| Q: Why are you not accepting my credit card / debit card? |

What you can do: Contact your credit card company and request to remove this block.
- You may have a Fraudulent Protective service enabled on your credit / debit card, and as mentioned above, credit card companies receive a large number of fraudulent jewelry orders. Because you are purchasing a jewelry item, that service may block your order for your protection.
What you can do: Check to see if you have this service. You may or may not be aware that you have this service activated in your account. Then contact your credit or debit card company to allow you to make this purchase.
