5 out of 5 starsBeautiful earrings, well made, and exactly as advertised. The delivery was so much faster than expected and Cheryl sent me an update along with tracking details as soon as my order was dispatched. The care taken in wrapping and packaging my order, which came with a hand-written message, was such a lovely addition. Cannot recommend enough =0)

Frequently asked questions
Sizing details
IMPORTANT: Some images are enlarged to show detail so please carefully check item size & descriptions including size reference images before ordering. Where variations apply simply select the preferred option during checkout e.g. UK ring size.
RING SIZING TIPS:
It is important to confirm your ring size at a jewellers before ordering. Please do not guess the size as re-sizing may be chargeable. Ideally compare a few measurements as finger size fluctuates throughout the day. Size can vary depending if it's a narrow or wide band ring. Flared spinning rings are sized using internal diameter at the inner curve. Please contact me if you need further information on sizing before ordering.
Care instructions
CARE TIPS: To keep your jewellery looking its best:-
Polish occasionally with a silver polishing cloth.
Avoid contact with chemicals, hairspray, perfume.
Store in an airtight place to reduce tarnish.
Take care not to snag jewellery when dressing and check for gradual wear and tear.
Oxidised finish can fade overtime so please avoid using jewellery cleaning solutions to help preserve any surface patina.

All jewellery designs are intended for use as a decorative fashion accessory. It is recommended to remove before sleeping/sports. Items may contain small parts so store out of reach of children and babies.
All transactions are subject to UK law.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Jewellery items include a small white re-usable storage bag and a pretty handmade pillow style cardboard gift box, (style may vary).

Buyers outside the UK, who mark their purchase as a gift, please be aware that the item value will be visible on the outer Customs Declaration Label to legally comply with customs regulations, should they apply to your country.
Outer packaging is a small cardboard pip box placed inside a biodegradable waterproof mailing bag. (To help the environment approx 90% of the packaging is recyclable.) For security the outer mailing bag is plain.
Custom and personalised orders
I am unable to carry out bespoke requests at this time, however there may be items featured in my shop that offer custom variations e.g. choice of ring/bangle size. Simply select your required option if available at checkout. Please note custom requests are non-refundable.
Processing & Shipping turn around times.
It is the buyers's responsibility to order well in advance if items are needed by a certain deadline, especially if overseas or during a seasonal rush. It is essential to double-check processing/dispatch times before purchase as these can vary depending on time of year, especially if 'made to order'.
I use Royal Mail delivery service. Beyond the point of shipping I entrust Royal Mail to deliver your order safely within reasonable time. Once a parcel is in transit within the postal network I'm unable to intervene. I cannot be responsible for delay where no-one is available to sign for it. Very occasionally, unavoidable factors may delay a parcel from reaching you in the expected time-frame e.g. bad weather, postal strikes, or cyber issues.
Customer Service Queries
Being a small handmade business my customers are extremely important. I strive to ensure the very best service in order to provide buyers with a great shopping experience. Please contact me in the first instance with any queries about your order and I'll be happy to help. I aim to respond to enquiries within a few hours - subject to time zones.
