Warranty, Exchange policy and Change of mind

Corky Saint Clair jewellery is made by hand, in house, so there will be inherent quirks and natural imperfections due to the way products are crafted. Please be sure to select your items carefully, as we can only offer refunds in the case that a product is faulty.

We do not offer exchanges on custom work, anything that has been built to order or resized.

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.

Exchange
We offer exchanges for two weeks after the purchase date. Longer periods can be negotiated at the time of purchase. Reach out to our sales staff to see if we can help you.

To be eligible for an exchange, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging. 

To complete your exchange, we require a receipt or proof of purchase.
