Making A Purchase

what to expect from us

We design and make, by hand the jewellery offered on the website.

To categorise the type of jewellery you will find for sale, please see the following definitions:

Ready To Wear

By definition, these items are ready made, existing pieces of jewellery available for immediate dispatch.

These are sold as described in each individual listing, but can be customised upon request.

To request any customisation to existing jewellery designs, you must contact us to request a ‘Bespoke’ service prior to placing your order.  Failure to request customisation in this way may result in your order being cancelled.

Items for sale in the Ready to Wear Collection are predominately one-of-a-kind items.  The photographs, videos and descriptions are what we believe to be a true and thorough representation of the product that you will receive.

Bespoke 

We offer a bespoke design service in which you have a unique item of jewellery designed and made by us, exclusively for you.

This service is tailored to the specific requirements of each client and is priced only on request.

Prices and time frames for this service vary greatly.

The bespoke service is offered at our discretion and we reserve the right to decline the service if we believe we are unable to meet your requirements, or for any other reason.

Bespoke items have different terms for returns and exchanges - it is important that you have read and understood those terms before you contact us.

Made to Order

Refers to an existing jewellery design/item that is handmade by us upon you placing the order.  This is usually for ‘best sellers’ and time frames for each style will be noted in the listing for that product.

Listings for jewellery that is ‘Made to Order’ may use a photographic representation of the actual piece of jewellery that you will receive.  Due to the handmade nature of our jewellery, the ‘Made to Order’ jewellery you receive may differ slightly from the photographs, videos and dimensions listed in the product description.

It is our best intention to match the listing as closely as humanly possible.

​

As our customer, we will be happy to provide you with any additional information regarding our products and services upon request.

What We Expect From Our Customer

When buying an item, you agree that:

(i) you are responsible for reading the full item listing before making a commitment to buy it:

(ii) you enter into a legally binding contract to purchase an item when you commit to buy an item and you complete the check-out payment process.​

Our Pricing

The prices we charge for our products are listed against each available item.

We reserve the right to change our prices for products displayed at any time, and to correct pricing errors that may inadvertently occur.

Bespoke items showcased in the gallery are merely on display for viewing.  No prices show on bespoke items as they are not for sale.  To discussed the price of a bespoke product, please contact us directly.

​

We may, without prior notice, change the services; stop providing the services or any features of the services we offer; or create limits for the services. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend access to the services without notice and liability for any reason, or for no reason.

Shipping

All orders are dispatched using Royal Mail.

Our delivery fees reflect the prices set by Royal Mail for the delivery service that includes adequate insurance to cover the cost of the item.  We do our best to be transparent about this cost, and try to keep it as low as we possibly can.

​

All orders are presented in a cushioned box, lined with tissue paper and tied with a delicate ribbon.  We line our mailing boxes in tissue paper, and all jewellery orders receive a complimentary cleaning cloth, with instructions on how to care for your jewellery.

  

We are committed to being plastic free

Our boxes are made from recycled materials and are recyclable (except for the cushioned insert).  We use biodegradable, Tencel ribbons, and all of our outer packaging is plastic free – even the tape!

​

Packing may on the rare occasion, differ slightly from the packaging shown in our product photography.  The packaging used in the background of our product photography are generally the same, but on occasion may have been substituted on artistic licence. 

Returns

Our customers satisfaction is paramount to our business.

If you are unhappy with your order, please get in touch to discuss the issue with us and

we will be happy to do everything we can to resolve it with you.

​

Our aim is to make our returns procedure as straight forward and as uncomplicated as possible.  If you are unsure of anything, please contact us and we’ll be happy to guide you through the process.

 

It is important to note that the procedure and terms differ for the type of jewellery we sell.  Please see the breakdown below:

​Ready To Wear & Made To Order Returns

​

If you wish to return your ‘Ready To Wear’ or ‘Made to Order’ jewellery, you are welcome to do so for an exchange or refund.

Please contact us prior to returning your item for advice within 14 days of receiving your order

You then have another 14 days to return the item to us.

​

Please note, that one-of-a kind jewellery items cannot be exchanged (like for like) due to their unique nature, instead they will need to be returned for a refund or credit note to be used against an alternative item.

​

The item for exchange or refund should be returned in its original, unused, resalable condition.

​

Return shipping fees will be at the expense of the you, the purchaser, unless the item is faulty.

​

If the item is faulty, then please get in touch and we can discuss the best way forward.

​

It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the product reaches us in the condition it was received.

Any significant damage may incur an additional fee or void the refund or exchange policy.

 

We will not process returns or refunds until we receive the original item.

​

Bespoke Returns

​

We work closely with our clients to ensure that the design of bespoke jewellery is carried through to the finished product accurately and is a true representation of the design we signed off and agreed upon together.

​

By using our bespoke service, you agree to have an item of jewellery designed and made to your own unique specifications.

For that reason, the right to cancel within 14 days for online purchases does not apply

The design was requested and approved by you prior to the final piece being made, and as long as it meets the agreed-upon specifications, you cannot return the item because you are not happy with how it looks.

​

You may be entitled to a refund or exchange;

if the product has a fault or is not of a satisfactory quality;

if the finished product bares a significant difference to the design that was agreed upon, or;

if the item is unfit for purpose.

​

If the any of the above apply, we will offer to resolve the issue by repairing or replacing the item before offering a refund, as a last resort.

Please note:  In the event that you cancel a bespoke order, the deposit is refunded at our discretion.

​

For All Jewellery Returns

​

Returns and exchanges will only be accepted from the person who completed the original purchase.

Proof of your purchase may be required.

​

You void your right to a return or exchange if you tamper with, or instruct another person to tamper with the item.

For example, in the case of fixing a fault.

​

If you fail to notice a fault when you receive your order, but notice it within 6 months of the original purchase, we will offer to repair or replace the item free of charge, unless we can prove that it was not faulty when you bought it. 

When making a claim after a period of 6 months, you should be expected to prove that the jewellery was faulty when you first received it.

​

We will pay for shipment of repaired or replaced products to customer and

customer will be responsible for return shipment of the product to us.

​

If you have any question regarding our returns procedure, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
