since her husband approved the order. There was no request for a reply in this email, the exact text of email is: "Please run the card again. I spoke with my bank and approved the transaction. Thank you" and representative processing the card relied on the automated email notification to notify the customer, although we do agree that even a short reply to the above email should have been done. The credit card was authorized on the same day though (transaction went through on 5/13) and there should have been an automated email confirming the charge, the settlement was on Friday 5/17, so a statement from Jill that it was done 10 days later and was unexpected is a bit odd. Once an order for item which is customized for a customer is placed it cannot be cancelled, that is correct, but depending on what stage it is, we might be able to alter it.
There were though numerous mistakes by Artur (on our part). Artur is one of our most recent hires for the sales team and unfortunately it looks like he is not ready to work unsupervised yet. The first mistake was with the requested customization type and price. This particular ordered dog tag was originally designed only for customization with engraving or printing a picture on it since the center part is too thin to set the diamonds on it (there is no way to just drill holes in it and set the diamonds since there is not enough metal to create prongs). Jill requested customization with making a letter K in diamonds in the center of the dog tag and because Artur did not make proper notes and the dog tag was not originally made to be set with diamonds in the center there was some confusion at our factory and it was completed with an engraving instead. Artur tried to correct it by sending the client prepaid shipping label to get the dog tag back and get it redone but incorrectly promised completion time before June 16th. The factory tried to complete it but it was a complicated job where they had to actually put extra metal first on the dog tag in order to set the diamonds, so it took longer than Artur promised. The problem is he failed to communicate with customer (Jill) and also did not escalate the issue to the management.Artur does not have authority to set up additional discount on a custom order but had a customer requested it or made a request to speak to a manager it would certainly been done for the inconvenience.
Our manager did try to reach Jill 3 times but she would not take a phone call, a message was left on the phone she provided with this review, ending in 7325 but she did not return the call.
The pendant did come out very nice, we also see a note on the account that Jill with her husband actually visited our NYC store (after leaving this review and receiving the pendant) to shorten the chain that she purchased with the pendant, which was done for them. The husband was also happy with the pendant (unhappy he received it late though).
We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused and the way this order was handled. We are a real company, with real people, people unfortunately occasionally make mistakes. We would like to apologize again as it was definitely unacceptable on our part. We did make notes and will try to provide better training and also keep new sales representatives on probation longer periods of time. The company is very customer oriented though, so please do ask to speak to a manager if you feel there are any problems with our service and we assure you we will do everything to keep you a happy client. We did learn from these mistakes and do hope you will give us another chance and consider us for your future jewelry needs. If you would like to talk to a manager a message was left with manager's direct phone number on your phone ending in 7325.

Original Review: Bought multiple things over here last years and got always good service but I send in a ring to resize in April this year. Ring got send back and package lost. I got to fill in a insurance form to get same ring back. At this time we are already July promising me a new one in less than 30 days...then I get like 20 mails with the same ** in it. "I will contact our shipping manager and let you know". Every question I asked I get the same answer...then I ask again same question and now "we will ask the billing manager".
Then I get the choice of taking another style ring but I really wanted the same ring. I get answer that he needs to be manufactured again. Ok no problem. I wait...2 months later already and still needs to be manufactured...so last month I asked, "Can I get another ring because I am without ring from April already." "Yes no problem." Till this day I send like 10 links for rings and always same ** "thank you. We will look if the size is right and get back to you". After a week I would mail back same question then I get that it's not the right size. I need to choose new style??? WTF??? Now I send back another 5 links with 2 sizes included. Again they gonna look in the showroom and again it's more than 1 week already since I got an answer. I bought 3 Joe Rodeo watches chains, diamond bracelet, pendants and this is how you treat repeating customers???
To Mr. Dieter: we are very sorry it took longer than expected to resolve the situation and to ship the new ring and will certainly overlook our procedures to make sure such situation is avoided in the future and even most complicated issues are handled in a speedier and more customer friendly matter.

At first I was a bit skeptical of ItsHot.com. I was not sure what to think because online I ran into some reviews that claimed they sold fake jewelry. It's hard to know what the truth is because it's very easy for a competitor to write a fake review these days. After going through the company's website and reading through their frequently asked questions I also realize that celebrities have bought products from this company too. I then decided to purchase a diamond watch and a Franco chain and both are physically brilliant and show excellent craftsmanship. I am very satisfied with both of my products that I have purchased.
I also wanted to mention that the particular sales representative that helped me make the experience memorable. Her name is Oksana and she took Extra Care to make sure things got done right which means a lot. Thank you Oksana and if anybody reading this review plans on buying from this company I would recommend requesting Oksana all the way.

I'm seriously shocked that this company has any good reviews. I guess between all the employees they must have at least 78 friends lol. Anyway, here is my horrible experience with this crappy joke of a company. My husband won a Promotional Gift Voucher for $100 from Itshot.com on the radio. The voucher was expiring at the end of December so before we went off on holiday he placed the order and we took off. When we came back from vacation we still had not received the order so I called to check in on the status of the order and they said that they had called us and emailed us because although my husband had filled in all the required fields to complete the purchase, they still needed him to give them the security code on the back of the credit card (apparently they don't ask for that when you place the order, they call you later to get the number from you). So because we were out of the country they canceled our order.
Hmmm ok, well we are back now, it's weird that you don't ask for all the information you need to complete the order all at one time but ok, here is the number you need. Oh no no no they say, "Now, you can no longer use your voucher because now it is expired." Wait, what? SERIOUSLY? IS THIS A JOKE? We placed the order before the voucher expired, you have proof of that. We filled out the credit card information as it was asked for online. Nowhere did it say, Your order is not complete, that someone from our company must talk to you to get your security pin on the back of your card.
"Oh yeah, well we called you and emailed you after the fact to let you know that we needed to speak with you." That's great, you called and emailed us, but we were out of town so we didn't get those messages. And before we left there was absolutely no indication that our order was not complete! I mean seriously? Why would I not pick up my phone or call you back to give you the information you need? How would that ever benefit me?
Unless while placing my order you specifically told me that I have to call you, or wait for a call from you, to give you more information over the phone, then you have no right to cancel my order without telling me and basically dismiss my voucher! You could have postponed processing the order until you got in touch with me (at least 30 days like most companies give customers to pay their invoices). It costs you nothing to not process the order. Instead my order was quickly canceled as a way to invalidate my voucher!
Heck, even the order REALLY needed to be canceled, sure do so, but once you get in touch with the customer to rectify the situation, Honor your voucher! We did nothing wrong when placing our order it is not our fault you didn't have the security code for the credit card (you didn't ask for it in the form!) so why is the customer the one getting punished?
So here is the real joke - their customer service. Like another reviewer said, if I were to write all about how horrible the experience was I would be here for many many bitter years! So here is the short version. I tried getting this matter resolved for weeks before giving up on this scummy company. I literally recognized the voices of the people I was getting tossed around to. I felt like this was not a real company. I mean do customer service reps actually hang up on customers over and over again? (And just to be VERY clear, although I was angry, I never stopped being polite and curious! I never swore or cursed or exhibited any type of behavior that would justify their hanging up on me!) When hanging up on me didn't work they started pretending that they are sending me to the manager's voicemail. As in the person I was speaking to would transfer me to her own voicemail. Unbelievable! Obviously they never returned any of my calls or messages.
In conclusion, this is a horrid company and I pity anyone that has to experience their terrible customer service. ITSHOT.COM = STAY AWAY! You have been warned.
Also: although the image of the voucher posted is real, the last time we had a voucher mentioned was back in 2014 (these expired in 2014), which is nearly 3 years ago and this review was posted in January of 2017 here, which makes little to no sense even if a customer had a negative experience to post such an issue 3 years after.
Also we do verify the security code of the credit card when customer places the order right away and have been doing so since 2005 (for 12 years since ItsHot.com started), so unless there were some other issues we would not simply be calling customer to take the code over the phone.
As mentioned we have been in business since 2005, we not only have a virtual but an actual physical location in NYC which you are welcome to visit and view, test and purchase the items we sell and we are always happy to assist a customer.

My engagement ring nightmare!! Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. No matter how much you like the design or the price of what they are selling, I would strongly recommend not buying from them under any circumstance. Ring quality: After two hours of wearing the ring, a diamond had fallen out. After a week, three diamonds had fallen out.
After a week of wearing the ring, the ENTIRE BAND SNAPPED, as in broke in half. She was intending to wear this ring for the rest of her life and it snapped all the way through after 1 week (despite her being careful and taking the ring off during exercise, sleep, cooking, etc.). It snapped while she was picking flowers for her bouquet. They advertise as selling i-1 and s-1 quality diamonds. Multiple jewelers laughed when they say how terrible the diamonds were. They are nowhere near that quality.
It gets worse: We have taken the ring into other local jewelers and here are a few things they have said: "I don't know where I could even find diamonds that low of quality to fill the missing diamonds." He then put my ring next to a similar style that he had and the dull yellow-brown hue of my ring was easily apparent. The difference in diamond clarity was shocking. The ring is not a circle, its a uneven oval shape. Another jeweler: "this is terrible craftsmanship. I'm surprised more diamonds haven't fallen out. "I've been in this business for almost 15 years and this may be the lowest quality diamond ring I have seen. I'm sorry, but you got screwed on this one." These quotes came from visits to the following jeweler's in Utah (Sierra West, Custom Ring Design, Jared's, Hur Designers, Shane Co., and Kay).
Customer service: If you haven't decided to go somewhere else yet, HERE'S THE WORST PART: My customer service experience. If I were to fully write out my customer service experience I would end up an old, bitter man before I finished. I am over two weeks into trying to get to a reasonable resolution here and I have had zero progress. I have been on the phone with them every day. By the way, I am a customer service manager so I am VERY familiar with what good and bad customer service looks like. And this is the worst experience I personally have had.
Here are the options they are giving me: 1: Exchange this ring for a new one that is the exact same. My fiance is planning to wear this ring the rest of her life, and it didn't even last one week. Why would I want the exact same ring? 2. Exchange it for another ring on the website and pay the difference. There are no other rings on the site that are reasonably close to the 11 mm pav style ring we purchased. And why would I want another crap ring from them?
All I want is my money back. All I want is to walk away and never talk to or hear from itshot.com again. Just give me a refund and let me go. They keep saying that I am past the 30-day return policy. Even if it was within 30 days, they wouldn't give me a refund because the ring was worn and the tag was removed, SO STOP BRINGING UP THE FREAKING 30-DAY POLICY!! This isn't an issue where we don't like the look or the style of the ring. This is an issue of you sold a piece of crap that broke a week after putting it on and I have ZERO confidence in anything you send me now. The only moral thing for them to do is give me a refund, but they are morally bankrupt and I'm just screwed. Update: ItsHot.com never gave me a refund, but AMEX did through their consumer protection policies.

My husband and I purchased a diamond ring from this site for almost 8,000$. We took it to a jeweler to get it sized. She took off the tag because she needed to look at the ring accurately. My husband has never worn the ring and it is flawless, no scratches and nothing! Because it is covered in diamonds, we were told they don't want to take the risk of sizing the ring, because the diamonds might fall off. We then called ItsHot to ask if we can send the ring back. First of all the lady on the phone was super rude and said that they won't do it because we might of just bought the ring to wear it a few times. Then she said they can't replace it because the tag is off. Excuse me but in that price range you want to see the whole ring. Also what is under the tag... Plus we were getting the ring inspected. She told us that we are not getting our money back and that was it.
Big shame, since we were planning on buying other items off the site. We are big jewelry fans. The ring was also much chunkier than on the picture and it hurt my husband's fingers when trying it on. You obviously can't fully view your item without losing your return option. I am very mad and this will be our last purchase and we will be charging our credit card back! I have never been treated so disrespectfully as a customer... This was supposed to be his marriage ring. It was supposed to be a happy purchase. This experience was just very sad. We are very disappointed.
We tried to look up the customer in our system but there is no customer by the email, name or the order number listed.
We put very thin tags on our items, they do not prevent to put the ring on without removing the tag, you can also easily slide the tag to the side of the ring to see what is under it, so its not required to remove the tag to examine the rind fully or even try it on.
It is also not possible for our representative not to assist a customer (even with the ring from which the tag was removed) with exchanging the ring for the required size or returning the ring for a store credit which can be used anytime.

Itshot.com is such a ** joke. They claim to have "luxury watches" yet they are as mediocre as they come. The crystal on the watch is not sapphire, which means it is not scratch resistant. They claim that their watches are "Swiss made" when they are lying their ** off. They contain Swiss movements, but they're not "Swiss made". This is a huge difference, yet they lie and claim that their Luxurman and Joe Rodeo watches are Swiss made and were manufactured in Switzerland. True luxury watches like, oh idk, Rolex, Cartier, even Gucci, have scratch resistant sapphire crystals and are SWISS MADE. These are two simple indicators of a luxury watch.
The Luxurman Liberty watch was great when I first bought it. It didn't take long before I noticed the ridiculous inaccuracy of the day/hour/date complication on it. Especially the date complication. Virtually every day it's on the wrong date. And now the crystal is scratched. Just because you throw in a couple carats of garbage diamonds doesn't make it a luxury watch. Anyone who knows anything about luxury watches knows that Luxurman, Joe Rodeo, and similar watches like them are a laughing stock. But what can I say. You get what you pay for. Let's wait and see what the loyally paid robotic Itshot.com apologists have to say about this review.

So I ordered a chain pendant and earrings from these guys and they emailed me saying that a few things were back ordered and they actually didn't have my chain at all. So they gave me some options and the only option I liked they didn't have in the right size so I called the next day, I told them I found a chain that would be the same price as the one that offered me (which was 1000 something and they told me that my price wouldn't change. They sent me an email and applied discounts). Now they tried to charge me the difference for the original chain that they didn't have in my color at all (which was 700 something). I'm very disappointed at the level of service and I was forced to cancel my order.
One of the items in the order was a gold chain which we had in stock in yellow gold but not white gold as customer wanted, we offered some similar chains in white gold some which cost the same, some more (as they have more gold in them) customer picked a much heavier chain as a substitution in white gold and it was impossible to offer it for the same price. We did not try to charge the customer, customer was contacted and notified that its a more expensive chain which costs $700 more at which point he decided to cancel the order.

I ordered a custom diamond bezel for a Breitling watch. I provided the exact model number as there are a few variations on the Super Avenger model. They shipped very quickly which was great. The item looked of good quality, in fact, I believe it to be an OEM bezel from breitling based on the markings. However they did not use the correct bezel for the model. It is 0.5 mm too small in size. Now they are requesting I send my watch with the item back. A $6000 item so they can presumably shave or force the bezel onto it. Customer service could not answer how long, insurance while they are working on it, what if something happens to the watch, will I get my oem bezel back?!
I understand that custom orders are not refundable but when you are given an exact model number you should be able to expect that the bezel will fit, instead of just grabbing a (what looks like OEM) 48 mm breitling bezel assuming as the maker that, oh well, it's 48 mm that will work. $1385.00 worth of scrap is what I have to show for my itshot.com shopping experience.
Checked on the order status: customer did decide to send us the watch and we did install the diamond bezel, both the watch and bezel work fine.

I purchased a pair of diamond earrings Christmas Season 2013. I purposely ordered something low in cost ($570.00) because buying jewelry thru Internet is a bit scary. I received earrings which were the size of Cheerios! My wife couldn't wear them since they were so tiny and we tried giving them to her 11-year-old granddaughter, but again they were too small. I thought maybe these earrings were used for body piercings which isn't our thing.
When I contacted Jennifer and other customer specialists about returning them for refund, they asked me if the paper price tag was still on one of the earrings. They said without the price tag being attached there would be no refund. When I opened the package upon receipt THERE WAS NO PAPER PRICE TAG ATTACHED!!! I called them several times about no price tag being attached and they insisted that there had been. They even said that video cameras, which record everything going on there, showed that the price tag was attached as the earrings were boxed up for shipping! HA HA!! They even sent me a letter saying there was a price tag attached and said they are honest and couldn't well afford the refund since they have families to support. Violins please.
I asked Discover Credit card to put matter in dispute, which they did, but eventually they sided with It's Hot. I was told I had a "Store Credit" but no refund would be coming. Thank you It's Hot and Discover Card. I ordered a cheap 10-carat pinky ring with those cheap looking diamond chips and a silver version of a pinky ring with Cubic-Z's instead of diamonds. When I first viewed their website I saw a sharp looking men's diamond ring in white gold for$5600 and in platinum for$9800.
I was told by a local jeweler not purchase anything again from It's Hot. I am using the silver ring for a reliable jeweler who is creating the same ring in platinum and diamonds. It's a shame because I wanted to be one of their customers but it was not to be. I recently was in the Jewelry Section of Manhattan and I wanted to visit their store but me like the usual dummy I am read their address as 2W48th St instead of 46th! Maybe next trip I'll share a corned beef on rye with them.
So could you tell me what is the problem that you have with the ring? Not clear about your comments and why you are unhappy with it?
Regarding the earrings: the size is very clearly listed on the website. It is not scary to purchase something on the internet if you just allow yourself time to read the description and specifications, in fact its very easy as you can do it from the comfort of your home, without any pressure from a salesperson, all you need to do is read the description and specifications which are clearly listed with every item.
Also: all items come with tags attached, without tags it is not possible to process any item as shipping department would not even know what kind of item it is and with which order it has to be shipped. So the earrings were shipped with a tag attached, so if you weren't the one who received the package and opened it, please check with however received the earrings first.
The policy with the tags also in place in order to prevent people from ordering items, wearing them for a special occasion and then returning them. I am sure you would not want to receive earrings which were worn by somebody and then returned. That is why this policy was put in place (as we do not charge restocking fees some were abusing this policy) and to make it simple and clear now all items can only be returned with tags attached and not tempered with.
Hope that makes it a bit clear and the policy makes sense to you.

I purchased a watch from ItsHot.com in December 2014, a Christmas present from my wife, the watch is an expensive 11.50ct diamond watch, we had it sent to the United Kingdom where we live. My wife had put the watch away on arrival to keep it as a surprise for me, I was away on business so I unable to open the watch until January. After wearing the watch I noticed that 2 screws were missing from this watch. I emailed the service team at ItsHot.com and they did nothing to resolve this problem. To make matters worse the watch has completely stopped and isn't working at all, this has lead me to believe that the watch has been tampered with or second hand. I once again emailed the service team and their response was to contact Joe Rodeo directly even though they sold me a faulty watch. I will be taking this matter further but I would instruct people from outside the USA not to use this company as they are untrustworthy and a company with the poorest after sales care I have ever heard of. This company has done nothing to rectify the problem so if you have money that will be stolen from you use this company otherwise use an alternative company.
Customer was advised to contact Joe Rodeo as although we are authorized resellers of these watches we are not an authorized repair center for Joe Rodeo, and for any service customers are advised to contact Joe Rodeo directly for manufacturer's warranty as the watch is under full warranty.

I recommend you do not do business with them if you value a company that care about their customers.
We always work and assist our customers and it is usually not a problem to use the deposit on another item (for sure won't be a problem within a year) but this deposit was made 5 years ago and customer disappeared, the order is not even active in the system anymore and we are not able to trace the source of the deposit, so the order is locked and can not be changed.
Again, even after not being able to contact the customer for 5 years we allowed the customer to finish the layaway he agreed to finish within 3 months without any fees or penalties.

I ordered a watch on a Monday and they said they don't have it there, they keep it at their warehouse. It will ship on Weds. I called them not them calling me! When I called, they said "oh the watch you bought from the pictures on Ebay" is not in fact the watch I would get. From there I tried buying the watch on Ebay and they constantly said the fees was too high and I would need to buy it off. Well I did and then they said the watch that I purchased and paid for on Monday was not the watch that I was getting. I ordered a solid Diamond Rolex with great diamonds per the salesgirl at first. But now they were color J which is not even close to the one in the picture. Then said and by the way the one you bought doesn't have diamonds on the clasp.
3 days later they tell me this and was not even sorry she had to say it. It was like another day at the office full of lies. Her name was Tiffany I believe. They record their phones so anyone from their company that says everything that I says is untrue then they need to listen. Thank God I used Paypal and they can't scam me out of my money!! PLEASE look for another company to buy from! No matter what they say you could be the next victim. They may sell 3 good ones but who knows when the next one will be like me. There are thousands of honest jewelry stores that do not lie. When making a large purchase this should be the last thing on your mind. Run away folks before you get something way less then you pay for not even know.
Sorry, comment doesn't make a lot of sense: if company would be trying to scam or take your money you would simply be sent a cheaper watch or nothing at all.
We are sorry for the inconvenience but nobody scammed you, you were contacted regarding it and clearly explained what happened.The representative who originally took the order is a new person hired for the holiday season and never saw this watch, she made a mistake telling you the diamonds on this watch were a great quality diamonds but she did make a note on the order to confirm the diamond quality. When the order was processing they noticed the problem and called you to notify that this watch does not have great diamonds as originally promised you. This is an authentic Rolex watch for $6,000 with over 20 carats of real diamonds, this particular watch is a price point watch, diamonds on it are not top quality diamonds. So you were contacted regarding it and offered a watch with less diamonds but higher quality diamonds.
Again, we are sorry for the mistake the first representative made and understand you feel upset for not getting what you were promised originally but nobody tried to scam you nor to take your money and run, as soon as we noticed the mistake you were contacted about it. Once the refund was requested, full refund was issued and it doesn't matter if you paid with paypal, credit card or any other method, you would have been fully refunded upon request (as you were in this case).

Its Hot is one of my top stores at the moment. A friend of mine recommends me this store and at that time, I was desperately looking for a diamond watch for my engagement. I wanted to look beautiful and I always had a fetish for diamond watches. I was praying to get the perfect piece but when I surfed the collection of Its Hot, I was confounded. There were so many watch models that it was difficult to choose one. I found myself staring at the screen and there was now a problem of plenty. Too many watch designs and I just had to buy one. After hours of craving for various models, I finally ordered the one that gave me the best of style and price.
On my engagement, I got so many compliments for my watch and ever since then, I make it a point to buy all my watches from this site itself. The collection at Its Hot is refreshed often and there is always something new to look forward to. I love watches and the kind of style and design that Its Hot offered is diverse and whopping. I loved the styles of watches and I will ask every watch lover to at least visit the store once. When you go through the collection, you will be amazed at the variety and you are sure to find the perfect piece which you are going to love. Its Hot is definitely one of the best stores as far as watches are concerned.

When I was going through the different watches that are at Its Hot, I was absolutely amazed and mesmerized by the collection. The diamond watches that I found at Its Hot took my breath away. I was absolutely blown by the majestic designs. The price tag is what made me order one of them instantly. I wouldn't say that they are cheap priced, but the prices of watches are justified because the aura and style that these watches exude is exceptionally brilliant. Not just diamond watches, but even the other designs of watches are extremely brilliant too. Its Hot is one of those stores where I found watches spanning all designs and styles. I have no complaints and it is one of those stores that is sure to live up to the hopes and expectations that people have from it.
Every time I have a craving for buying watches, I visit this store and it hasn't failed me so far. I have managed to buy a lot of watches and I am hopeful that the store will continue to amaze me every time I want to place an order. Its Hot is one of those stores that offers a blend of quality and price. You must go through the different designs of watches. Regardless of your taste and style preference, you are sure to find watches that will appeal to your style and suit your personality. I will recommend this store and rate it highly. It is one of my best stores at the moment.

Its Hot is one of the top stores where I found some of the most exciting models of watches. When I stumbled upon this site, I didn’t really know what to expect from it. I wasn’t sure whether I will find the best pieces because I am very specific about what I want from the stores. However, when I explore the collection of watches, I was taken aback. There are so many different models and designs and I wanted to buy every single piece. That was definitely not possible and then began the really tough job of filtering the choices and picking the best option.
It was more difficult than what I thought it would be. I was craving to buy so many models and I ended up buying two watches instead of one. No doubt, it is one of those stores that I am going to recommend to one and all. Not only can one find stylish watches here but it was the collection of diamond watches that made me gape at it in amazement. The diamond watch range is perhaps the most beautiful collection I have ever seen and I fell in love with the watches instantly. Their price is justified and I am going to order them soon. I love this site a great deal and I will recommend it to every single person who wants to buy the best looking watches that are stylish, classy, elegant and have an aura of their own. Make sure to take a look at Its Hot.

I have a fetish for watches. I just can’t resist myself from buying watches. However, I can never buy watches that are not up to the mark because I am very particular of the ones that I will have in my collection. At Its Hot, I was stunned to see such a beautiful and breathtaking collection of watches. It was for the first time that I wanted to buy more watches than what my budget could afford. I felt like placing an order for almost all the models.
I will recommend this site to every single person who has a fetish for watches. Believe me; you will be blown by the awesome collection. The watches are simply too amazing and you are going to fall in love with them. When I saw the rates of the watches, I got even more excited. They are worth every penny that you spend on them. Ever since, I came across Its Hot, I do not buy watches from anywhere else. It is too good to even look for anything else.
By far, one of the best ranges has to be the diamond watches. Though, they are way too expensive because they are also like jewelry. Yet, you will itch to buy most of them, I did. I fell in love with the beautiful collection and this is one of the best stores for me. I have bookmarked it and often visit the store to fall in love with the exotic collection of handsome watches at this fabulous store.

If you are shopping for diamond jewelry or a diamond watch this is sure the top place. First called them and wanted to place the order over the phone but found out they have a store in New York. Since we were planning a trip there for a long time, we actually decided to visit the store. We love diamond jewelry and probably spent over an hour there trying to decide between the rings. Salespeople are helpful and once we made our choice rings, we're sized right there by their jewelers for a perfect fit so we walked out of the store wearing them! They also have some of the largest selection of diamond watches I've seen, but since we didn't plan on buying the watches we used their layaway option, will pick them up by Xmas. For sure our new and only place to buy jewelry.

I was looking for one of the best engagement ring that I could use. I saw a lot of different designs at various stores, but either the designs weren't good or the price was too high to fall in budget. When I stumbled upon It's Hot, I knew instantly that my search is going to end. It is one of those place that offered a rare mix of the best stuffs at the right rates. I was impressed by their collection and now I found myself staring at the huge collection of rings. I finally found the perfect piece that had the best design and the price was perfect as well.
I will recommend this company to everyone. There are a lot of different things that I liked about this store. Their diverse collection is definitely impressive. Although, I had a fixed mind about what I wanted for my engagement ring, still I found better choices at the site. Even when it came to my budget, I found a lot of stuffs in my estimated budget. Even if you have a small budget as you are not willing to spend a lot of money, you will still find ample products to choose from. It's been a lot of time since I have been wearing my ring and the quality is perfect. The ring still shines and I love to wear it every day. So, if you love jewelries, accessories and bracelets, make sure to check out the best products at It's Hot. You won't be disappointed.

We purchased a ring from its hot due to its cheap prices. However when we got the ring we realized why the prices were so cheap. The diamonds began falling out of the ring after only two weeks of wearing it (not even wearing it at night and other activities that might not be good for the ring). We contacted "customer service" and they said to send the ring back and they'd be happy to fix it. After spending $30 of my own money to ship it back we got the ring and only after 2 days diamonds fell out again. You would think spending $1000 on a ring we would at least have a ring with diamonds in it. Needless to say the company will not refund our money nor pay for shipping the ring back once again to have it fixed. This company is not worth the discount. The ring is unwearable and $1000 down the drain.

Been a customer for awhile. Great and very convenient service and amazing prices. When we are in the city we stop by the showroom to pick the jewelry in person but when we need presents we use website to order and deliver to recipients. From high end jewelry (we purchased engagement ring and our diamond wedding bands from their unique jewelry collection) to affordable jewelry for our friends and relatives, obviously you can not compare the quality but everything we received looked great for the price. Our nieces were very happy with diamond earrings we got them for under $300 for example. Bottom line you simply can't beat their prices and service.

I purchased a men's Joe Rodeo diamond watch from this company a while back. I recently found out that my watch has mainly cubic zirconia (CZ) in it and there is not a single mention of CZs in their product description. I contacted the company It's Hot. An operator from their site online (attached) stated that the watch only has diamonds. Still being unsure, I contacted the manufacturer Joe Rodeo and they confirmed that the watch does indeed have CZs. I was clearly lied to by It's Hot. I requested a refund and even though the company admits they were wrong, they will not do what is right and refund me. I will make sure that my online experience with It's Hot will be shared with everyone I know and that they share it with everyone they know.
We have been in business for many years and we would never lie or mislead our customers. All the information manufacturer of the watch supplies is clearly listed for every watch. The watch in question here has both diamonds and CZs (CZs are floating stones, diamonds are set on the bezel and lugs)but in our title and description as per manufacturer's information stated the carat weight of diamonds only, CZs are never counted in carat weight of diamonds, so anybody who purchases the watch knows exactly the carat weight of diamonds in the watch.

I bought a men's Luxurman 2.25ct black diamond watch. It is a beautiful watch and a lot better than what I expected or from the pictures I've seen on the website. It's definitely one of my best buy online as I can't fault anything from the description of the product right down to the postage and delivery. Some would probably question the cost of the delivery fee, but from online purchase experience, you can't beat FedEx for service, and I also received my parcel in 5 working days.
The watch came in a nice case with 2 interchangeable bands and a warranty card. The watch itself is quality built and it's felt in its weight. The watch is surprisingly heavy and has a large face. The diamonds sparkle from a distance and if I had to give any criticism, it would be the fact that it cost extra for a certificate on the diamonds. I will never ever buy any jewellery from anywhere else again. Next on my wish list is a black diamond necklace and a few more watches for my collection. It was a pleasure doing business with you - ItsHot.com. Oh and maybe a reward plan for regular customers?

I spent about a week talking with representatives. Nobody told me that they need 6 weeks to manufacture the earrings.
Items with particular requirements can take up to 6 weeks to be manufactured (some are done in as little as 2 days and some take up to 6 weeks). We do straight business and from what it looks like you spent the time (the week that you mentioned) discussing the design, so we are sorry about any miscommunication but you were informed about manufacturing time (how else you would know it will take 6 weeks to make the earrings?). Just to make it clear for anybody reading the review: customer did not lose any funds nor even made any payments, she was discussing design of earrings for a week and before we asked for the payment we did inform the customer it will take up to 6 weeks to make them.

My fiance and I were searching for the perfect engagement ring on different websites, when we stumbled upon ItsHot.com. Seeing the prices and the promises of their site, we both thought it was too good to be true. Sad to say, we would eventually learn that it was!
Anyway, so we ordered my engagement ring, and they promised that it would only take 3-5 business days to manufacture my ring. It did not. It took more than a week! I had to file a complaint several times to get to the bottom of the issue. At first, they told me it was because the jeweler was trying to make sure that the ring would be perfect, and then the truth came out, they were really busy and couldn't keep up with the orders since it was Valentine's season. Why say that it would only take 3-5 days to manufacture then? They should have anticipated this.
The second issue is that the ring did not come with an appraisal certificate, which was once again promised. I filed a complaint again and they said it would be mailed separately. They did not tell me this ahead of time, so I suspect that they just forgot to mail it with the ring. After a few days, the appraisal certificate did arrive, though, so that issue was settled.
My third and biggest issue with them was when I decided that I wanted to return the ring. I'll start from the beginning. When the ring arrived, my fiance took the tag off, then gave it to me, but he did keep the tag as a precautionary method in case I wouldn't like the ring. After a couple of days, I came to a decision that the ring just wasn't what I expected it to be, and that I wanted a bigger one. My fiance and I decided to return it. Now, let me just say, upon purchasing the ring, I read and reread their return policy numerous times since I was, after all, ordering from a website, to avoid complications in case I change my mind. It clearly states there that the tag must be attached on the ring, which it was when I mailed it because we reattached it. It did not say anything about them not being able to issue a refund if the tag was reattached.
Earlier today, a woman named Nyka from ItsHot.com called me and said that there was an issue because the tag was not attached to the ring when they received it. I know for a fact that it was because I reattached it myself! I called them back and the customer service agent I spoke to was extremely rude! I have read reviews about the rudeness of their customer service agents. It's sad to say that all of the reviews were downright true. Anyway, she told me that the tag was there, but that they won't issue a refund because it was reattached. That's ridiculous! I told her that of course I took the tag off, why would I wear the ring with a tag on?
The point is, the tag was not missing; it was attached on the ring when I mailed it back to them. She started becoming very rude, so I asked to speak to someone else. I was put on hold for a while, so I hung up and called again. This time, the customer service agent I spoke to said that the tag was missing when they received it, that's why they refuse to issue me a refund! How many times do they have to change their stories? And then she told me to call tomorrow because their returns and refunds department was already closed.
I really hope this will all finally get resolved and I will be given my refund. Lesson learned, next time I am staying away from ItsHot.com!
First of all sorry if it took a day longer to manufacture the ring but as the manufacturing time on this ring is stated 3-5 business days (which means Saturday and Sunday are not included as these are not business days).
The appraisal certificate took longer to send because these are done by the independent gemological laboratory (not by us, these are not fake appraisal certificates which other jewelers provide which they make themselves), the ring was actually submitted to the GIA certified gemological laboratory to be appraised, since it took them an extra day to produce the actual report we decided to ship the ring separately, the appraisal was shipped as soon it was received from the laboratory, hence it was sent separately.
Regarding the jewelry tags: it is clearly stated in our returns policy that we provide 30 days full money back guarantee and we do not have any restocking fees, but all items must be returned unworn with tags attached. The policy regarding the tags is there because when we did not have it some people would purchase items, wore them for special occasions and then tried to return them. Since we are not able to sell used items (all items are guaranteed to be brand new) that created a problem and hence the policy with the jewelry tags. And that is why representative said she is not able to simply issue a refund as the tag was removed. So as you can see it is not ridiculous, there is a reason for everything. Once the ring was received, inspected and verified it was in resalable condition the management did authorize the refund and refund was issued.

After visiting their NYC showroom, I decided to give them a try. I got my first diamond pinky ring from them for an amazing price, much lower where I live (I came to visit from Texas). I had the ring examined by my local jeweler and he just said a couple of words, "Nice ring, probably closeout price. I can't get you anything similar quality for this price." Coming from a jeweler who sells similar jewelry items that says a lot and no, that wasn't the closeout price. It looks like they actually make the jewelry themselves. I even used them again within a span of a few days to order a diamond bracelet and received it by FedEx on the next day! Way to go, ItsHot.com!

When I called to get answers, I was put on the phone with 3 different very rude women who were very unconcerned with helping me. I asked if it was possible if the theft happened inside of ItsHot.com to which she responded, "Your earrings were only 160 dollars. I could understand if they were worth more, but to us that's not a lot of money. We sell things worth thousands." This woman promised to call USPS to try and resolve the problem and stated she would call me back in 40 minutes. She never called back and when I called to see why, yet another rude woman I spoke to said there was no update and there was nothing she could do. So I have learned to never deal with this company again. There is no customer service, no manager available to speak to, nothing. It's a very shady service and I would not recommend anyone to use this company.
We have been in jewelry business for over 7 years, selling high end diamond jewelry. All merchandise shipped and received is under cameras. From the time package gets to our outside door till the time it is received, opened, items examined, scanned and put into stock, everything is recorded on one or more of the 32 cameras at the location.
This particular customer was explained that it is NOT possible for anybody to open her package and steal her merchandise without it being noticed or recorded, not only that is not possible but nobody would risk his/her job and moreover to go to jail for $160 earrings. Nonetheless at customer's request cameras were reviewed and they did indeed show that the box was empty when it was opened by our representative.
Customer was advised to contact the carrier to file the insurance claim, we did tell the customer we will cooperate and will provide the carrier with any information they need including the video recording from the time the carrier delivered the package to the time it was opened. Customer is also welcome to file a police report to help with investigation. Sorry but we can not be liable if we receive an empty package.

I recently purchased jewelry, a 14k gold diamond ring, from ItsHot.com. When it got to me, it had a card saying it's 10k. I got worried and it was too light so I got it checked out by two jewelers. It wasn't even gold. It was silver. I spent so much for shipping and customs. I want the appropriate item or my money back!
Not sure if thats a real customer posting this review. But you do not have to go to two jewelers who will TELL you something. If you would like to evaluate the items on your own it is sufficient to visit one jeweler who is qualified to actually appraise jewelry and will issue an actual appraisal report, not to some local jewelers/crooks who will TELL you anything they want to tell you without being liable for their words or simply not qualified to tell the difference in the metal.
We have been in business for over 7 years, selling items at factory-direct prices. Local jewelers simply can not beat our price and unfortunately will often lie in order to sell their own merchandise to customers or simply not qualified to even test the item.The best and sure way to get the appraisal report from the gemological laboratory which ONLY does jewelry appraisals without selling jewelry. If you must go to some local jeweler for independent evaluation, please make sure the jeweler is at least qualified to tell you if it is gold and diamonds or not and at the VERY MINIMUM have him/her provide an actual report with the company name, his/her name, item information that he found and signature, this way they will be liable for their words and will not lie..
Again: we have been in jewelry business for over 7 years now and served thousands of customers including many celebrities. It is illegal in USA to sell fake jewelry (to mark it as gold but sell it as silver for example) so if we would be doing it we would simply be long out of business.We also stand behind our items 100% and provide 30 days money back guarantee, absolutely no restocking fees and 24/7 customer support. So shopping experience with us is absolutely risk free. If you are unsatisfied for ANY reason with our products you can return them for a full refund no questions asked as long as the items in the same brand new condition they were received. If you received the item, wore it but now for some reason think it is not real, prior to doing anything please get it appraised at the actual gemological laboratory and you will see that it real and is exactly as we stated.

My follow-up: First, I would like to acknowledge that the sales team did finally contact me and it seems they are attempting to resolve the issue. I have sent the item back - they have paid for shipping and said they would take care of getting the correct diamonds set and the engraving along with apologizing for the error. This has been a huge inconvenience and a major snag in getting it by the date I needed but I truly appreciate their willingness to correct the problem. In response to customer support, I had contacted the sales team that I had been working with via email multiple times prior to attempting to contact anyone else. They were who I worked with to purchase the ring and each of those correspondences had the entire chain of communication about the order including the specifications and my disappointment and concerns about the purchase.
In the last email I sent, I asked them to please respond within 1 day or I would escalate the issue. After about two days I filed this report. In addition, I also logged onto the 24/7 live chat but no one answered the chat line and I was transferred over to leave a message which I was not expecting. At this point, I did leave a brief message and you were correct that I did not leave the order number or contact information in this message because I connected hoping to chat with someone live. After sending the previous emails I did not see the necessity of leaving another. I fully understand these errors are human mistakes which was one of my pressing questions in the emails that I sent. I wanted to understand how when you order a custom piece (it is all about details - that is why you order custom jewelry) that it can leave the store without verification that it is close to being correct- especially when critical attributes like the stones are incorrect.
As far as the cost of the stone - I did not infer the stones were changed to cut cost. I was simply stating I did not get what I paid for which should have been princess stones. It was your sales staff that told me the price of princess stones went up which resulted in an increased final quote. I don't know how princess prices compare to round prices because I was not interested in round stones so I never inquired. Again, I would like to acknowledge the sales staff did eventually respond. I wish that it could have been timelier prior to me feeling that filing this report was necessary, but that simply was not the case. They do seem to be resolving the issue.
I have confidence that they will make it right and if they do, I would possibly consider doing business with them again in the future. Although their immediate response was not timely, they do seem to have an effective escalation process for issue resolution which I find to be positive. I also want to acknowledge the original rendering of the ring, although incorrect was gorgeous and very nicely done. The craftsmanship was top quality; my only concerns were with the details not completed to my specifications and the lack of response when I initially contacted them regarding the error. When I get the ring back, I will post a follow up to the final resolution - I have confidence it will end on a positive note.
Final Resolution: As promised, I wanted to follow up on the final resolution of this issue. The ring was sent back to the company and I just got it back. It was absolutely perfect the second time around! I am disappointed that we had to have a second time around and that it took some time to get a response but once I did, the staff I worked with went out of their way to correct the issue and to expedite repair and shipping and I could not ask for more! I actually did not expect to receive it back when I originally wanted it given the circumstances so I was surprised when I got it on the day I needed it, especially since I knew they were still working on it the afternoon before. I know this was not without a great deal of effort on their end, so I want to acknowledge that!
Final note: Mistakes do happen, we are all human and not infallible, I think we all understand that. When they do, I hope that first, learning is gleaned from it and measures are put into place to prevent future issues and secondly, the issue is corrected. Although I can't confirm with 100% certainty they will use this as a learning experience, I feel strongly that they will. I can confirm with 100% certainty that they resolved the issue and went out of their way to make sure they were able to get the issue corrected and get the ring to me on time. The craftsmanship is top notch and the ring is absolutely stunning! Although my experience with this company may not have been perfect out of the gate, I feel it important to note I was satisfied with resolution and I would definitely consider doing business with them again.

After looking for several months for a special piece of jewelry for a significant milestone anniversary for my spouse, I was unable to find exactly what I wanted so I decided to have a platinum and diamond ring custom made to my specifications since I could not find exactly what I was looking for. I had sent multiple inquires to ItsHot.com and they were extremely responsive to any questions I had and I was quite impressed with the level of service (prior to the sale), so I decided to commission them to make the custom platinum diamond ring.
I sent the very specific requirements to them regarding the ring along with a rough picture of what I wanted it to look like prior to them starting the design process. I explicitly stated I wanted 950 platinum, and princess cut diamonds (a 0.5 ct princess cut center stone and an approximate 0.2 ct princess cut stone on each side). I also explicitly stated that I wanted the ring to have an engraving. This was very specific in the instructions that I sent in each email. Since I had shopped around a while before the purchase, prior to starting the ring, I inquired if the original quote was still valid and was told by the sales rep that the price of princess diamonds went up and was provided with an updated quote which was increased in price. I found the quote acceptable decided to start work on the ring.
They required half of the purchase price up front to start the work, so I paid the required downpayment and work on the ring was started. The sales person told me that only part of the design I wanted engraved would fit so they could only do a portion of it. I modified the design, sent it back to them again, and explicitly asked if the modified design would fit. I was told that it would but it would be hard to read with the naked eye. I explained I was ok with it being difficult to read but I wanted the engraving done.
A couple of weeks later, I received a request for the final payment prior to shipment, so I paid the remaining balance and the ring was shipped immediately. Upon initial inspection, I found the ring did not have the engraving that I had specified. I immediately sent an email to the sales rep that I had worked with and never received any response from him. Upon closer inspection, I then realized the two stones on the side were not princess cut stones at all (you know the ones I paid extra for because the price had went up) but they were round stones instead. I sent another email to the sales rep that I worked with and to the general sales address and again, no response.
I have every email that I have sent them with all of the details regarding the specifications of the ring. These were all forwarded to them with my concerns about the ring not being made to specifications and they continue to ignore any questions after the sale. The ring as it is made is very pretty, but there are jewelry stores full of very pretty jewelry that I could have purchased much cheaper without paying the expense to have a ring custom designed. This was a hefty platinum ring with close to 1 ct of diamonds so this was not an inexpensive purchase.
I chose the custom design process to capture the little details that had significant meaning for my spouse and mark my milestone anniversary. I am extremely disappointed that I did not get what I paid for and that service after the sale is so pathetic (actually, non-existent. It is apparent I did not get what I paid for. Every email sent back and forth clearly described the requirements and there were many emails), especially since service is the one reason I chose ItsHot prior to the purchase. Talk about bait and switch. So much for custom work. They send you whatever they decide to come up with and won’t even acknowledge you exist after they get your money. So essentially, this company scammed me into paying more for the ring than the original quote. They came up with their design attributes and decided to ignore mine and don’t even have enough integrity to acknowledge me as a customer after they received several thousands of dollars.

I work in the customer service team and I will reply to complaints on behalf of ItsHot.com. We apologize for the delay. We were just informed of these complaints.
We usually ship with FedEx International Air. Delivery to UK or to most places in Europe is within 2-4 business days. We always ship packages fully insured and with delivery confirmation. Unfortunately to some addresses, FedEx do not provide any guarantee delivery and would only insure a minimal amount. In those cases, we look into other delivery services who would fully insure the package that is also reliable. However, it takes longer for delivery to some addresses. I have updates now that for locations specifically mentioned on previous complaints, we are able to expedite shipping with full insurance coverage.
Also about duty charges, It says in several visible places on our website that we do not charge duty. But your local government might. These are the charges that are imposed by the local governments and we have no control over them.
We have quite a few customers from the UK that we ship to every week and practically all customers tell us that similar items they purchase from us cost around 70-100 percent more locally. We stock over 20,000 unique designs and most of them listed at factory-direct prices. So even with duty charges, the savings are considerable.
About the comment from Lake Grove, we are very sorry the bezel got lost. The watch is not defective. This particular model has a removable bezel. It screws off so it can be changed for a different bezel. Since we do not consider it to be our fault that the bezel got lost, we weren't able to take the loss and provide the new bezel for free. We did offer the new bezel at our cost though. This is a very popular watch model and we've sold hundreds of watches of this particular model to date. This is a single complaint about it and nobody else had any problems with the bezel or anything else with this watch model.
Hope the above clears some issues but if anybody has any questions you are welcome to give us a call or email us. You can also use the live chat feature. Customer service is our top priority always and we provide award winning 24/7 support so if you have any questions, concerns or need help with ordering an item, it will be handled immediately.

I am from Scotland, and I was looking for a good quality watch for my wife's graduation present. I ended up spending $1,700 for a watch and earrings. I was told by the sales person it would take 3 to 5 days, but it took 3 weeks. I was told a certain price that didn't add up. Me and my wife called, and we also emailed to complain, but Timur said we Brits are too serious. that is very bad telephone manners. I told him I had also had to pay $200 for customs duty. I was never told about that. I emailed customer service, I and never even got a reply. Nothing. This is very poor service. I will never order from America again. Please print this, and maybe they might change their ways. I am disgusted by the way we were treated, after they got my money.

I purchased a Joe Rodeo "Rio" Watch for women from ItsHot.com in January 2010. The second day I wore my watch, I noticed the diamond bezel was gone! Apparently the bezel is defective because how does a real diamond bezel just fall off a watch? Especially since this was the second time wearing the watch! I was devastated! I contacted ItsHot.com and told them about my situation and they refused to help me. Their customer service is poor to say the least and obviously the workmanship of their watches just as poor as well. I consider this to be a horrible way to do business because I feel the watch was defective and I'm sure if this happened to me, it must have had happened to other people as well. I don't feel anyone should be sold a defective product.
