Even the most robust jewellery is subject to damage. Precious metals & gemstones, even diamonds, can become scratched so take care when performing heavy duty work - sound crazy? Mucking out horses & gardening for example!! It is also advisable to remove jewellery when retiring for bed.

To keep your jewellery looking like new, take it off when using cleaning chemicals.

Store unworn jewellery in jewellery box or pouch to prevent oxidation (silver) and other pieces of jewellery scratching the surface.

Wash in warm soapy water & buff with a jewellery cloth. Special care will be issued with any treated stone

Please note that - unless otherwise stated - all of my pieces are made to order and so you should allow up 2 weeks for standard items where I hold stock &5- 6 weeks where design consultation & possibly hallmarking (UK legal requirement on silver & gold above certain weights)

These time scales are not definite as in hand fabrication - there can be mishaps outside of my control - damage to a stone, customs delay, hallmarking delay etc - nature of the handmade beast unfortunately - I will keep in regular contact regarding time-scales & will indicate if there will be a longer lead time.

If you don’t know your ring size, it's best to go into a shop and try on some rings for size. My ring gauge measures in UK, USA & continental sizes. Please make sure that you issue me with your size accurately an as customer orders are non refundable. Rings can be sized up. Generally up to about a whole size. However, if they are set with a gem & need to be sized down the whole fabrication process needs to be repeated!

If you are ordering a wider band (over 4mm), make sure to try on an equal width ring as generally they need a bigger size!
