Hallmarks
All of our precious
metal rings (gold and platinum) are hallmarked by an independent British Assay
Office in Birmingham, Sheffield or London.
Special Sizes
Most of our rings
are offered in size F – Z however if you require half sizes please contact our
customer service team, who will be happy to discuss your requirements with you.
Men’s rings are also available sizes Z+1 to Z+4 upon request
and you can contact us on 0113 278 7694 or by emailing bespokecreations@hotmail.co.uk.
Engraving
Having a state-of-the-art
laser engraver, we are capable of engraving any names, dates, messages etc
within the space permitted on the item. Please place your request by contacting
us on 0113 278 7694 or by emailing bespokecreations@hotmail.co.uk.
Due to the
personalised nature, we cannot fulfil any return enquiries, as a personalised
engraved item will be difficult for us to re-sell.
Prices
We endeavour to
ensure that all our prices are clearly displayed and that there are no hidden
extras. The final amount payable will always be shown at the check-out before
payment is made. By placing an order throughout website, you are offering to
buy the ring at that price. In the event of human error or malfunction in our
website technology, the prices on the site do not commit us to a sale. In the
event of a customer having purchased an item online at the incorrect price, we
reserve the right to return the amount paid in full and cancel the purchase.
Please note that
discount vouchers cannot be used with sale items or sample orders. In the event
that a voucher code is used for a sale item, your order may be cancelled.
We change our
loyalty reward codes regularly and cannot be held responsible for the
expiration of a discount code found online. Only one discount code can be used
for each order. Discounts cannot be used together in conjunction with cashback
sites like Quidco and Top Cashback.
Price Matching
For the WEDDING
RINGS UK price match to apply the product must be identical.
- For wedding rings
this means the same width, depth, profile, metal, colour weight and finish.
- For diamond rings
this means the same ring design and the same diamond quality. Diamond quality
means the same colour, clarity, cut and weight. Also, the same grade of polish,
symmetry and fluorescence.
- The item being
matched must be for sale in the UK and in GBP.
Price matching will
not apply where the alternative supplier is in administration or closing down,
or the item is damaged, pre-owned, or in a sale or promotion.
If you find one of
our products at a lower price and prove that it meets our price match criteria:
Visit us: By prior
appointment in Leeds
Call us: 0113 278
7694
Email us: bespokecreations@hotmail.co.uk
Please provide the
following information as you will be asked a few questions to verify your
claim:
1. The website link
proving the product specification and price in GBP.
2. If the weblink
is not available please supply official documentation from the competitor
proving the product specification and price in GBP.
If we confirm that
the product is being offered at a lower retail price, and that it meets our
price match criteria, we will beat that price.
We will supply the
identical product at the agreed lower price. Or if you have already purchased
from us, the difference will be returned by the original method of payment and
is non-transferrable. A claim must be made within seven days of purchase.
Making a Purchase
Most of our
products are handmade so we aim to deliver in 4 weeks from the date of order
unless another date is agreed and noted on your order. If you choose to delay
delivery until a specified date this should be agreed by contacting us and we
will aim to despatch the item on the agreed date.
All measurements
shown are approximate and prices are Pounds Sterling and include VAT at the
prevailing rate.
We accept credit
card payments from Mastercard and VISA, and these are verified by Mastercard
Secure Code and Verified by VISA. We also accept American Express and Debit
Cards.
You may send your
credit/debit card information via phone, mail or over the internet.
We accept orders on
the website from both the UK and EU/International orders.
Cooling off period, cancellations and refunds
If your ring(s) are
not as ordered due to a fault in manufacture, or they do not fit please let us
know within 7 days and we will ask you to return the ring(s) to DB Creations PO
Box 364, Moortown, Leeds LS17 1TZ by Royal Mail Special Delivery. We will then
rectify the problem, remake, or resize the ring(s). You will also be entitled
to request reimbursement for postal costs if we are unable to rectify the
problem.
We offer a cooling
off period so you can cancel your order and/or return your ring(s) up to 14
days from the date of despatch or collection if it is not as expected.
The item must be
received back in its original condition, with all original documentation where
applicable. Refunds and exchanges may be subject to fees where the item shows
any evidence of wear and tear and we reserve the right to not accept an item
back for refund or exchange if it shows excessive wear and tear (even within
the 30 day returns policy).
Items will not be accepted back for refund or exchange where there is evidence
that a 3rd party has worked on the item. Bespoke orders, laser engraved items
and shaped rings are non-returnable. Refunds and exchanges will not be
authorised for these items. Should we agree to accept items back under exceptional
circumstances, they will usually be subject to administration/re-stocking
charges. Statutory rights are not affected. We will also not refund if it is
evident that more than one ring was purchased with the express intention of
choosing between them and returning one for a refund (see below).
Refunds will be
made by the original method of payment.
In some cases, we
will contact you before we manufacture a ring, to discuss what we can do to
ensure the ring will be suitable and therefore not returned. This is especially
likely if the item is of high value, e.g., a full eternity ring
Exchanges
We are willing to
exchange one standard item for another, plus or minus any price difference and
P&P, as long as the ring is received back, and the exchange details are
finalised within 14 days from when the first ring was dispatched. A standard
item is any item available from our website which has not been customised in
any way. Bespoke jewellery, engraved items or special orders can only be
exchanged at our discretion and subject to any agreed charges. If you simply
want the same item but with a different size, please see the ring resizing
procedure. Please also note that we will not exchange or replace rings that
have been damaged by the wearer.
Lifetime Guarantee
We guarantee our
rings for life against faulty manufacture but not normal wear and tear or
damage resulting from accident, alteration, misuse or abuse. Any guarantees
that we offer will be voided if you allow a third party to work on a ring that
we have made for you.
However, we will
clean and re-polish or re-matt any ring we supply for £20 plus postage at any
time in the future if you contact our customer service by email:
bespokecreations@hotmail.co.uk.
You will be asked
to return the ring(s) to our partner Outwork Jewellery Services Ltd, Elton
House, 5 Powell Street, Birmingham B1 3DH in suitable packaging, by Royal Mail
Special Delivery, with full details of your requirements and contact details
enclosed. You should retain the Post Office receipt as proof of despatch and
for tracking purposes.
We strongly advise
you to insure all high-value items, especially those with diamonds. We will not
replace a dislodged or lost diamond free of charge, unless within three months
of the date we despatched the item and due to a manufacturing fault.
Festive season
As we are aware
that the jewellery we sell may be for gifts or seasonal weddings, we are happy
to extend our normal returns period over Christmas. Items bought in December
can therefore be returned up until 31st January. Normal exceptions to the
returns policy apply.
Insurance
You will receive a
full sales invoice for your purchase, which most insurance companies will
accept as a valuation for the item.
We advise that all
jewellery is insured against damage.
Your guarantee and returns policy are
invalidated if you allow a third party to resize or otherwise work on a piece
of jewellery, we have made for you.
Weights
Each ring is unique,
but you can contact our customer service team who will be happy to provide you
with the metal weight. Rings will be considered as suitable if they are within
an acceptable trade tolerance, i.e., if the weight is within 5% for items over
2 grams and within 0.2g for each item below 2 grams.
Delivery and ownership of goods
We aim to deliver
your orders in 4 weeks from the date of order unless another date is agreed and
noted on the order. If you choose to delay delivery until a specified date, we
will aim to despatch the ring(s) for delivery on the agreed date which must be
communicated and shown on the order.
Your ring(s) will
be delivered by Royal Mail Special Delivery (next day) service, usually on a
Saturday morning, as most customers find this more convenient with 95% of rings
sent on Friday arriving on Saturday before 1pm. Delivery must be arranged for
other days if required.
We are not
responsible for delays caused by external delivery companies such as Royal Mail
although we do everything, we can to ensure prompt delivery of your ring(s). We
aim to inform you by email or phone before despatch.
Royal Mail Special
Delivery means that items sent by us are fully insured until delivered and
signed for. After that they are the customer's responsibility. We strongly
advise customers to use this service in the event of sending any valuable items
in the post either to us or any third party. Recorded delivery should not be
used for sending jewellery.
If you require your
purchased goods to be delivered by an alternative courier to that of the Royal
Mail, you may be liable to an additional postage charge. We do not charge for
sample packages being returned to us if they are lost, damaged or delayed where
the correct postal service was used, and the sender has provided proof of
posting.
Any item received
by a customer without us first receiving full payment remains our property
until all monies have been received.
If you wish your ring to be resized,
please contact us at bespokecreations@hotmail.co.uk letting us know your name, order number and the
new size required.
Engraved rings cannot be resized or
exchanged so please be sure of the size before ordering.
Resizing full eternity rings in some
cases is not possible, so please contact us if you are not 100% sure of your
ring size. The resizing of rings from the sale section will be agreed/charged
on a case-by-case basis.
Plain rings to resize will typically
cost £20 and decorative £25 with diamond set and eternity style rings dependant
on design.
Wedding Rings UK use centre (not
leading edge) measurement so if you think this will affect your choice of which
size to order, please contact us for advice.
Please note your guarantee is
invalidated if you allow a third party to work on the item that we have made
for you. We are not liable to reimburse the cost if altered by a third party.
Throughout our
website, where references are made to the 'High Street' or 'High Street stores'
(in terms of a price comparison) our definition is as follows:
A shop located on
the main street of a town or city. In specific relation to Jewellery based
businesses, this is a shop which can be found across multiple towns or cities
(chain store).
Deposit Payments
Deposits are
non-refundable unless orders are cancelled within the statutory limits set out
below or we cannot fulfil the order. Deposits should be agreed prior to placing
the order, equivalent to 30% of the total order value. In the event that the
deposit paid at the time of ordering is less than the 30%, we will not commence
manufacture of the rings until payments are made to bring the amount received
by us up to 30%.
Final payment for
the balance will be taken from the same credit or debit card when the rings are
ready for despatch. We aim to inform you in advance by email or phone that we
are about to take the balance payment. Unless you call us to change the card
details the payment will be taken within 24 hours.
If you pay the
deposit by cash or bank transfer, we will inform you by email or phone that
your ring(s) is(are) ready for despatch and request payment of the balance.
This can be by electronic bank transfer or card payment.
If we are unable to
contact you by email or phone to collect the balance payment, we will write to
you. If the final balance is not paid within 60 days of you being informed that
they are ready, the ring(s) will be disposed of and you will lose your deposit.
