The labelling or packaging of the goods you receive may differ from the images of these which you see on our site.
Care and Appearance of Jewellery
You are responsible for ensuring that any jewellery we sell you does not come into contact with water or other liquids, or with perfumes, creams, oils or other substances as otherwise it may be damaged.
You acknowledge that gemstones or metals comprised within jewellery may change colour or clarity over time. This is a natural evolution of the goods and not a defect.
