Each stone is individual so there may be some slight variations in colour and size. These semi-precious gemstones aren’t as hard as precious gemstones like diamonds. Therefore they may have some subtle inclusions, lines, marks or chips. The design aesthetic of Cathy Pope Jewellery is less polished and more ‘organic’.
Most stones are imperfect and that's ok so it’s important when you purchase your jewellery that you are aware of this. In all cases we attempt to use the best quality stones I have available. Each item is made to order. If a stone is broken or cracked after purchase please feel free to return it to be replaced. Each stone broken after purchase will incur a standard charge of $40 plus $5 courier.
You must inform us of your intention to return the item within 7 days of the delivery date by emailing cathy@cathypope.co.nz. Please return your your item using a track and trace courier and package it welll to prevent damage.
Items must be in an unworn condition and with the original packaging. There may be additional charges for postage on the new item. You are responsible for the cost of returning the goods.
If the goods were faulty or incorrect then the cost of return postage will be refunded to you.
Refunds will not be given if the goods have been damaged by you, this includes damage caused by inadequate packaging by you when returning goods.
We do not offer refunds on any courier services as we incur the cost with every parcel sent.
REPAIRS
We will repair any manufacturing fault (broken clasps, claws coming loose or wire breakage) at no cost within 6 months of purchase. Proof of purchase is required. Please return your your item using a track and trace courier.
We will repair broken wire from the chunky choker collection free of charge at anytime. We charge $5 to cover the return courier.
Manufacturing faults do not include: Chipped, cracked or broken gemstones. Broken chains. General wear and tear including rings that have bent out of shape, claws that have snapped off or oxidised, or plating that has worn off.
PLATING
As with all gold plating and vermeil, over time it will rub and wear off. This is because it’s bonded onto the base metal and is a very thin coating. If you take good care of the jewellery it will last a long time, but understandably it will rub with constant contact and may lose its colour. We recommend gold plated rings are only worn as occasion rather than every day rings to retain the colour.
If you would like any of the above repairs made, we can assess the damage and will let you know the cost before proceeding. If a stone is broken or cracked after purchase please feel free to return it to be replaced. Each stone broken after purchase will incur a standard charge of $60 plus $7 courier.
