Warranty

We offer a 3 month manufacturing warranty on all jewellery with proof of purchase. This warranty is effective from the date of purchase and proof of purchase must be retained for the warranty to be valid. Our jewellery is of delicate nature and care must be taken when worn. 

This covers manufacturing faults and defects. It does not cover pieces that have been damaged due to ‘wear and tear’ through misuse or accident (like a bent ring or, missing stones, broken chain), lost items and improper storage of your product.

The warranty is voided if the jewellery has been bent, engraved, altered and modified, damaged by accident, misuse, and discolouration caused by foreign substances. Plated metals can dull down over time, however, contact with foreign substances such as hand sanitiser, cleaning agents, soap, cosmetic products, and acidic skin types can cause discolouration much faster. Tarnishing, fading & discolourations caused by the above reasons will not be covered under this warranty.

Scratches are not considered a manufacturing defect, meaning it is not covered under warranty as they occur from everyday wear. This includes the wearing down of plated surfaces. Physical contact and friction against other hard and, or rough surfaces will cause the plated layer to wear. This is considered a general wear and tear and will not be covered under warranty.

Pieces can only be deemed faulty by one of our jewellers upon physical assessment. Failure to return the item for assessment or follow the care instructions will render this warranty void. Pieces being returned to us for assessment are to be shipped at the purchaser's expense. In accordance with the ACCC, consumers are responsible for returning products that can be posted or easily returned.

Note: Natural oxidisation of the jewellery, stripping off colour due to skin PH levels and water damage are not considered faults and will not be refunded. Please follow our care instructions.

 For hygienic reasons, earrings cannot be returned.

Faulty Items

Refunds (if applicable)

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.

You will be required to return the purchased item via post or in store. 

If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment, within a certain amount of days.

Late or missing refunds (if applicable)

If you have not yet received your refund, please first check your bank account again. Please then contact your bank or credit card company. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted. If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at hello@dearkeepsake.com.au
