If you've purchased jewelry from Evry Jewels between September 2021 and September 2024, you could be eligible for up to $14 per order from a $3.5 million class action settlement. Here's everything you need to know and exactly how to claim your money.
What Happened with Evry Jewels?
Evry Jewels, the popular online jewelry retailer, recently agreed to pay $3.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit alleged that the company deceptively advertised discounts on its website, misleading customers about the true value of their purchases.
The settlement was granted preliminary approval by the court on July 30, 2025, with final approval scheduled for October 30, 2025.
Who Is Eligible for the Settlement?
You may be eligible to claim money if you meet ALL of these criteria:
- Location: You were physically located in California, Oregon, or Washington when you made your purchase
- Time Period: You purchased from Evry Jewels between September 3, 2021, and September 3, 2024
- Valid Purchase: You have records of your purchase (receipt, email confirmation, bank statement, etc.)
How Much Money Can You Get?
The settlement allows eligible customers to claim $14 per qualifying order. This means:
- If you made 1 order: You can claim $14
- If you made 3 orders: You can claim $42
- If you made 10 orders: You can claim $140
There's no apparent limit on the number of orders you can claim for, as long as each order meets the eligibility requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer to file a claim?
No. You can file your claim yourself using the online form. The process is designed to be simple for consumers. Class action settlements are specifically structured so individual claimants don't need legal representation.
What if I don't have my order receipts?
You can still file a claim using bank statements, credit card statements, or PayPal records that show charges from Evry Jewels. Even screenshots of your order history can work. The settlement administrator understands that people don't always keep receipts for years.
Can I still file if I returned some items?
Yes, as long as you made qualifying purchases during the settlement period, returns shouldn't disqualify you. The lawsuit was about deceptive advertising practices, not the quality of products, so returns don't affect your eligibility.
What if I moved states after purchasing?
What matters is where you were located when you made the purchase, not where you live now. If you were visiting California, Oregon, or Washington when you ordered, you may still qualify even if you live elsewhere.
Is this settlement legitimate?
Yes, this is a court-approved class action settlement. However, always verify you're using the official settlement website. Look for court case numbers and official legal language to confirm legitimacy.
How long does it take to receive payment after filing?
Typically 30-90 days after the final court approval on October 30, 2025. So you could expect payment between December 2025 and January 2026, assuming the settlement is approved.
Can I claim for orders I made as gifts for others?
Yes, if you were the purchaser and were located in an eligible state when ordering, it doesn't matter who the final recipient was. You're the one who experienced the alleged deceptive advertising.
What if I used multiple email addresses or accounts?
You should file separate claims for purchases made under different email addresses or accounts, as these may be tracked separately by Evry Jewels' system.
Will participating affect my credit score or taxes?
No impact on credit score. For taxes, settlement payments under certain amounts typically aren't taxable, but consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
What happens if I file late?
Claims submitted after the October 28, 2025 deadline will not be accepted. There are typically no extensions for class action settlement deadlines.
Can I file for someone else (spouse, parent, etc.)?
You can only file for purchases you personally made. However, if someone is deceased or legally incapacitated, their legal representative may be able to file on their behalf.
What if Evry Jewels goes out of business?
The settlement money is held separately from Evry Jewels' business operations, so even if the company closes, the settlement fund should still be available for approved claims.
Do I have to stop shopping at Evry Jewels?
No, participating in the settlement doesn't prevent you from making future purchases. However, the settlement does prevent you from suing them again for the specific advertising practices covered in this case.
What if I disagree with the settlement amount?
You can object to the settlement by the October 28, 2025 deadline, or you can opt out and pursue your own legal action. However, most legal experts suggest that class action settlements provide more guaranteed compensation than individual lawsuits.
How do I know if my claim was approved?
The settlement administrator will typically send confirmation emails and updates. Keep your confirmation number and check your email regularly for updates about claim status.
What if I made purchases in multiple eligible states?
Include all qualifying purchases in your single claim form. Don't file multiple claims for the same time period, as this could be considered fraudulent and disqualify all your claims.
Can I change my mind after filing?
Once submitted, claims typically cannot be modified. However, you can usually contact the settlement administrator if you discover additional qualifying purchases before the deadline.
What proof do I need that I was in an eligible state?
The claim form will likely require you to attest under penalty of perjury that you were in California, Oregon, or Washington when purchasing. Additional proof might include travel records, work addresses, or residence documentation from that time period.
What if I bought items that were on sale or clearance?
All purchases during the eligible time period may qualify, regardless of whether items were full price, on sale, or clearance. The lawsuit was about advertising practices, not specific product pricing.
Will my personal information be shared?
Settlement administrators are bound by privacy rules and typically only share information as necessary to process claims and comply with court orders. Read the settlement's privacy policy for specific details.
Red Flags to Avoid
Watch out for settlement scams:
- Never pay fees to file a claim - legitimate settlements are free
- Don't give sensitive information to unofficial websites
- Avoid third-party "helpers" - file directly through the official site
- Be wary of urgent emails - scammers often create fake urgency
Alternative Options
If you don't want to participate in the settlement, you have other options:
- Do Nothing: You'll receive whatever the settlement provides (if anything) but give up rights to sue individually
- Opt Out: You can exclude yourself and retain the right to sue Evry Jewels separately
- Object: You can object to the settlement if you think it's unfair
To opt out or object, you must submit written notice by October 28, 2025.
Bottom Line
If you purchased from Evry Jewels between September 2021 and September 2024 while in California, Oregon, or Washington, this settlement could put money back in your pocket. The process is straightforward, free, and only takes a few minutes.
Don't wait - the October 28, 2025 deadline will come quickly. Start gathering your purchase records today and file your claim as soon as the settlement website goes live.
