Internet Security

This site was designed and programmed by Distant Horizon, Inc. a web development firm specializing in e-commerce. Our jewelry auction use a Verisign 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer Certificate. Your payment information and credit card number are encrypted on your computer with a code that is only resolvable by the host server of Distinctive Gold Jewelry, rendering the digital information sent across the web indecipherable to anyone who might intercept the information. In more practical terms, if you have a Master combination lock and do not know the combination, you have to guess three correct numbers in a row to open the lock. Anyone who has forgotten a combination over the years could attest that this is no laughing matter even with just a three number combination. Our level of encryption leaves a potential hacker with the task of guessing forty correct numbers of the combination in a row!

Insured Shipping

All merchandise purchased from Distinctive Gold will be shipped via insured mail to the billing address on the credit card used for purchase. Shipping and handling is not included in the listed purchase price of our inventory. International and Priority shipping options are available upon request.
