All Jewellery is despatched from the Island of Guernsey in the Channel Islands usually via Royal Mail. The Island of Guernsey has the facility to pre pay the VAT, for UK based customers, on their behalf to ensure a speedy and efficient delivery. This procedure is mandatory on individual items purchased through the Website up to and including a value, excluding VAT, of £2000. In the instance where your order total is greater than £2000 for multiple items (For example if your order consists of a pendant at £1500 and earrings at £1500 giving a total order value of £3000 then we shall despatch the items separately with pre paid VAT at no extra delivery charge). The facility to pre pay the VAT on individual items over £2000 is not available and in this instance we will charge to you the price excluding VAT, the goods will then be despatched using the usual delivery methods and UK customs will contact you prior to delivery to obtain the applicable VAT amount at the current UK rate. Please note for items despatched where the VAT is not pre paid the usual delivery times quoted are void and delivery may be delayed as a result.
All payments must be made at the time of ordering. Payment for your order must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Maestro cards. If we are unable to accept your order for any reason then we will, at our option, either not debit your credit card or refund any money paid by you in respect of that order. We will not dispatch your order until we receive payment in full.
For payment by card, all credit and debit cardholders and bank/building society account holders respectively may be subject to authorisation and authentication. If the issuer of your payment card or our service provider refuses to, or does not for any reason authorise or validate the payment, we will not be liable in these circumstances for any delay or non-delivery in respect of your order as a result.
