By visiting our site and/or purchasing something from us, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions.
No person under the age of 18 years may purchase Goods. If you are under 18, please confer with an adult to make your purchase.
Our store is hosted on Square Space. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

We may change these terms from time to time. The terms that apply to you are those posted here on Our Website on the day you order Goods.
If in future, you buy Goods from us under any arrangement which does not involve your payment via Our Website, these terms still apply.

If you use the website, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for preventing any unauthorised person from using your account.

We reserve the right to refuse you access to Our Website at any time.
Our Products
We do our best to ensure the images of the Products give you a good indication of what they look like in person. However, please note that images are for illustrative purposes only. Although we make every effort to display Products accurately, as they are handmade, it is not always possible to accurately reflect colour, size, dimensions and texture through digital displays on web browsers. Your Products therefore may vary slightly from the images displayed on our Website.
Ordering Products
Products bought from our Website that are made to order will take approximately 4-6 weeks to be produced and delivered to you. However lead times may vary from product to product due to the availability of the materials used.
Once your order has been placed, products will be placed into production almost immediately. Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel your order, as once products have been placed into production, cancellations will not be possible.
We can also make the majority of our jewellery in solid Silver and will branch out to other materials like gold plating later on and Our Website and Newsletter will reflect that when we do.
Prices and Payment
We endeavour to keep prices of Goods updated and accurate, though from time to time there may be inaccuracies or changes to price. Changes to price will not affect any order you have already placed. Prices for our Goods are subject to change without notice.
It is always possible that Goods on our Website may be incorrectly priced. In this case, we will not send your order until you have confirmed that you accept the new price or if you wish to cancel your order.
Banking charges by the receiving bank on payments to us will be absorbed by us. All other charges relating to payment in a currency other than Great British Pounds will be absorbed by you.
The Price of a product includes UK VAT (where applicable).
The Price of a Product does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges will be advised during the checkout process, before you place your order.
We accept all major credit and debit cards, which are clearly shown at the checkout. We also accept payment via PayPal. When selecting the PayPal option at checkout, you will be directed to the PayPal site to review the amount, before completing the transaction and being returned to our Website.
You confirm that the payment method used is yours or that you have been specifically authorised by the owner to use it. All credit/debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.
If any product is out of stock, you will be refunded in full.
Delivery
As all items are subject to being hand made by our Belgian artisans, please allow 2 weeks time for full delivery completion.
We endeavour to dispatch goods within that time frame, however, during busy periods dispatch may take slightly longer. We ship all orders through registered, recorded delivery, and are happy to help with any urgent delivery requests.
Please ensure that someone is present to accept and sign for your delivery.
Goods are sent at our risk until signed for by you or by any other person at the address you have given to us. We will send you a message by email to tell you when we have dispatched your order, also providing details to track your order.
We cannot be held responsible for delays caused by delivery services.
