We are unable to deliver to certain addresses, including but not limited to PO Box addresses, hotels, motels and certain restricted areas.

Once you have selected the products you wish to purchase and placed them in your shopping cart, a series of on-screen instructions will guide you through the checkout process. You can submit your order by clicking the [Pay Now] button at the end of the checkout process. We may seek pre-authorization when you submit your order, but we will formally deduct payment when we notify you that the goods are ready to be shipped.

Acceptance of Order. Your order is deemed accepted by us and the contract between you and us is formed when we email you notifying you that your order has been dispatched. We will also invoice you at this time and charge the payment method you provided to us.
No Acceptance. If we cannot accept your order we will notify you by email and/or telephone using the contact details we hold for you and you will not be charged for the goods. This may be, for example, because the product is out of stock, because of unforeseen events or resource constraints which we could not reasonably plan for, because you did not meet the eligibility criteria set out in these Terms when you submitted your order, because we have failed to obtain your payment authorization, because we have discovered an error in the price or description of the product, or because your specified delivery deadline cannot be met.
4. Our Products
We will take all reasonable care to ensure that the product descriptions, images and prices published on our website are correct, accurate and up-to-date. However, please note the following:

Images. The images of products on our website are for illustration purposes only and are not representative of the actual product you will receive. There may be some significant differences in the following areas:
- (a) Color: While we have made every effort to display colors accurately, we cannot guarantee that the colors displayed on your device accurately reflect the true color of the product. Your product may vary slightly from these images.

Bespoke products. Some of our rings can be made to order to your preferred size. In this case, you will be given a choice of sizes during the ordering process. Bespoke may mean that we need to make some changes to the original specifications; in this case, we will discuss such changes with you before confirming your order.
Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in the images on our website.
Make sure your size requirements are correct. If we custom make a product based on the dimensions you provide to us, it is your responsibility to ensure those dimensions are correct. Please refer to our size guide . If you need help please contact us and we will be happy to provide guidance.

Our breach of contract. In addition to your rights to cancel the contract under other provisions of these Terms, you have the right to end the contract if:
- (a) we have informed you that the product you ordered was incorrectly priced or described and you do not wish to proceed with the transaction; or
- (b) we breach these Terms or fail to comply with our legal obligations.
To exercise this right to end the contract, you should notify us . When we receive such notice from you, the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products not yet provided and you may also be entitled to compensation.
You have the right to change your mind without giving a reason. In addition to your rights to end the contract as described above, for most products purchased online, you also have legal rights under Singapore law to change your mind within 14 days and get a refund. These rights under Singapore law are explained in detail below.
You do not have the right to change your mind for the following products:
- (a) Products made, customized or personalised to your specifications;
- (b) Products that have been sealed for health or hygiene reasons, once you have received and unsealed the product. This includes jewellery for piercings, such as earrings.
You must exercise this right within 14 days from the date you received or collected the product, unless your order was delivered in several batches on different dates. In the latter case, you must exercise this right within 14 days from the date you received or collected the last package.
7. How to end your contract with us (including if you change your mind)

Refunds. If you are entitled to return the product under your rights under this contract or any statutory rights you may have, we will refund you the price you paid for the product (including delivery costs) using the payment method you used.
If you exercise your right to change your mind, we may reduce the price we refund to you to reflect any decrease in value of the product if it has decreased in value because you have handled the product in a way that is not permitted in our store.

We will refund you as soon as possible.

If you are unable to arrange payment, we may end our contract with you.
9. Product Problems
How to tell us about a problem. If you have any questions or complaints about a product, please contact us. You can contact our Customer Service Team. Alternatively, please tell a member of staff in one of our stores.

10. Prices and Payment
Prices include VAT. The price of the products (including VAT) will be the price shown on the order page when you submit your order. If the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date we supply the products, we may adjust the rate of VAT you pay unless you have already paid in full for the products before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
What to do if our price is wrong. We will take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of a product we tell you is correct, and we will usually check prices before accepting your order. However, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. If, at the date you submit your order, the product's correct price is lower than our stated price, we will charge you the lower price. If, at the date you submit your order, the product's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will contact you for your instructions before accepting your order. However, if we accept and process your order and the price of the product is obviously and unmistakably incorrect and could reasonably have been understood by you to be incorrect, we may end the contract, refund you any amounts you have paid and require you to return the goods you have received.
You must pay when and how you pay. We accept a variety of payment methods shown on the order page. We ask you to pay for the products when you submit your order, but we may not charge your credit or debit card until we ship the products to you. When you submit your order, please confirm that the payment method you use to pay us belongs to you and that you have the authority to submit the order.
If you believe that the information shown on your invoice or order confirmation email or delivery note is incorrect, please contact us immediately to let us know.
When you provide information about payment, you explicitly authorize us to use your information or receive your information from a third party (including but not limited to your name, address, phone number, credit card details) to verify your identity and delivery address and payment card. We have the right to retain data related to orders for an appropriate period of time, as long as retaining such data does not violate our privacy policy.
