6.8 Bespoke Jewellery

Blacklock Jewellery also offers a Bespoke commission service ('Bespoke Jewellery') where Clients work exclusively with our design team to create bespoke fine jewellery items. 

6.8.1 General

6.8.1.1 The creation of Bespoke Orders will be undertaken in full confidence and discretion of the person ordering the commission. From time to time, we may request that the design is recreated for further sales and marketing purposes – this will be undertaken in full knowledge of the person that has placed the order.

6.8.1.2 The design and all rights associated with it are still owned by Blacklock Jewellery, however files of all the final designs associated with the piece created are passed over to the individual that has commissioned the design once full payment is received. At all points until this moment the files are owned by Blacklock Jewellery. If these files are shared by the person requesting the commission with a competitor (within the bespoke jewellery / jewellery sector) we will look to act.

6.8.1.3 We do not allow the individual who has commissioned the piece to market / sell the product as their own.

6.8.1.4 An estimate of the cost of undertaking the Bespoke Order will be given at any stage that the client requests. The estimate approximates the cost of the job being undertaken and is based upon similar previous jobs and the cost of the precious metals, diamonds and gemstones being used.

6.8.1.5 We will not be held to this price as the confirmed finished price. A quotation will be issued when the finished design is approved. We will however hold this price for seven days from the date that the quotation is issued due to the fluctuation of prices of precious metals, diamonds and gemstones.

6.8.1.6 Bespoke Orders require a 50% deposit on approval of the design and confirmation of the order. The remaining 50% is paid upon delivery.

6.8.1.7 All Bespoke Orders are payable by BACS transfer, details of which will be confirmed at point of Order confirmation.

6.8.1.8 Production and delivery timescale of Bespoke Orders are dependent on complexity of the piece commissioned. We estimate an average time frame of 5-7 weeks from start to delivered item received.

6.8.2 Estimates, Quotations and Order Processing

6.8.2.1 Estimates are approximate calculations for the cost of undertaking an order. At no stage is Blacklock Jewellery liable to uphold an estimate.

6.8.2.2 A quotation from Blacklock Jewellery formalises a previous estimate which confirms the current market price for your order. Once a quotation is received you are required to confirm in writing via email or letter that the quotation is approved before production can proceed. We will only commence work once we have received this as written confirmation.

6.8.2.3 Quotations that are provided by us are valid for one month only; after this time, we will re-quote since the price of jewellery-based commodities (such as diamonds, gemstones and precious metals) is liable to change.

6.8.2.4 We determine in our sole discretion whether to proceed or not with any Bespoke Order.

6.8.2.5 Should the order not be accepted by us, Blacklock Jewellery will return the loose gemstones, diamonds or jewellery by the same method of delivery receipt free of charge.

6.9 Refresh and Reset Service

6.9.1 Blacklock Jewellery also offers a Refresh and Reset service whereby old, treasured pieces of jewellery are redesigned using the original component parts (gemstones or diamonds). The key component parts are then made into a new piece of jewellery. We reserve the right to not accept and proceed with this service upon inspection of the original item presented to us by the Client. 

6.9.2 Blacklock Jewellery will return the loose gemstones, diamonds or jewellery by the same method of delivery receipt free of charge. 

6.9.3 The Client accepts the liability when they enter into agreeing to proceed with such a service and do not hold Blacklock Jewellery liable in relation to the state of the gemstones, diamonds or jewellery upon inspection.

6.9.4 The Client accepts that once this service commences then the original piece of jewellery cannot be supplied back in its original form – Blacklock jewellery has no liability in this instance.
