Returns and resizing

Send anything back unworn within 30 days, in its box, and we refund it in full. We cannot take back engraved pieces, or earrings once they have been worn.

Rings are resized free for a year. If you are unsure of your size, choose the free sizer when you order and we hold your ring until you tell us.

Presents

Tick "Is it a present?" at checkout and we wrap it in linen with a handwritten card for €4, and can leave the prices off the packing slip. Whoever receives it can swap it for anything else for 60 days, unworn.

Find your ring size on screen

Screens differ in size, so first make the card below match a real bank card. Then lay a ring you already wear on the circle and grow it until the circle just fills the inside of the ring.

Looking after gold

Put jewellery on last, after perfume, cream and hairspray, and take vermeil off to swim, shower or exercise. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth and keep pieces apart so they do not scratch each other.

Pearls should never be soaked: wipe them with a damp cloth and let them dry flat. When vermeil eventually wears, we replate it for €20.
