Returns & Refunds

Our Refund & Returns Policy

Because each piece is made just for you and carries something truly irreplaceable, our policy works a little differently to a standard shop.

Made with love, made for you

Why Bespoke Jewellery is Different

Every piece Emma creates is completely unique. It is made entirely by hand, to your specific design choices, and — most importantly — it contains your own precious inclusions such as ashes, hair, fur or breastmilk. These materials are irreplaceable.

Because of this, once Emma has begun work on your piece, the jewellery cannot be remade, resold, or transferred to another person. This is not a policy we take lightly — it is simply the nature of what bespoke memorial jewellery is.

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, goods made to a customer's personal specification are exempt from the standard 14-day cooling-off period. However, we always try to do right by our customers — if something is wrong, please talk to Emma.

Emma's Promise to You

Emma personally reads every message and handles every order herself. If you ever have a concern — before, during, or after your order — please reach out directly. She will always do her best to make things right.

4
Work Commences — Inclusions Set in Resin

Emma begins crafting your piece

Once your inclusions have been mixed into the resin and the crafting process has begun, the order cannot be cancelled or refunded. This is because your inclusions become permanently set within the piece and cannot be removed, returned or reused.

This stage typically begins within 7–10 working days of receiving your inclusions.

✕ Cancellation no longer possible at this stage
