How we operate
We carry a limited amount of stock including finished fine jewellery and loose diamonds and precious gemstones.
We individually craft each item and therefore each piece is individual and might slightly vary in terms of carat weight etc. to that described on the website – this will be of no material difference in terms of the value of the piece.
Product availability
Products that are ‘in stock’ will be available to purchase and you can ‘add to bag’ through the product page.
Items with the status of ‘made to order’ will be crafted upon confirmation of the order when ‘added to bag’ through the website. Our team will need to source gemstones and will promptly notify you of any significant changes in specifications compared to those provided online. Please allow up to 12 weeks for delivery.
Items with the status of ‘guide price’ and ‘one-of-a-kind’ will be bespoke commissions. Our team will source the gemstones and precious metal accordingly. Due to precious gemstone and precious metal price volatility we need to confirm a final price upon request at the time of submission of the contact form.Once price agreed we will request a 50% payment up front and 50% final payment on receipt of goods.
Items with the status ‘limited edition’ have been produced in limited numbers. Once all of the items produced are sold they will not be repeated. The amount of available limited edition products is stated on the relevant product page.
Model for purchase commitment
If requested (at a cost) we can make a silver model of the design prior to purchase commitment.This cost will be reimbursed once the full design and proceed is confirmed. It will then be deducted from the agreed final price of the commission.
Resizing
We offer resizing free of charge for 6 months post purchase. We can alter the sizes of items - whether it be the length of a pendant chain, bracelet or size of ring without issue. Please be aware that it is harder to enlarge a piece than reduce the size of the piece so our recommendation is to always chose the slightly larger size.
Our workshop expertly resizes to achieve the perfect fit. On each product page there is a detailed Sizing Guide that will guide you through the process.
Working out your size
You may already know your ring size, based on a ring you own that is a comfortable fit. Alternatively, visit a local jeweller and ask if they could kindly measure your finger. Avoid trying on a ring when your hands are cold, as your fingers may be up to half a size smaller. A ring should fit snugly on your finger but still be loose enough to remove without excessive pulling.
Buying a ring for someone else
Don't let the fear of choosing the wrong size deter you from surprising someone. If you're unsure of the correct size, we are happy to assist you in selecting an initial size, which can be adjusted later if needed, at no extra charge. In some cases, the item may need to be remade, which can take several weeks, but we will gladly advise you on the best options before you make a purchase. Additionally, we can send you a complimentary ring sizer for reference.
Necklaces
Our most popular necklace length is 18’ (46cm) – this falls just below the neck. We also have opera length necklaces which are 30’ (76cm) – this falls just below the bust. If you prefer a different chain length, we are happy to provide one upon request. Please note that this may incur an additional charge in some cases.
Bracelets
Our bracelets typically measure 7 inches (18 cm). While we can shorten most bracelets for a perfect fit. Depending on the construction of the links lengthening can be more challenging and may require creating a new bracelet. Please contact us for more information about our free alteration service.
