  • How Does Ordering from J Frank Golden Online Work?
    Orders placed on the site are submitted as memo requests. We will fulfill your memo with the exact stone your ordered or, if that stone is not available, with a stone, or stone selection, of similar size, shape, color and quality. We cannot guarantee the exact stone shown on the site in every instance. Your selection(s) will be shipped to you based on the method chosen at checkout. The memo is yours to use with your customer(s) for 15-days. After 15 days we ask that you return the items you are not keeping and we will invoice you for what you chose to keep. If all items are returned, you will only be invoiced for shipping.
  • When Will I Receive My Order
    Orders are typically shipped out within 24 hours of receiving them. If you place an order after 4pm EST it will go out the next business day due to the timing of our carrier pickup time. Our business hours are Monday - Friday 8am - 6pm EST. Receipt of your order will depend on the shipping option you chose. FedEx - 2nd day will be two days after your placed your order, etc.
  • Will I Be Billed or Invoiced at Checkout
    No. Online orders are submitted as memo requests. A memo is a 15 day period for you to work with our merchandise along side your customers in your store. After 15 days, we ask that you return the portion of the memo you do not wish to keep or report on your memos status. Once we know what you would like to keep, we will invoice you for those items. If you return the full memo, you will only be invoiced for shipping.
  • What is a Memo
    A memo is a selection of merchandise we will send to you to show your customer(s) for 15 days. We ask that you report on, or return to us, the items you do not wish to keep when the 15 day period is up. You may also receive a call from us asking the status of the memo. Once we've established what you are keeping and what is returned, we will issue an invoice for the items purchased.
  • How Do I Order Multiple Quantities or Matching Sets
    If not already designated as a matching set (pairs, trios, etc.), you will be able to change the quantity of items in your cart at checkout. There is also a space provided in your cart at checkout to communicate specifics to our order filler. Use this space to designate if you would like a selection based on items chosen or any specifics necessary for us to fill your order properly. Some items will require you to designate matching or not before you can add them to your memo. These are items such such as standard size stones. Items that are not one-of-a-kind.
  • Why Can't I Add an Item to My Memo
    The site requires that all option fields for the item have a selection chosen in each dropdown. See image below for visual reference. Once there is a selection in each dropdown, you can add the item to your memo. This can be confusing especially when there are multiple choices for the same stone in the dropdown. An example might be - multiple color options for one stone. Just choose any of the options. The stone referenced will be the one you see and that is what we will fill the request from. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope to have this issue resolved in the near future.
