Exceptions to Returns

Except for defects in manufacturing, we are unable to process returns relating to earrings for pierced ears or any other form of intimate body jewellery because of the close contact it has with the body.
Specially commissioned pieces and bespoke items are not subject to our returns policy. Your statutory rights are not affected.

For your guidance before making returns

All our pieces are designed to sustain normal light wear. The individual links are generally not soldered so will not sustain unreasonable force. For this reason we will not accept back items simply because of a snapped link as this would suggest considerable force not consistent with simply wearing a necklace, bracelet etc.

Many of the materials we use are individually handmade such as the Hilltribe individually embossed and cut linked chain, Bali Silver Beads are individually crafted by silver artisans, the gemstones we use are natural materials and as such subject to natural inclusions and variances in colour and cut, and many of our glass beads (particularly the foil-lined) are also handcrafted in small quantites and again subject to slight variation. Variations in machine manufactured items are usually considered faults, but the variations above are not faults but the result of hand crafting and/or natural materials.

Please note that whilst every effort has been made to closely reproduce the colours of the pieces of our jewellery we are limited to how the products are represented in the images displayed on your computer screen.
