Packaging
Jewellery is carefully packed in a cardboard box that will fit through most letterboxes. All jewellery is presented in a gift box made from recycled materials. Care advice will also be included. Larger items such as hair garlands or decorative wire flowers are often packed in larger boxes that won't fit through your letterbox.

If your order doesn't arrive when you expect it

In our experience it is extremely rare for items to be delayed, however if this does happen and the item doesn't arrive when you are expecting it, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can help you to resolve the situation. Initially we will ask you to allow three weeks from your dispatch date for the item to arrive, as in our experience delayed items will usually arrive within that period. It also allows us time to investigate with delivery provider. If after this time and following investigation your order still hasn't been located then your order will be replaced or refunded.

PayPal allows you to pay in any way that you prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, buyer credit or PayPal account balances. Please note that you do not need a PayPal Account to use this payment method.
