Customers are responsible for return shipping, customs duties, taxes, and insurance costs associated with the return shipment.
Refunds are processed in the original invoiced currency, and final amounts may vary slightly due to exchange rate fluctuations.

All jewellery pieces are custom made-to-order and therefore cannot be cancelled, refunded, or exchanged once production has begun. Deposits are non-refundable.

If your item arrives with a manufacturing fault or differs significantly from the approved design, we will work with you to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
