SECTION 6 - AMENDMENTS TO TERMS
We may update our published terms and conditions from time to time. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are aware of any changes to this policy.  If you have any further question about our terms and conditions, please contact us.

SECTION 7 - DELIVERY TIMES
Whilst I maintain a small stock of the most popular jewellery pieces, typically each piece of handmade jewellery is made-to-order and will usually be dispatched within 10-15 working days.
However all pieces will be dispatched as soon as possible. If there is a delay for any other reason we will contact you.

You will be able to keep up-to-date on the progress of your order using a link including with your order confirmation. You will receive confirmation by email once your jewellery has been dispatched. 

However should you urgently need an item for a certain date or special occasion please contact us prior to order and we will do our utmost to get the item to you by the required date.

SECTION 8 - DELIVERY COSTS
Your order will be sent by Royal Mail tracked as standard. This service requires a signature on delivery. 

Gift wrapping is available upon request. If you would like your piece gift wrapped, please contact us for more details.

 Deliveries outside of the UK will be sent via a tracked delivery service. Delivery times for international orders will vary. EU and non-EU parcels require a customs form to be attached. Please be aware that international customers may be required to pay custom duties as determined by local customs authorities and we are unable to provide details of what these charges may be.

SECTION 9 - DAMAGED ITEMS
If you should receive an item that is defective, damaged or not what you ordered, please contact us within 5 working days and provide an image of the damaged goods.

We will help you resolve any issues as quickly as possible by replacing the item and arrange for you to return the faulty item to us by post. 

Should this occur, we will cover additional delivery costs and re-arrange delivery of a new replacement item. We will confirm the return address in writing, once you have contacted us about the fault.

If you suspect a parcel has been damaged in post, please open the parcel in the presence of the Courier upon receipt of the goods.
This will allow you to verify that the Goods are contained in the parcel are untampered with and undamaged.
Should you fail to do this, and subsequently find the Goods are not contained therein, or have been damaged during delivery, we may not be able to claim against the Courier or against our insurers.

Accordingly, if you do fail to do this, you agree that you will be solely liable for any such loss or damage and shall waive, release and indemnify us from and against any claims relating thereto, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 10 - LOST AND LATE DELIVERIES
If your delivery has been delayed, then please contact us and we will provide you with the tracking number to enable you to locate it with Royal Mail or the appropriate international postal service.

UK Delivery - We unfortunately cannot refund or replace lost items until 20 working days after the date of dispatch (30 days for international items) as this is when the Royal Mail classes items as being lost.

International delivery - When items are sent to another country, your parcel is handled by more than one postal service. The actual delivery of the item will be the responsibility of the postal service in the country the items are going to. Delays can often be caused by customs checks, which can sometimes take up to 1-2 weeks.

Items not received but tracked as being delivered - This frequently happens when items are delivered to places of work. In some cases, your item might have been delivered to a post room or colleague within your company and someone else will have signed for it.

You can check the signature of the person that has signed for the parcel, by entering your tracking number on the Royal Mail website. Please note that we do not refund or replace items that are tracked as being delivered.

For this reason, we always recommend that you get items delivered to your home address as we cannot be held responsible for goods that are lost or delayed in transit.

SECTION 11 - PRODUCTS OR SERVICES (if applicable)
