How do I know the transaction is secure?
Look at your browser web address, it should start https://. Also look for the symbol at the foot of your browser screen.
Note this only applies at the point of the credit card data transaction.

In What Currency will my Credit Card be Billed?
If you do not have a £Sterling credit card, then the charge will be converted to your local currency at the current exchange rate by your card provider.

What about limited stock items (for instance, Heirloom pieces)?
Many of our items are unique, most particularly the Heirloom Tiaras and Jewellery. These are sold on a strictly first come, first served basis. Once sold the site is updated to reflect the current stock. We will refund payments or offer alternatives of any item in the event that it is already sold.

What if the goods are damaged in transit?
No problem, all shipments are traceable and insured. If they fail to arrive or are damaged in transit then let me know immediately and, subject to the carriers confirmation I will replace or repair as necessary. Note I will require return of any damaged items.

Returning Items
We hope that you are delighted with your purchase, but in the event that you are not happy with your jewellery, we will accept returns within 7 days of your receipt of the item, and as long as the item is in original and unworn condition with explanation - you should contact us first to let us know that you are returning the item so we know we are expecting it (to ensure we are here to accept and sign for the item) and returns must be made via Special Delivery/Recorded Delivery or overseas signed for service at your cost (ie, by the method by which we mailed the item originally) as we cannot be responsible for items until they are signed for.

We are sorry but we do not accept the return of special order items
- items that have been specially made or sized for instance, or items that have been made to the customers specifications and requirements, and unfortunately we are unable to refund on pierced earring fittings, due to EU Hygiene regulations - in the case where you wish to return earrings, we will need to make a charge for new fittings for the earrings, before they are offered for resale on the site.

Postage and packing fees are not refundable.

Refunds will be made by the same method of your original payment, ie, if you paid by cheque, the refund will be by cheque.

If in Doubt...

Please ask - we don't bite! (Honestly!)

How do I order online?
Select the product page, any option and the quantity then just click onto the button. The item will then be added to your cart. You will then be able to change the quantity or delete the item. You can view the cart at any time either from the navigation bar.
Top

What happens after I have ordered?
You will receive an e-mail invoice based upon your choice of payment method. Once payment is cleared I will confirm the details of your order and delivery; we can finalise colours and delivery dates at this point.
Top

Is shipping included in the prices?
No, in order to offer the best value, shipping costs are calculated based upon the weight and shipping zone.
Top

How is shipping calculated?
The total weight of the cart is used to calculate the postage dependent upon the shipping zone.
Top

How long will delivery take?
I will confirm delivery to you. For Heirloom pieces which are reasy to go, tihs this will normally be immediately upon receipt of cleared funds; for special order pieces, please allow up to 6 weeks for delivery of your order. If you need a rush order, please contact me before ordering and we can perhaps work round this..
Top

Why do some items not have a choice of quantity?
Many of the component pieces that I use in the designs are antique or vintage, ie limited availability and therefore it is not possible to exactly replicate a particular piece.
Top

What if I can't find what I am looking for?
I am always happy to work with you to achieve your exact requirements, please enquire using the contact details.

What are Signature or Heirloom Collection Items?

Signature Pieces There are certain 'core' pieces which seem to be loved - by myself in making them and at the same time by my customers, who seem to request these pieces over and over again - I adore making new things, but equally there is nice feeling to there being a continuity in certain pieces, and so my 'Signature Pieces' are items of jewellery which have endured, and should be available long term on the site - perhaps you want one for yourself and later on one for a friend, no problem, unless I run out of stuff, these pieces should generally always be available for purchase. As these pieces are made to order, please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery.

Heirloom Pieces are tiaras or jewellery which are made with a vintage or antique focal point - a brooch or necklace, or multiple pieces of vintage jewellery. Because of the vagaries of vintage jewellery supply, most of these pieces are true one-of-a-kinds and can never be repeated - this means that once its gone, its gone; if you should see a piece that is now sold please do ask if it is possible to make something similar - it will not be the same, but I may be able to work with you on this.
