GENERAL INFO AND T&Cs
01
Bespoke Creations
All bespoke creations require a consultation.
These are booked in via Zoom or in person at a fee of £20. For those who have small simple requests via Instagram or via creative markets that prefer not to have a full consult, a surcharge of £10 is added for mini designs.
​In order to proceed with your order, a 50% deposit* is required (even when customizing your own crystals or repurposing Heirloom jewellery), before work starts. The balance is due on completion before your order is posted out/collected.
​
*This is unless an alternative payment plan has been discussed and agreed prior to work starting. All consult/deposit fees are non-refundable. This is to cover the cost of design, gemstone sourcing & material costs.
​​
​
Bespoke Lead Times
The current lead time for orders is 4-6 weeks from when the deposit is received but should this change, it will be communicated to you. If you are having engagement or wedding jewellery created this lead time with vary to suit your proposal/wedding date.
​
​
Hallmarking
I have a legal requirement for all precious metals over a certain weight to be sent to an Assay Office for Hallmarking. If your jewellery requires hallmarking this will be communicated to you, you will be able to choose between the Standard or Next day service and the cost will be included in your final balance. You can also request to have hallmarking even if your metal weight is under the legal weight.
02
Crystal Re-Crafted
One of the things I enjoy most, is when you send your favourite crystals or heirloom jewellery to be turned into jewellery or repurposed! This is how CrystalREcrafted was born!
Whether it’s turning your favourite Labradorite into a pendant or wanting to turn an heirloom piece into something completely different, the options are endless but please do bear in mind that I do not hold responsibility for your crystals/jewellery, only the settings created for them.
​
I capture photos/videos of all creations and will use them accordingly as part of my portfolio. Should you choose to share images online in any capacity, I do ask that you tag either my Instagram handle (@crystal_crafted_jewellery) or my website (www.crystalcraftedjewellery.co.uk) as acknowledgement of the creative process of Crystal Crafted.
03
Measurement Info
Rings
I strongly encourage that if you are having a ring made, you purchase a sizer from here to ensure an accurate measurement. When you put the sizer on, be sure that it is not too tight or lose. Our bodies naturally fluctuate throughout the day. Avoid taking your measurements if your hands are particularly cold or clammy.
If you would prefer to check your ring size without a sizer (which is the most accurate method), then please refer to this chart for guidance.
​​​
​
Bangles/Bracelets/Cuffs
To measure for a bangle, you will need to measure your hand at the widest part. Not your wrist as it needs to fit over your hand. Please be sure to use a dresser's measuring tape for this and remember to tuck your thumb into your palm as you would when putting on a bangle.
​
For bracelets and cuffs, be sure to use a dresser's measuring tape to get the circumference of your wrist. You can measure in inches or centimeters.
​
Adjustements
Any size adjustments will be at a cost which will be shared with you & payment required before work starts. Please note, rings & bangles/bracelets/cuffs where gemstones have been set, will need to be removed & in some cases the settings may need to be redone. I will try to ensure the settings as similar to the original design as I can.
I am able to size up any pre-made hammered rings & cuffs/bangles FoC for as much as 1/2 - 1 sizes bigger. I can also reduce ring sizes down by turning them into an open adjustable band, & I can reduce cuff sizes FoC. Please just email or DM via Instagram to request this before dispatch.​
