Returns Policy
If your jewellery is damaged in transit or faulty when it arrives you must notify Ruth by email or telephone within 7 days. Give your name, address, information about the fault and if you require a refund or a replacement. Ruth will then contact you about the next stage in the return process.
If you want to return an item that has arrived to you in perfect condition you must return it to Ruth within 14 days of receipt of item. The item must be sent back in its original unworn condition. Failure to do this will mean that Ruth is unable to accept returned goods. Ruth will arrange a repair, replacement or gift certificate as appropriate. Refunds are solely at Ruth's discretion.
A ring ordered in an incorrect size cannot be re-sized due to the one off bespoke nature of the making and stone setting process. If the item is to be replaced or repaired, Ruth will make it as quickly as possible but this will depend on her workload. We regret that earrings (due to hygiene reasons) and custom made items cannot be exchanged or refunded unless the item is damaged in transit or incorrectly supplied.
Please note that each product is handmade by Ruth Wood and therefore unique, slight variations are part of the unique character of the work. All stone set rings, pendants and brooches are unique one off pieces, no stone setting can be replicated exactly and stones may vary in clarity and colour.
In the interests of fraud prevention, your refund will be issued by the same method that you paid within 28 days of receipt of the return.
