Things to ponder...

- We declare all customs information & values, and we are not responsible for any import duties incurred.

- We are unable to declare business transactions as 'Gifts' on international customs labels. Orders being marked as 'Gift' do not apply to the international labels, where the price and description of the package will be clearly visible for the postal service. We are however very happy to pop your lovely purchase in a box and tissue wrap it!

- Props and ring boxes displayed in the photographs are not part of the sale. I will endeavour to provide an alternative, new ring box for higher value rings. I can assure you that all items will be packaged safely and carefully for transit.

- Due to delicate nature of the stones and materials used we recommend that all jewellery is taken off prior to showering and any other strenuous activity.

- Please note some images are close ups, therefore showing the items a lot bigger than in reality, so that you can check the detail. Many of my listings have an image of an item next to a 1p coin for easier size comparisons.

- *We offer combined shipping on many of the items in the store*

- Note on shipping for the EU customers: If your order is over 22 euros you may be d your country's VAT rate and handling fee, on import.

- All our items are hand picked with love and curiosity from antique centres, car boots and auctions across England and Wales.
