MY BAG (0)
Your shopping bag is empty.

We work with the British Letter ring sizing system meaning that your ring size will be a letter. We have grouped the letters together into sizes that are easier to understand: X-Small, Small, Medium, Large and  X-Large. It is important to note that your ring size does not necessarily correlate with your clothing size. You can be an X-Small clothing size and have X-Large finger. The best and most accurate way to get your finger measured is to visit your local jeweller, but we totally understand that it’s not always convenient or possible which is why we have shared a helpful sizing guide that can be printed out and used at home.

Please note that if you choose to measure your finger at home and the measurement ends up being incorrect, we cannot be held liable. Therefore, we advise you to get properly measured at your local jewellery store.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET MY PACKAGE?

All products have a tag that either says ‘Ready to Ship’ or ‘Made to Order’ . If ready to ship you will receive your order in 2-4 days, otherwise please allow 20 days to receive your order as these items are made to order.

WHAT IS THE COST OF SHIPPING?

UK shipping is free, while the EU and the rest of the world are a standard £10 for fully tracked shipping via courier.

WHEN WILL IT GET HERE?

UK shipping takes 48 hours, while the EU and the rest of the world takes 2 - 4 days (both options fully trackable via courier service). Please note that for international orders, different countries have different customs regulations. This may result in your package being held for processing, thereby affecting your delivery date. We recommend contacting your local customs office for more information.

WHAT KIND OF ADDRESS/DETAILS DO YOU NEED?

We will need your full physical address including a postal code, as well as your email address and mobile number. For orders outside of the UK, please be sure to double check your mobile number, as it is very important for the customs and delivery processes.

CUSTOMS, DUTIES & TAXES

International orders may be subject to customs or import duties and tax charges on arrival in any country outside of the UK. This cost is your responsibility, which means that you’ll be liable for any/all import charges that may be added. These charges vary between countries so we recommend contacting your local customs office for more details.

CAN YOU DELIVER TO A PO BOX?

All orders need to be signed for and therefore we cannot deliver to PO boxes, BFPO addresses or mail-forwarding addresses. Please provide a physical address at checkout to ensure a streamlined delivery process.

Unfortunately we cannot amend an order once it has been placed, but you are welcome to return your order within 14 days of purchasing. Please see our returns page for more information.

We do not have a click and collect service. Please select a delivery option at checkout.
