This is our registered office address, but not our operational address, as such calling in person is not possible.
We do also have a linked business in Maidstone which we can arrange for you to collect, or exchange goods if you are local, however this does need to be by appointment.
Making a Purchase
Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.
We accept card payments. If you are shopping from North America or anywhere else, place your order and your card company will convert the transaction to US Dollars or your own currency.
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Paypal. We do not charge for any item until it is ready to ship. Backordered items are not charged until they are shipped. If you do not wish to pay online, you may also pay via telephone during normal working hours.
If you have made a mistake in your order and cannot correct it in the shopping cart, contact us and we will correct the mistake.
When confirmation of your order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.
Our website is very complex in its operation. Should a situation arise with the website, or software that causes an item price to be incorrectly calculated, or an additional product such as a chain price not to be calculated correctly when included with a product, we will not be obliged to honour the price as it would have been deemed as an obvious error. We will however contact you to advise.

Delivery Schedule
Most products are in stock for immediate delivery, however some products may have to be ordered from our suppliers, or specially made to your requests. So that you know the timescale of any product we do include an approximate dispatch time on each product. Please note that the dispatch time is the time we usually take to dispatch the product, and not the expected delivery time. You will be offered a choice of delivery speeds during the checkout process.
You must inform us within seven working days if the goods are lost or damaged in transit so that we can make a prompt claim against the delivery company and correct the problem. Please quote your order number in all correspondence.
You agree that proof of delivery supplied by our delivery company is sufficient evidence to establish that goods have been received.
Back Orders
If your item is not in stock, we will back order for you. You will always be emailed with the option to cancel your order if you would rather not wait.
Tax Charges
All advertised prices are inclusive of any UK payable taxes such as Vat.
If you are purchasing from abroad, additional taxes may be charged by your own country for any item ordered from us. We are not responsible for any additional import costs or taxes that you may incur. We would strongly advise that you look into any tax or import charges that may be charged by your own country upon receiving your order.
Credit Card Security
As a small company we do not process your credit card details on our own site. Instead we use a range of professional payment gateways that you would have encountered on other websites, who are all market leaders in payment processing.
Sage Pay www.sagepay.co.uk
Sellerdeck Payments www.sellerdeckpayments.co.uk
PayPal www.paypal.co.uk
Both Sagepay and Sellerdeck Payments act as a secure gateway between our website and our bankers, Bank of Scotland. All transactions are performed on a secure 128bit SSL server and supported by VeriSign. A padlock will also be visible in your browser when your card details are requested. This will indicate that you are protected on a secure site.
At no stage do we come into contact with your card details as neither gateway transmits this information to us, all we receive is a digital key that tells our website that your payment has either been successful, or declined.
Guarantee
All products on our website carry a twelve months manufacturer's guarantee against manufacturing faults or defects.
Our guarantee does not cover accidental or deliberate damage to any of our jewellery.
Jewellery in wear does scratch, and some materials such as silver or copper are likely to tarnish. This is considered normal with jewellery and is not a manufacturing issue. In most cases the jewellery can be returned to a new condition by either polishing or cleaning and is considered to be an expected maintenance task to be undertaken by the customer.

Returns Policy
Your rights to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive.
You are entitled to cancel your order and return the goods within 14 working days for a full refund, including the cost of any compulsory delivery charges, but excluding any postal upgrades which are the client's choice. Do this by contacting us by email or telephone and quoting the order number supplied to you. Your refund will be paid within 30 days. You are responsible for the cost and risk of loss or damage when returning the goods, so you should take out enough postal insurance to cover their value. This cancellation policy does not affect your rights when we are at fault - for example, if goods are faulty or misdescribed.
*Although we legally have to state 14 working days for returns, we do actually have a policy of 30 calendar days.
*Although we have to legally state refunds will be processed within 30 working days, in reality they are usually only 1 to 2 days, if not the same day.
Refunds will only be made to the named purchaser who placed the order, and will only be paid back to the same payment source, either being the same credit or debit card, or the same Paypal account. If the item was received as a gift, then we can arrange a credit note or voucher instead.
Several times a year we do close for holidays, this can cause a slight delay on refunds, however you will be aware of this in advance with either a notice in the shopping cart at the time of order, or a message on your invoice upon receipt of your order. We will always extend your returns period by the length of our closure so as not to disadvantage you returning goods.
Any goods returned should be in saleable condition, and not personalised or engraved.
Refunds
Returns Policy your rights to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive.
30 Days Return Policy
You are legally entitled to cancel your order and return the goods within 14 working days for a full refund by law; we have extended this above the legal requirement to 30 days allowing you ample time to decide if an item is suitable for you. This does exclude engraved items and custom made products.
Christmas extended returns policy

Specially made rings, or engraved rings
