How to Buy Gemstone Engagement Ring Online: 12-Point Checklist Before Checkout

Buying a gemstone engagement ring online can give you more choice in stone type, color, shape, setting style, and budget than a single showroom visit. It also removes a useful safeguard: you cannot automatically turn the ring in your hand, inspect its side profile, compare it with your finger, or ask a jeweler to point to the exact feature described in a listing. The answer is not to treat every online ring as risky. The answer is to treat the listing as evidence that must be identified, matched, and documented before payment.

A beautiful product page is not the same thing as a complete product record. A close-up photograph may be representative rather than the actual ring. A report may describe a loose stone but not the finished mounting. “Natural” may not explain treatment. “Custom” may affect the return path. “Lifetime warranty” may be meaningful only after you read what service is included, what care is required, and what exclusions apply. The most useful pre-checkout habit is to stop converting marketing language into assumptions.

This article is a practical education guide, not a remote appraisal, a legal opinion, or an approval of any particular seller or ring. It does not tell you which gemstone to buy. Instead, it provides a 12-point sequence for deciding whether the information available online is sufficient for you to make an informed purchase—or whether you should pause and request a written answer before checkout.

The Three Questions Every Online Listing Must Answer

Before working through the twelve checks, separate the decision into three questions. The first is identity: What exactly is the gemstone and ring being sold? The second is suitability: Does the stone, setting, and care plan fit the intended everyday use? The third is terms: What happens if the size is wrong, a description does not match, service is needed, or the ring must be returned?

A strong listing makes it easier to answer all three. It clearly says whether its photography depicts the exact item or a representative sample. It identifies the gemstone with more than a color name. It states treatments and metal details in writing. It provides enough visual material to assess proportion and setting construction. It makes the return, service, sizing, delivery, and documentation rules findable before the customer pays.

Decision area	The evidence you want before checkout	What the evidence cannot decide alone
Identity	Exact-item photos/video, gem description, report information, treatment disclosure, dimensions, metal disclosure.	Whether the ring will feel right on your hand or fit your personal lifestyle.
Suitability	Side views, setting description, stone exposure, size/dimension data, care guidance, resizing information.	A universal prediction of long-term wear, since habits and real construction matter.
Terms	Written return rules, service/warranty terms, delivery method, payment record, taxes/duties information where applicable.	Whether a seller’s policy is favorable for every buyer; you must read the specific terms.

This separation prevents a common online-buying error: using a positive answer in one category to fill a gap in another. A strong report does not replace a return policy. A generous return window does not identify a treatment. A beautiful video does not establish the metal alloy. Every category needs its own evidence.

Why Gemstone Engagement Rings Need a Different Kind of Online Review

A gemstone engagement ring is not just a colored version of a diamond ring. A colored stone may have a different treatment history, tolerance for heat or chemicals, internal structure, stability, and care requirement. A design that is comfortable for a diamond may expose another gem’s vulnerable area. A brilliant listing may still omit the exact question that matters most to the buyer: What is this particular stone, how has it been treated, and what does this particular mounting leave exposed?

GIA describes colored-stone reports as identifying the gemstone type, stating whether the material is natural or synthetic, and listing detectable treatments. Its reports also include cutting style, shape, weight, measurements, color, and a photograph; origin may be provided for certain stones when determinable. Those fields make a report valuable, but they do not make it a complete condition report for a finished engagement ring. A report describes the submitted material. The mounting, finger fit, current prong security, wearer’s activities, and seller’s contract terms remain separate questions.

Durability requires the same discipline. GIA explains that gemstone durability is not one number: hardness concerns resistance to scratching, toughness concerns resistance to breaking, chipping, or cracking, and stability concerns response to chemicals, light, temperature, and humidity. This means a buyer should not stop at a Mohs hardness figure. Instead, the online conversation should link the gem, its treatment, the setting’s protection, and the intended wear routine.

The 12-Point Checklist Before Checkout

The checklist below is intentionally sequential. Points 1–4 establish whether you know what is being sold. Points 5–8 ask whether the actual ring appears suitable for the intended use. Points 9–12 protect the transaction and the record you will need after checkout. If a material answer is missing, inconsistent, or only available as an informal assurance, pause before payment.

1. Confirm whether the listing shows the exact ring or a representative sample

Start with the simplest question: Are the photographs and video of the exact ring you will receive? Many made-to-order, made-to-size, and multi-variation product pages use representative imagery. That is not automatically a problem, but it changes what a buyer can infer. A representative product photo cannot prove the exact color distribution, inclusions, setting alignment, or proportions of a one-of-a-kind center stone.

If the ring contains a unique gemstone, ask the seller to state whether the page shows that exact stone. If it does, save the item identifier, photographs, video, listed measurements, and date of access. If it does not, ask what will be chosen later and which characteristics are guaranteed versus illustrative. A reliable answer distinguishes between “this is the exact stone,” “this is a similar stone,” and “this is a design sample.”

A visual asset should also be useful rather than merely flattering. Request a straight-on view, a side view, a view showing the stone’s profile, and a short video that shows the ring moving under ordinary lighting. These do not replace a physical inspection, but they make it easier to compare the product text with the actual structure shown.

2. Get a precise gemstone identity, not only a color name

“Blue gemstone,” “emerald-green stone,” or “opal-style ring” are style descriptions, not complete material descriptions. Before checkout, ask for the gem species or variety exactly as the seller describes it, plus a clear statement of whether it is natural, laboratory-grown/synthetic, or an imitation/simulant. Do not assume that a familiar trade name answers all of those questions.

A colored-stone report can be useful here because GIA says its reports describe the type of gemstone and whether a stone is natural or synthetic. A report is not required for every online purchase, and the appropriate documentation depends on the item and claim. But if the listing relies on an identity, origin, or rarity claim to justify the price, ask what independent documentation exists, whether it applies to the exact stone, and how the report can be verified.

Origin language deserves particularly careful reading. GIA says origin may be provided when determinable for certain stones. Therefore, absence of origin on a report does not automatically mean anything is wrong, and a seller’s geographic description should not be amplified beyond the documentation. Ask the seller to separate what is reported, what is represented by the seller, and what is unknown.

Listing phrase	What to request	Why the distinction matters
“Natural sapphire”	Gem species/variety, treatment disclosure, exact stone or representative status, and any available report.	“Natural” describes one aspect of origin; it does not by itself state treatment, quality, or the exact item shown.
“Lab-grown ruby”	The seller’s precise material description, report information if offered, and care guidance.	Laboratory-grown/synthetic material should be described clearly rather than implied by color or price.
“Emerald engagement ring”	Gem identity, treatment disclosure, dimensions, setting type, and care instructions.	A gem name alone does not explain the stone’s condition, filling, or mounting protection.
“Origin stone”	The source of the origin statement and whether it pertains to the exact gem.	Origin is a specialized conclusion and may be reported only when determinable for certain stones.

3. Ask for treatment disclosure in writing—and read the care consequence

Treatment is not a moral category and is not automatically a reason to reject a gemstone. Many treatments are accepted in the trade. The online-buying issue is whether a treatment has been disclosed clearly enough for you to understand the stone’s identity, value context, and care needs.

GIA notes that many colored gemstones are routinely treated to improve color and/or clarity and that some treatments can affect stability and require special care. The FTC’s Jewelry Guides materials similarly explain that sellers should disclose treatments in certain circumstances, including when a treatment is not permanent, requires special care, or significantly affects value; this is U.S. consumer-protection guidance, not a global legal rule.

Before checkout, ask the seller for a written answer to four questions: What treatment, if any, is disclosed? Is the treatment detected on an independent report, represented by the seller, or both? Does the treatment create any cleaning, heat, solvent, steam, ultrasonic, repair, or resizing limitation? Where will those care instructions appear after purchase? If the answer is “no treatment known,” ask what that statement is based on rather than treating it as a laboratory conclusion.

The goal is not to demand a universal treatment-free standard. It is to avoid discovering a material care restriction only after the ring has been worn, resized, exposed to heat, or sent for repair.

4. Match every report field to the exact stone—not just the report title

A report is most helpful when the buyer can compare it field by field with the offered stone. GIA says its colored-stone reports can include cutting style, shape, weight, measurements, color, a photograph, and multiple security features, alongside identity and detectable-treatment information. That gives you a structured comparison list.

Check the report number, issuer, date, gemstone type, natural/synthetic conclusion, treatment entry, shape, measurements, weight, color description, photograph, and any origin statement against the listing. Then ask whether the report is for the exact loose gemstone now mounted in the ring. If the stone was mounted after reporting, request confirmation that the report number belongs to that center stone. If the listing combines a center gem with side stones, clarify whether the report describes only the center or more than one stone.

A report does not set a price, establish a particular style preference, guarantee that every sales image is color-accurate on your device, or describe every detail of the finished mounting. It is one piece of evidence. Its value comes from a careful match between the report, the listing, the actual stone, and the order record.

Evidence source	Strong use before checkout	Important limit
Gemstone report	Confirms the information the issuing laboratory states about the submitted gem, including the fields shown on that report.	It is not automatically a current condition report, valuation, or complete finished-ring inspection.
Product page	States what the seller is offering, including the configuration, metal, price, and terms in effect at that time.	It can change; save a dated copy or screenshots of material claims.
Exact-item video/photos	Helps compare color distribution, proportions, setting profile, and visible condition.	Device displays and lighting affect appearance; images do not reveal every structural issue.
Written seller response	Clarifies an ambiguity and creates a useful record of the representation made before purchase.	It should be consistent with the final invoice, report, and published terms.

5. Review visual evidence for scale, proportion, and color context

Online jewelry photos often use close framing, controlled lighting, and magnification. That can be beautiful and useful, but it can also make a stone appear larger or a color appear more uniform than it does in ordinary wear. Request at least one reference point: complete gemstone measurements, band width, setting height, finger-size context, a scale image, or a video showing the ring on a hand.

Read measurements as dimensions, not as a universal beauty score. For a gemstone, length, width, depth, shape, and the way it is mounted all contribute to the visual footprint. For a ring, band width, profile, setting height, and overall top-view spread can matter as much as the center gem’s weight. Ask where each measurement was taken. “2 mm band” might mean a top width; it may not tell you the base width, thickness, or taper.

For color, ask what lighting was used for the images and whether the supplied video shows the exact gem under more than one ordinary lighting condition. Do not ask a seller to promise that a screen image will look identical in every environment. Instead, ask for enough transparent visual evidence to understand the stone’s range of appearance and any obvious color zoning, inclusions, windowing, or contrast visible in the actual item.

6. Connect durability to your real routine: hardness, toughness, and stability

“Is this gemstone durable?” is too broad to answer responsibly without the intended use. A ring worn daily by someone who works with their hands, exercises, travels, handles children, gardens, cooks, or removes jewelry carefully faces a different pattern of risk from an occasional-wear piece. The right online question is: How do the gem’s known durability considerations, treatment, and setting interact with the wearer’s routine?

GIA explains that hardness is only one part of durability. Hardness concerns scratching; toughness concerns chipping, cracking, and breaking; stability concerns response to heat, chemicals, light, and temperature or humidity changes. A single Mohs number therefore cannot tell you everything a particular ring needs. Some stones can resist scratches well while still needing care around impact, thermal change, surface-reaching features, or treatment-related restrictions.

Do not turn this into a generic online “approved stones” list. Ask the seller or a qualified jeweler to explain the care plan for the exact gemstone and mounting. If the ring is intended for daily wear, ask what activities the seller recommends avoiding, what inspection interval is advised, whether the stone or treatment has any cleaning restrictions, and how the setting protects vulnerable edges or corners.

Question to ask	A useful written answer explains	An answer that should prompt follow-up
“What durability factors apply to this exact gem?”	Hardness, toughness, stability, treatment, and setting context.	“It is fine for everything” without stone- or setting-specific detail.
“What routine care is required?”	Cleaning method, heat/chemical precautions, storage, and inspection advice.	“Use any jewelry cleaner” without acknowledging the actual gem/treatment.
“Which parts are most exposed?”	Stone corners, girdle/edge, prongs, bezel coverage, or other specific design features.	A description that only repeats a style name without a side view or construction detail.
“What does daily wear mean for this design?”	Conditions, care habits, and service expectations rather than a structural guarantee.	A universal durability promise detached from the wearer’s lifestyle.

7. Inspect the setting as closely as the gemstone

A ring setting is not decoration around a stone; it is the system that holds and protects it. GIA’s setting guide distinguishes types such as prong, bezel, flush, channel, tension, bar, and basket settings, as well as broader styles such as solitaire, halo, pavé, cathedral, and three-stone. Those words give you a vocabulary for requesting the information a front-facing glamour image may not reveal.

Ask for a true side view and an explanation of how the center gem is held. Are there exposed points, corners, or an edge that could meet a hard surface first? Do prongs cover the vulnerable areas of the stone shape? Is a bezel partial or full? Is the head raised, low, open, or enclosed? Are side stones held with shared prongs, channels, or another structure? Is there enough side-view information to understand how a wedding band might sit alongside it?

A buyer should also ask about resizing before purchase, not after. Some stone-set shanks, eternity-style layouts, tension constructions, or intricate decorative elements can affect how a ring can be adjusted. Do not assume that “custom size available” means any future resizing is simple, appropriate, or included. Request the seller’s written sizing and resizing guidance for that exact construction.

8. Obtain a gemstone-specific care plan before you own the ring

A care card that says “avoid chemicals” is not enough for every gemstone ring. GIA notes that light, heat, chemicals, and abrupt temperature changes can affect particular colored gems. It also warns that treatments can be negatively affected by heat, solvents, steam, and ultrasonic cleaners; not all gems and jewelry are appropriate for ultrasonic cleaning.

Before checkout, ask for care instructions that name the gemstone, disclosed treatment, metal, and setting. The written plan should explain routine cleaning, which methods to avoid, whether professional inspection is recommended, how to store the ring, and what to do before repair, resizing, or cleaning by another provider. If the seller cannot state the care requirements for a treatment they have disclosed, the buyer does not yet have a complete product description.

This check becomes even more important when the ring will be exposed to frequent hand washing, sanitizer, fragrance, cosmetics, pool chemicals, household cleaning, heat, or changes in climate. The correct conclusion is not “never wear it.” It is to make a documented care choice that matches the gem and the wearer’s routine.

9. Read the metal description, hallmark, and finish as separate fields

The center stone receives most of the visual attention, but the metal determines much of the ring’s skin contact, finish, color, maintenance pattern, and resizing conversation. Ask what alloy the primary ring body is made from, what the stated fineness is, whether there is plating or a finish treatment, and whether any visually similar component differs in composition.

A hallmark, stamp, or quality mark can be useful evidence, but it is not a universal biography of the entire ring. It does not by itself establish gemstone identity, current condition, origin, or warranty. Where metal terminology, marks, and disclosure rules are relevant, they can be jurisdiction-specific. Ask for the seller’s written metal description and keep it with the invoice rather than relying only on a tiny interior stamp that may be difficult to photograph or read later.

For online comparison, a useful metal description identifies the principal alloy, stated karat/fineness or other composition term, visible finish, plating if any, and any separate component with different material. If the listing uses a term that is unfamiliar or ambiguous, ask for a plain-language explanation before checkout.

10. Verify size, fit assumptions, and the resizing path

Ring size is a fit decision, not a number you should copy casually from another ring. Finger size can vary with temperature, time of day, health, activity, and ring width. An online seller may offer a sizing guide, a temporary sizing option, a mailed sizer, or a local-measurement recommendation. Read the actual method and the size system used; regional systems are not interchangeable without conversion.

Before payment, confirm the ordered size, the measurement method used, whether the ring is made to that size, whether custom or resized items have different return terms, and what the seller says about future resizing. Ask whether the ring’s construction—full stone coverage, engraved details, a particular setting, or other elements—affects the available resizing range. Keep the size selected at checkout in the order record.

A ring that must be remade, resized, or exchanged is not necessarily a failed purchase. But the time, cost, eligibility, shipping responsibility, and treatment of custom items should be understood before the payment button is pressed.

11. Read the return, warranty, repair, and appraisal language before it becomes urgent

Return and service terms are not an afterthought. They are part of the product. Read the rules for return eligibility, timing, condition requirements, custom or altered items, resizing, shipping method, insurance, refund path, warranty coverage, routine maintenance, repair, and loss/damage exclusions. If a policy uses broad terms such as “lifetime,” “complimentary,” or “guaranteed,” locate the conditions that define those terms.

Do not assume that a gemstone report, a seller warranty, and a third-party appraisal are interchangeable. They have different purposes. A report may describe gem material. A warranty may describe a seller’s service commitment. An appraisal may be prepared for a valuation-related purpose. If you need documentation for insurance, ask what documents will be provided and whether an additional appraisal is appropriate for your situation.

This is also the right moment to identify who performs service. If future resizing, prong checks, re-polishing, replating, or cleaning must be performed by a particular provider to preserve a warranty, obtain that requirement in writing. A condition that appears only after a repair need arises is not a useful pre-purchase disclosure.

12. Protect the delivery and order record before you submit payment

The final check is procedural, but it protects every other check. Before checkout, save or print the product page, exact-item photos/video links where applicable, report number, written treatment and care disclosures, metal description, size selected, price, return policy, warranty/service terms, delivery estimate, shipping method, stated duties/taxes information where relevant, and any written seller answers to material questions.

Then review the final order summary. Confirm that the gemstone, metal, size, engraving, setting configuration, and price match the evidence you saved. Use a payment method and delivery arrangement you understand, and retain the order confirmation, tracking information, delivery record, and post-purchase correspondence. Do not let an expiring promotion, countdown timer, or stock message substitute for a documented answer to a material question.

A final record is not a sign of distrust. It is good ownership practice. It makes later sizing, care, repair, insurance, return, and resale discussions more precise because you can show what was represented at the time of purchase.

A One-Page Comparison Method for Two Online Rings

When comparing rings, do not put only the price, gemstone name, and carat weight side by side. Use a short evidence comparison that makes missing information visible. The table below can be copied into a note before you decide.

Field	Ring A	Ring B	What a complete comparison requires
Exact item or representative sample			Seller’s explicit statement and matching images/video.
Gem identity and natural/synthetic status			Written material description plus report information where offered.
Treatment disclosure and care implications			Written disclosure, treatment status, and gem-specific care plan.
Report match			Number, photograph, shape, dimensions, weight, and treatment entry aligned to the offered stone.
Dimensions and visual scale			Stone measurements, band width, setting height, side view, and scale context.
Durability and setting protection			Hardness, toughness, stability, stone exposure, and lifestyle discussion.
Metal, finish, and size			Full metal disclosure, plating/finish notes, size system, and resizing route.
Return, service, delivery, and record			Written terms, order confirmation, shipping method, and saved documentation.

If one column has more blanks, that does not prove the other ring is better. It means you have not yet obtained equivalent information. The fair next step is to request the same fields from both sellers before comparing price or visual preference.

What Should Make You Pause Before Checkout?

A pause is not an accusation. It is a request for the information needed to compare a high-consideration purchase responsibly. The following patterns deserve a written clarification before payment.

Situation	Why it matters	A constructive next step
The stone is described with a color name but no clear material identity.	Color is not a complete gem description.	Ask for species/variety and natural, synthetic, or imitation status.
A report is mentioned but cannot be matched to the offered stone.	A report’s value depends on the exact-item match.	Request the report number, report image, and confirmation of the matching center stone.
The seller says “untreated” but cannot explain the basis.	Treatment status is a material claim and may affect care/value context.	Request the written disclosure and supporting documentation.
The video is generic, edited, or lacks a side view.	You cannot assess scale, profile, or some setting features confidently.	Request unambiguous images/video of the exact item or identify it as representative.
“Daily wear” is promised without care or setting detail.	Durability is a combination of gem properties, treatment, setting, and lifestyle.	Ask what protective features and care limitations apply to the exact ring.
Return or warranty wording is hard to find.	The terms are part of the purchase, especially for made-to-order or custom rings.	Ask for the policy link and the rule that applies to your chosen configuration.
You are being pushed to pay before a material answer arrives.	Urgency cannot replace a complete product record.	Wait until the answer is provided in writing and matches the order summary.

How a Custom Order Changes the Checklist

A custom ring can be an excellent way to build a piece around a particular gem or lifestyle need, but it also increases the importance of a written design record. Before approving a custom order, ask for the chosen gemstone’s identity/treatment details, shape and measurements, metal, ring size, band dimensions, setting style, viewing angle or design rendering, engraving, cost, production timeline, resize terms, cancellation/return conditions, and care/service instructions.

Custom work often has a different return path from a ready-to-ship item because the ring is made to a selected configuration. That is neither inherently favorable nor unfavorable; it must be understood before the design is approved. Romalar Jewelry custom ring guide is a useful internal starting point for considering how stone, metal, and setting work together, but the final order should still state the exact specifications agreed for your own ring.

The principle is the same as for any online listing: a design rendering, stock image, or inspiration photograph is not the final item unless the seller says it is. Keep the approved drawing or rendering with the final specification sheet and order confirmation.

Final Thoughts

The best online gemstone engagement ring purchase is not the listing with the most adjectives. It is the one with the clearest evidence. Before checkout, identify the exact item; confirm the gemstone and treatment; match any report to the stone; assess scale, durability, setting, care, metal, and fit; then read the return, service, delivery, and record-keeping terms as carefully as the product description.

A seller does not need to make impossible promises for a listing to be trustworthy. The stronger standard is simpler: material claims are specific, documents match the offered item, care and service limits are disclosed, and the buyer can preserve a written record of what was agreed. If that evidence is not available, waiting is not lost time—it is a sound part of the buying process.

FAQs

Is it safe to buy a gemstone engagement ring online?

Online buying can be a workable option when the seller provides enough item-specific evidence and the buyer reads the terms before payment. Safety is not created by a single badge, review count, or product photo. It comes from matching the exact item, gemstone identity, treatment disclosure, report information where offered, setting details, size, care instructions, return/service terms, and delivery record before checkout.

Do I need a laboratory report for every gemstone engagement ring?

Not every ring will have the same type of report, and the appropriate documentation depends on the gemstone and claims being made. When a GIA colored-stone report is supplied, it can describe gemstone type, natural or synthetic status, detectable treatments, shape, weight, measurements, color, photograph, and sometimes origin when determinable. The key is to understand what documentation exists, what it covers, and whether it belongs to the exact offered stone.

What should a gemstone treatment disclosure say?

It should identify the treatment or state the seller’s disclosure clearly enough for you to understand any material care implication. GIA notes that treatments can affect stability and special care. FTC guidance explains that sellers should disclose treatments in certain circumstances, including when a treatment is not permanent, requires special care, or significantly affects value. Ask for the care restrictions in writing rather than relying on a broad “treated” label alone.

Can I rely on product photos to judge a gemstone’s color?

Photos are useful but incomplete. Device settings, editing, lighting, magnification, and background influence appearance. Request photos and video of the exact item when available, ask about lighting, and use measurements/scale context. Avoid asking a seller to promise a screen-perfect color match; instead, ask for transparent visual evidence and a clear return process if color is a material concern.

Is Mohs hardness enough to tell me whether a gemstone is good for an engagement ring?

No. GIA explains that durability includes hardness, toughness, and stability. A stone’s treatment, inclusions, mounting, exposed edges, cleaning restrictions, and wearer’s routine also matter. Ask for a setting-specific and care-specific discussion of the exact gemstone rather than relying on one hardness number.

What setting details should I request online?

Ask for the exact setting type, clear top and side views, stone exposure, protection around points or corners, prong or bezel coverage, accent-stone construction, setting height, band width, and resizing implications. GIA’s setting guide provides useful vocabulary—such as prong, bezel, channel, basket, halo, pavé, and cathedral—but a style name alone does not show the specific ring’s construction. 

Can a gemstone report prove the whole finished ring is authentic?

A gemstone report describes the submitted gemstone and the fields stated on the report. It does not by itself describe every component of the finished ring, its current condition, fit, prong security, shipping history, or seller terms. Compare it with the actual product listing, metal disclosure, setting information, invoice, and—when needed—a qualified in-person inspection.

What should I know about resizing before I order?

Confirm the size system, how the selected size was measured, whether the ring is made to order, the seller’s future resizing policy, who performs the work, and whether the design limits adjustment. Stone-set, engraved, tension-style, or otherwise intricate rings can have different resizing considerations. Get the answer for the exact configuration and save it with the order record.

What documents should I save before checkout?

Save the product page, item identifier, exact-item imagery/video or the seller’s representative-image statement, report number and report image if supplied, treatment/care disclosures, metal details, selected size, custom design approval if applicable, price, return terms, warranty/service terms, delivery details, taxes/duties information where relevant, seller correspondence, and the final order summary. These records help establish what was represented when you paid.

What is the single most important pre-checkout rule?

Do not submit payment while a material answer is missing, contradictory, or only verbal. A thoughtful seller should be able to clarify what is being sold and what terms apply. If the answer changes the item’s identity, care, return eligibility, or service path, ask for it in writing and compare it against the final order summary.
