Delivery & Returns

Delivery

Most pieces are in stock. Delivery through the post is approximately 1 to 5 working days in the UK. Some items have their own timescale, shown on the product page, and anything made to order is quoted individually. If something is going to take longer than expected, we will email you.

United Kingdom

  • £8.00 for orders under £100, Royal Mail Recorded Signed For
  • £12.00 for orders over £100, Royal Mail Special Delivery, insured
  • £1.50 First Class for our Ring Sizer Gauge

Free UK Special Delivery on all orders over £170, automatically added at checkout.

Special Delivery is signed for and guaranteed before 1pm the following working day. Recorded Signed For requires a signature but is not guaranteed for next day delivery. We accept no liability where Royal Mail fails to deliver, but will do our utmost to trace all parcels we send.

International

International delivery starts at £25 to Europe and £35 to the rest of the world. Some destinations cost more to send to securely and insured. If yours does, we will contact you before dispatch and you can either pay the difference or cancel for a full refund.

Delivery times vary by destination and are dictated by the delivery company. Any customs charges or import duties are the responsibility of the recipient.

Collection from the gallery

You are welcome to order online and collect from the workshop and gallery at The Old Castle Hotel, 113 Rhosmaen Street, Llandeilo. Choose this option at checkout. Orders are usually ready within 24 to 48 hours, and we will contact you if anything is different.

Some people prefer this for a surprise, because it means the parcel never arrives in front of the person it is for.

Packaging

Every piece is presented in a designer box with a decorative ribbon, then sealed inside a padded envelope or outer box for posting. A gift bag can be added through the Gift Wrapping option at checkout.

Nothing we send out carries the word jewellery on the outside, and the sender name is kept short and plain, so a gift never announces itself before it arrives.

Returns and exchanges

We hope you will love your purchase, but if something is not right, please return it within 14 working days, unworn and in its original packaging. We will be happy to exchange or refund.

We will always try to find a suitable alternative first, but if nothing suits, a refund will be given. The original delivery charge is not refunded unless the goods are faulty or were incorrectly supplied.

Pieces made specifically to commission, and anything altered or engraved to your requirements, cannot be returned unless faulty, due to their individual nature.

If you are unsure what will suit, a gift voucher is often the better option, and we are happy to talk through the choice before you buy.

RETURNS

We hope that all our customers will love their purchases and endeavour to supply the highest quality goods and service, but in the unlikely event that you need to return an item we operate a simple returns policy.

We are happy to refund payment against items returned 14 days from purchase.

Items need to be returned in all their original packaging with proof of purchase or gift certificate and we will be happy to exchange or refund. Bespoke items cannot be exchanged unless the piece is defective or faulty. Regrettably, items customised by engraved, embossed or soldered cannot be refunded unless they are defective or faulty.

When returning items you are strongly recommended to obtain proof of posting. We cannot accept responsibility for parcels lost in transit.

A prompt refund of the price of the goods will be issued once all the information referred to above is received. The credit card used for the original purchase will be credited with the original price. If there are any problems with your refund, a member of our team will contact you.

For all returns, except where the item is faulty or defective, or is dispatched to you in error by us, you will be required to arrange and pay for the return of the products to us.

We have made every effort to convey the products as accurately as possible. Products have been described with sizes and lengths where appropriate and accurate colour options. As every item is hand made to order there will be slight variations from item to item. Colours and images may vary slightly according to the device/monitor that they are viewed on. If the piece is not as expected when viewed then the customer will be required to cover the cost of returning items.

We cannot accept responsibility for items damaged in transit to us and for this reason we would recommend that items are sent Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes an insurance provision. Proof of posting will not be accepted as proof of delivery.

Items which have been damaged through misuse will not be refunded.

DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT(S)

All our products are extensively inspected prior to delivery. We cannot guarantee that damage will not occur during delivery. In the event of any item(s) being damaged upon receipt please contact the gallery on +44(0)1558 660001 and we will arrange for a replacement item. Subject to any specific warranties we offer in relation to particular products, or those which are implied by law, we do not offer any warranty or guarantee on our products. If the Product(s) are found to be defective (through no fault of your own wearing or use), we will repair or replace the Product(s) or refund the price paid by you, including any delivery charges you paid, provided that you have not worn or used and damaged the Product(s). If you would prefer repair or replacement of the Product(s) please contact us and we will replace the item at no extra charge to you where this is reasonably practicable.

In addition we will either refund the cost of the return of the item to us by you or send you a prepaid parcel which you can use to return the damaged or defective item to us.
