Orders In Store

Items purchased in store have different terms to those orders made online. These do not affect your statutory rights.

Complimentary Ring Sizing

Don’t panic if your ring is too large or too small! Your first sizing, at any time during the first year, is complimentary to ensure a perfect fit.  However, to guarantee you are able to return the ring to us for refund or exchange, we suggest sizing is carried out after the item has been received.  Please note that our Bespoke rings and gemstones are unique, one or a kind; some rings may not be able to be sized where there is a large difference in the current size to the new size.

You can return the ring to our boutique in Wimbledon Village where we will measure for the correct finger size and re-size in our on-site workshop. A simple ring sizing (i.e. up or down a  size) will be turned around as soon as we possibly can normally at most this may be a few days. More complex sizings, on intricate rings can take longer and we will advise at the time of your visit.
