Product agreement
For all custom-made rings please allow for the indicated manufacturing time. Black rhodium on gold/silver can and will wear off in frequent contact with soaps, perfumes etc. Rhodium plating wears by design and will wear off through time, wear rate depends on how well the ring is looked after, natural oils in skin are also a leading contributor which differ from person to person, plating is a process completed by hand and consequently comes with its imperfections, it is not a flawless process. We have seen plating last days, months to years depending on how the piece is looked after. Stone shades and metals as depicted on our CAD pictures may differentiate from the final product, unless your monitor is professionally calibrated it may show different shades of colour on different monitors.
By agreeing to the product terms you understand created stones are not natural earthed diamonds or carbon stones and are made from zirconium dioxide. Due to the intricacy of our designs we do not offer a resizing service so please choose your size carefully.
These terms and conditions form part of the Agreement between the Client and ourselves. Your accessing of this website and/or undertaking of a booking or agreement indicates your understanding, agreement to and acceptance, of the Disclaimer Notice and the full Terms and Conditions contained herein. Your statutory consumer rights are unaffected.
