Warranty, Exchange policy and Change of mind

WARRANTY POLICY

Jewellery purchased from our online store comes with a 12 month warranty from the date of purchase.  This covers manufacturing faults and defects.  It does not cover accidental breakage and general wear and tear, such as scratched, tarnished or faded jewellery.

If another jeweller undertakes work on one of our pieces, including resizing or repairs, our warranty will be voided. 

Please note, fine jewellery is delicate and should be handled carefully.  Take care of your jewellery with a soft cloth and avoid contact with strong chemicals, cleaning products, water, creams, and perfumes. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding care or more specific material details.
