    * Please note that the shipping costs of returning an item is the customer's responsibility.
    * Please ensure the item has not been worn, does not smell of perfume, and has not come into contact with any substances that could damage, corrode or affect the stones or metal components, such as moisturisers, hairspray, perfumes, etc.
    * Please return the item to me, UNWORN, with it's original gift packaging, wrapped carefully to prevent damage in transit.
    * Under the Distance Selling Regulations it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the item is returned safely in a 're-saleable', 'as received', condition in order to receive a full refund.

Thank you.

    Additional

    ► TAKING CARE OF YOUR JEWELLERY:
    * Your jewellery is handmade and may have delicate materials which will appreciate your gentle loving care and handling.
    * All jewellery is best stored away from heat, light, damp and chemicals.
    * Please protect your jewellery from contact with liquids that may tarnish metal, change the colour of metal, coat gemstones and weaken components over time (such as perfumes, hair sprays, moisturisers, water, etc).
    * Please don't sleep or do vigorous exercise whilst wearing jewellery as it may break, which may in turn also injure you.
    * Bracelets are especially vulnerable as they are susceptible to getting caught on jumpers, clothing, doorhandles, etc, as well as weight bearing from being rested upon. Please don't sleep in bracelets - it will damage them if you roll or lie on them, they are not meant to bear this kind of body weight, pressure and friction.
