    MATERIALS & CARE

    Why does my gemstone look slightly different from the one shown on the website?

    Gemstones are natural materials, which means no two stones are exactly alike. Variations in color, pattern, clarity, and size are completely normal and part of what makes each piece unique. While we do our best to accurately represent our gemstones in product photos and our preview tools, slight differences may occur.

    Where should I keep my jewellery when it's not being worn?

    We recommend storing your jewellery pieces separately in soft pouches to prevent scratches, and ideally in a dry and cool place away from direct sunlight. Sterling silver oxidises when exposed to air, humidity, sweat or chemicals. Because of this, all gold-plated and sterling silver jewellery are prone to tarnishing over time.

    How can I look after my gemstones?

    Many gemstones can be softer, porous (opals) or organic (pearls), and can be easily damaged by cleaning products, hand sanitisers and chlorine.

    How can I care for my 18K Plated and Vermeil Jewellery?

    Plating will wear off with regular use over time, and scratches can be more visible on high-polish items. We would recommend avoiding showering or exercising with your jewels. Beauty products, including hand sanitiser, perfumes, creams, hairsprays etc can cause your pieces to tarnish and discolour. We recommend always put your jewellery on last when getting ready.

Kindly note, once these pieces are in production they are non-refundable as we are unable to cancel the order.

    Can I return my engraved or made-to-order item?

    Can I get an image or special characters engraved?

    We can only engrave numbers, letters, punctuation and a selected set of symbols available on the product page.

    BUY NOW, PAY LATER BY CLEARPAY

    LOCKET PERSONALISATION

    If you've added personalisation to your order, please allow up to 3-5 additional working days for completion on top of your selected delivery method. If you've selected Next Day Delivery, your order will be sent via an express service after it has been personalised.

    Can the locket photos be changed?

    The photos are not permanently secured and can be replaced. To order replacement photos for your jewellery, simply click here to locate your piece and upload a photo. The replacement photo(s) will come with instructions on how to remove and replace the existing one. It will be cut to size, however you may need to trim the photo to fit your locket perfectly and if your image is a little small, we would recommend using a little double-sided tape to secure the picture in place. Removing the image can be a bit tricky. Our top tip would be using a small piece of blue/white tack and pressing this on top of the image with your finger as this will stick to it and help with removal. Alternatively, you may use a pin or a pair of tweezers to grab the edge of the photo, but be very careful if you do opt for this method to avoid scratching the locket. Please click here for more information.

    How many photos can I add to my Locket?

    Our Locket Necklaces and Bracelets can hold upto 2 photos, to check how many photos you can add please refer to the Description on the Product Page
