Payment
Online payments are all through PayPal, you don't need a PayPal account to order, payments can be made via Visa, Mastercard or Switch using their secure checkout process. All prices are quoted in pounds sterling (£), but you can see the price in your approximate currency by selecting the flag at the top right of the screen. Items will be posted once payment is cleared. Please bare in mind if paying by e-cheque that this will add at least 3 to 5 days onto my processing times as I do not process sales until payment is cleared.
No order will be deemed to constitute a contract of sale irrespective of the manner of its transmission to the Seller until the Goods are despatched by the Seller. An order can be cancelled and refunded if unable to supply goods or for any other reason without notice.
Prices
The price payable shall be that displayed at the time of ordering. No additional charges are added. All prices are firm and non-negotiable. If an item is incorrectly priced I retain the right to refund and cancel without prior notice.
All Prices are Displayed in GBP UK Pounds. All Orders are paid in GBP UK Pounds. An approximate Currency Convertor is available on every product page prior to checkout just select your flag at the top of the page.
Postage & Packaging
I package all jewellery in a gift box and with an explanatory leaflet inside explaining the stone's folkelore and care instructions. I post all jewellery in boxes via standard 2nd class post or airmail. Postage and Packaging is from £1.50 per parcel to UK mainland and from £3 for international orders. The size of your order and/or weight will effect this cost, the total delivery cost will be seen at PayPal checkout. If you select economy packaging no gift box or leaflet will be included.
Delivery Schedule
I am a one woman business and have a turnaround time of 3 to 5 days to prepare items ready for shipping. All items are sent via Royal Mail Second Class post or Airmail dependent upon weight and order value and destination. If an item is very heavy a courier firm may be used. All items are sent untracked due to the high cost of tracking in the UK. You must inform me within 7 working days if goods are lost or damaged in transit so that I can send out a replacement or refund. By placing an order with me, you agree that proof of delivery supplied by Royal Mail is sufficient evidence to establish that goods have been received.
International post takes 2 to 6 weeks to arrive depending on your country's postal service and customs. UK post takes up to 2 weeks to arrive (though will usually arrive within 3 working days).
Returns Policy
Your satisfaction is important to me. If you have cause to return your order, please take note of the return information provided below. Please note: 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 7 working days for a full refund, excluding the cost of delivery. Do this by contacting me by email. Your refund will be paid within 30 days. An exception to this is custom orders made especially for you so please be sure of your order, as once you pay you cannot cancel. You are responsible for the cost and risk of loss or damage when returning the goods, so please make sure to take out enough postal insurance to cover their value. This cancellation policy does not affect your rights when I am at fault - for example, if goods are faulty or misdescribed. Any goods must be returned in saleable condition. These terms apply to an order placed at this time. I reserve the right to change our terms and conditions at any time, so please do not assume that the same terms will automatically apply in the future.
Please note - Items must be returned in a box and padded envelope or postal box. Items must also be returned in their original condition for refunds/cancelled orders. I am not liable for items lost or damaged further during transit of returns caused by poor packaging or 3rd party postal errors. Return postage is the buyers responsibility.
INTERNATIONAL PACKAGES MUST BE DESCRIBED "RETURNED MERCHANDISE" ON CUSTOMS FORM UNDER DESCRIPTION AND WRITTEN ON ENVELOPE/BOX IN LARGE LETTERS. Customs charges are high in the UK so this not following these instructions may negate any refund eligible.
