Do you offer a repairs or resizing service? How do I get my items safely repaired?

  • We do not currently offer a repairs or resizing service. Be sure to leave your chosen jewellery shop/repairs provider with a receipt that specifies as many details of your jewellery items as possible, including the type of metal, the length of any chains, the weight of the piece, the size and type of any gemstones, a "map" of any diamonds, any flaws or imperfections, and the insured value if known.

Can I sleep in my Sterling Silver jewellery?

  • It is not a good idea to sleep in fancy earrings or necklaces. This can potentially dent or bend earrings, and even cause stretching of chains.

Is our jewellery genuine sterling silver? 

  • All our products come from ethical suppliers and artisans. All items are guaranteed to be a minimum of 925 Sterling Silver (92.5 parts in 1000) unless otherwise stated. Some items carry a full Uk Hallmark while others are stamped 925, due to the size or delicate nature of some of our designs. This is in compliance the UK Hallmarking laws and regulations.
