Terms and Conditions
PAYMENT
Online Shop
Payment for items from the online collection will be made via the secure STRIPE shopping cart which accepts many major credit and debit cards.
Bespoke Commissions
Once your commission has been discussed and an estimated quote issued with a design drawing (if applicable), an invoice for a 50% non-refundable deposit will be sent to you via email. When the commission is ready, the balance payment must be paid including the cost for P+P (if applicable as orders over £250 are delivered free of charge) before the item is dispatched. NB: The quote and design drawing fee will be included in the overall cost of the commission, however if you choose not to proceed with the commission at the time you are invoiced for the 50% non-refundable deposit, you will still be invoiced separately for the time taken to produce the quote and the design drawing.
Methods of payment for commissions and custom orders: CHEQUE (made payable to ‘Julia Thompson’), or ONLINE BANK TRANSFER (account details will be provided in the invoice).
As the price of silver and gold constantly fluctuates, prices on the website are subject to change. Please allow for a potential increase in the stated online price of a piece of jewellery if you request an adjustment or addition to the piece when ordering.
The Right to Cancel
You may legally cancel your order up to the point of despatch for items which have not been handmade to order or commissioned, and up to the point of processing (after payment is received but work has not commenced) for items which have been commissioned.
