Terms & Conditions

Please read our Terms and Conditions carefully before using this site.

All prices quoted are Australian Dollars.

No goods will be despatched until full payment has been confirmed as received.

We believe that we accurately describe the products in our online store and that the photos of our individual pieces of jewellery, accessories, apparel and leather goods display the colour with a reasonable degree of accuracy.  However, the colour that you see on your computer screen depends on a number of factors including the colour quality and settings of the computer screen that you are using.  Also, our stones and pearls may reflect different colours depending on the light.

Please note that a lot of our sterling silver is hand made and therefore you should expect variations that are inherent in jewellery that is not mass produced. We believe that such variations enhance the natural beauty of our sterling silver jewellery.

Postage and Delivery

We use Australia Post or Sendle to deliver your purchases. We charge a flat rate of $10.00 for postage anywhere within Australia. Customers who spend $100 or more in one transaction can enjoy free shipping, except of times when we offer “free shipping” deals.
