Minor Variations in Goods

We take reasonable care to ensure that representations and descriptions of goods appearing on our website are accurate.

For example, the colour tone and shape of organic materials such as pearls may differ.

The labelling or packaging of the goods you receive may differ from the images of these which you see on our site.

Care and Appearance of Jewellery

You are responsible for ensuring that any jewellery we sell you does not come into contact with water or other liquids, or with perfumes, creams, oils or other substances as otherwise it may be damaged.

You acknowledge that gemstones or metals comprised within jewellery may change colour or clarity over time. This is a natural evolution of the goods and not a defect.

You acknowledge that jewellery is delicate and often utilising precious metals and stones; any jewellery you purchase from us might break if misshandled or not protected enough. Refunds will not be given if the goods have been damaged by you, this includes damage caused by inadequate packaging by you when returning goods.

Manufacturing faults do not include:

* Chipped, cracked or broken gemstones and inclusions.

* Broken chains.

* General wear and tear including jewellery that has bent out of shape or oxidised (tarnished).

* Plating or oxidised 'antique' finish that has worn off - Plating is a metal coating that is bonded electronically or chemically to a base metal to give a different colour or finish - ie. Gold Plate. You acknowledge that plating will eventually wear down over time.
