Terms of Transactions
Contract preparation: You have to express your interest (product purchase proposal) for our products electronically and take the necessary actions selecting the product(s) of your choice.
Our acceptance of your proposal for the purchase of a product and the completion of your order is done exclusively by sending you a confirmation letter (sms or e- mail).
For the preparation and processing of transactions with our Business it is not obligatory to register and create a customer/user account on our Website.
Contract cancellation: However, we reserve the right to withdraw any product from this Website at any time. In exceptional circumstances, even if we have sent a confirmation letter, we reserve the right to reject your order and refund the amount paid. We point out that we have no responsibility to you or to any third party for the withdrawal of any products from this Website.
Withdrawal – Returns & product replacements: You have the right to return to us, within 14 calendar days from the date of delivery to you, and at your own expense, the purchased products, if these are the same condition in which they were delivered.
The withdrawal period shall expire after the expiry of 14 calendar days from the day on which you or a third party designated by you, other than the carrier, has acquired the physical possession or the control of the products, or in the case of ordering more products after the expiry 14 calendar days from the day on which you or a third party designated by you, other than the carrier, acquired the physical possession or control of the last product.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you can inform our Business of your decision to withdraw from the contract either by post or by e-mail (for all the above contact details see our contact info). You can also use the withdrawal form attached below, without this being mandatory. In order for the withdrawal to be timely, it is enough for you to express your desire for withdrawal before the expiration of the withdrawal period.
You have no right to withdraw when it comes to products tailored to your needs or sealed products, which are not suitable for return for health/safety reasons, and which were opened after delivery. For example, it is clear that you do not have the right to withdraw the contract when it comes to tailored rings (exactly for your own preference) or when it comes to earrings due to health reasons. Returns will not be accepted of seasonal products (New Year’s Charms etc) or products which show signs of use.
In cases of orders in other sizes than N (UK) or 54 (EU) or 7 (US), returns are not accepted. When a ring is re-adjusted on a specific size on demand, it becomes custom made and as all custom made orders are not returnable and not refundable.
It is clarified that no amount is refunded if the product has been used after opening, if the product is not in the same condition as delivered or if it has been damaged. You are obliged to return the product(s) using or including their original packaging, instructions and any other document that may accompany the products. In any case, the legal receipt issued for the product(s) must also be returned.
Result – withdrawal – return & replacement of products: In cases of withdrawal – returns of products, our Business refunds the paid money in the same method as the payment made at the time of purchase. In case of replacement of a product with a product or products of lower value than the originally purchased, our Business returns to the customer the resulting monetary difference with the same method as the payment made at the time of purchase. In each of the above cases, you have the obligation to reimburse the product free from any burden you may have added, as well as the benefits you have gained.
