I PAID EXTRA BECAUSE OF THEIR WARRANTY. IN MY EXPERIENCE, IT WAS WORTHLESS. I bought a Forever One moissanite ring for $1,116.25 through MoissaniteCo, an authorized Charles & Colvard retailer, delivered in August 2020, for my 40th anniversary. It's beautiful, but the large diameter made it uncomfortable, so my wife only wore it occasionally, to dinners. After a little over six years, five stones have chipped and a sixth fell out. My wife is now embarrassed to wear it. The whole anniversary purchase is a loss. Forever One stones currently cost $225 more than standard moissanite in this ring configuration. I chose them after reading C&C's warranty on their website, which says chipping is covered, including for stones my size, for stones "sold directly to the end-consumer purchaser." I was the original end-consumer purchaser, and I bought the ring new from an authorized retailer. I assumed that was the warranty I was paying for. Charles & Colvard's Director of Customer Service confirmed in writing that their warranty covers chipping and applies to authorized-retailer purchases. But she said claims are handled only by the authorized retailer, and she relied on the retailer's account of the damage without examining the stones. The retailer had told me chipping isn't covered at all. Charles & Colvard announced in July 2026 that it had been acquired by new owners, who promised a stronger customer experience and a renewed focus on service. I contacted them in August 2026, a few weeks later. My experience was nothing like that. Their Director of Customer Service confirmed that the warranty covers chipping and applies to authorized-retailer purchases, then sent me back to the retailer, which had already told me chipping isn't covered. Charles & Colvard never examined my stones. I don't know whether the change in ownership had anything to do with how my claim was handled, but a long-established brand under new ownership that says it is improving customer experience did not deliver that to me, and I would not trust its warranty. In my opinion, you should not buy from Charles & Colvard, not even directly. A company that won't stand behind its stones when they are sold through its own authorized retailer shows me no regard for its brand's reputation. The manufacturer sent me to the authorized retailer, the authorized retailer said chipping isn't covered, and I was left with nothing, which also says a lot about MoissaniteCo. In my experience, the result is a warranty system where no one is ever responsible. If you buy C&C stones through an authorized retailer, the manufacturer's warranty may exist only on paper.

⭐ 1 STAR – ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING COMPANY! AVOID HASTINGS DIRECT AT ALL COSTS! If I could give Hastings Direct ZERO stars, I would. One star is far more than this company deserves! We took out a car insurance policy with Hastings Direct, which required us to install a black box and download an app. We arranged the insurance, paid what was required and waited for the black box to arrive. Unfortunately, our neighbour accepted the delivery on our behalf and subsequently went away on a two-week holiday, meaning we couldn't get access to the black box to install it. And what did Hastings Direct do? SHOW ABSOLUTELY NO UNDERSTANDING WHATSOEVER! After just SEVEN DAYS, we received an email at approximately 6:00 PM informing us that our insurance policy had been CANCELLED WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT because the black box and app hadn't been installed. No compassion, no common sense, no willingness to help. Just an email telling us we were no longer insured! We even contacted Hastings Direct to explain the situation, which was completely beyond our control. Did they care? NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST! And to make matters even worse, they were more than happy to take approximately £60 PLUS ANOTHER £10 from us, despite the policy not even lasting seven days! ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL! What sort of insurance company treats paying customers like this? Things happen in real life. Deliveries get missed, neighbours go on holiday, and sometimes circumstances are completely outside a customer's control. A decent company would show some understanding and try to find a reasonable solution. But based on our experience, Hastings Direct seems far more interested in taking your money than actually helping you. Their customer service was utterly appalling. We felt completely dismissed, ignored and treated as though our circumstances meant absolutely nothing. I WOULD STRONGLY WARN ANYONE THINKING OF TAKING OUT INSURANCE WITH HASTINGS DIRECT TO THINK VERY, VERY CAREFULLY! Cheap insurance means absolutely nothing if this is the sort of treatment you receive when something goes wrong. To cancel someone's insurance after just seven days, despite being told the circumstances, and still take their money is, in my opinion, completely unacceptable. HASTINGS DIRECT, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE WAY YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS! I certainly wouldn't trust this company with my insurance again, and I would NEVER recommend them to friends, family or anyone else. ZERO CUSTOMER CARE. ZERO UNDERSTANDING. ZERO SATISFACTION. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! An absolutely shocking experience from start to finish. One star is one star too many.
