How do I know my ring size?
When choosing a specific ring size, we recommend being professionally sized at your local jewellers. If you can’t visit them and have ring that fits you already, you can use our Ring Size Guide or visit us at one of our upcoming markets.
The item I want is sold out or unavailable in my size.
Since I handmake every piece, I can often re-create sold out pieces or make them in your size. Just get in touch and I’ll do my best to help.
Do you offer Custom Orders?
Yes, we do offer custom orders. To start the conversation, all we ask is to make contact with us via email. Then we can start the process of creating your one-of-a-kind-piece.
Do you offer a warranty on your jewellery?
We want you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase, and offer a 90 day manufacturing warranty on our jewellery. If anything about your order is less than perfect, please contact us straight away, with a picture of your jewellery, order number and receipt number and we will be happy to sort it out for you.
Please note warranty does not cover neglect, wear and tear, lost items, bent items, accidental damage, tarnish, contact with chemical substances such as, but not limited to, creams, perfumes, oils, chlorine, cleaning products or acidic skin types which may cause discolouration. Scratches are not considered a manufacturing defect as they occur with everyday wear.
What metal is your jewellery made from?
The metals we use are two of the nine precious metals - Silver and Gold.
Our Silver is 100% recycled sterling silver (.925) and our gold is conflict-free 9ct and 14ct varieties.
We also offer 14ct gold-filled. Gold-filled is made by heat and pressure bonding a thin layer of gold to a brass core. The 1/20 notation refers to the ratio of karat gold to brass core by weight, which is 5%.
- Karat gold covers the brass surface, making it tarnish resistant.
- The value of gold-filled is greater than gold-plated since gold-filled metal has a layer of karat gold, not just a microscopic plating.
Are your gemstones real?
Most of our gemstones are naturally occurring and all are ethically sourced.
We do offer some man-made gemstones but this will be made clear in the description.
What currency is your pricing in?
All of our prices are listed in AUD (Australian Dollars)
