RETURNS & RESIZING POLICY
At WILLIAM ÉDOUARD, we aspire to create elegant, quality, handcrafted jewellery.
We happily offer a single-use exchange credit (excluding postage fees) on all orders (excluding the Letter Ring Collection, customised signet rings, wedding bands and engagement rings, and any other piece of a customised nature) should you change your mind within 14 days of receiving your purchase. For hygiene reasons, this excludes all earring purchases. Please contact info@williamedouard.com for more information.
Please note we do not issue refunds for incorrect purchases, deposits paid on bespoke jewellery or change of mind. This includes incorrect choice of ring size. In many cases, we offer complimentary resizing of rings, however if additional gold is required to facilitate an increase in ring size or rings containing gemstones need resizing, this will often incur a materials fee based on the weight of the additional gold required.
If we have already assisted you with a complimentary resize, any additional resizing will incur a $75 fee.
In the event that you wish to resize your ring/s, please contact us at info@williamedouard.com for our postal address and include a paid, self-addressed return postage satchel for redelivery.
Any purchases made through a WILLIAM ÉDOUARD stockist must be returned to the original point of purchase.
To arrange a return, please contact our team via email at info@williamedouard.com
Please note we do not accept returns when:
- Items are not returned in their original condition and packaging i.e. have been worn, damaged or are sent without original packaging.
- Items are returned outside of our above-mentioned time window.
- An order includes earrings due to hygienic reasons.
- An order includes bespoke or customised items.
Should any of the above occur, WILLIAM ÉDOUARD will not accept the return.
Returns are at the expense of our customers and under their responsibility until the goods are successfully delivered to WILLIAM ÉDOUARD.

Please note that orders which have already been handcrafted and/or dispatched cannot be cancelled.
CUSTOM
Custom orders are final and cannot be returned or refunded, unless deemed faulty. A "fault" does not include an item bending out of shape due to its delicate design/thinness when a customer has impacted it during wear.

PRE-CHRISTMAS CUT OFF DATE:
READY TO SHIP ITEMS:

MADE TO ORDER ITEMS:
Due to the increase in seasonal orders and the closedown of jewellery-industry/precious metal suppliers, orders received on or after the 3rd of December cannot be guaranteed to arrive before Christmas Day. We may also close our business over the Christmas period until mid-January. Orders placed during this period may not begin production until reopening in January if applicable. Any relevant dates will be posted on our website.
As all of our pieces are handmade to order, any orders placed after relevant cut off dates posted on our website may not be dispatched until we re-open in January.
SALES
Items purchased during sales or clearances are final sale and cannot be returned, unless deemed faulty. A "fault" does not include an item bending out of shape due to its delicate design/thinness when a customer has impacted it during wear.
WILLIAM ÉDOUARD VOLUNTARY WARRANTY
Subject to the exclusions to this warranty below, WILLIAM ÉDOUARD voluntary warranty is offered against manufacturing faults on products purchased directly from our retail store/s.
Our voluntary warranty period is six months from the date of purchase (proof of purchase required). For engagement jewellery, our voluntary warranty period is two years from the date of purchase (proof of purchase required).
We recommend that you insure any high value jewellery through a third party insurer in case of damage, theft or loss.
It is the customer's responsibility to check the health of engagement ring and earring prongs and settings to ensure that gemstones and diamonds do not risk falling out. If you see you gemstone/diamond moving at all, please contact us immediately.
We are not responsible for replacing gemstones/diamonds that have fallen out of settings.
EXCLUSIONS TO OUR WARRANTY:
- WILLIAM ÉDOUARD warranty will not apply to any products damaged due to being worn in a manner that is against our care instructions, or due to accident, mishandling or miswear.
-
Please note that due to natural chemical reactions with the air, all jewellery will tarnish, and any such tarnishing is not a result of metal impurity or quality but rather the environment the wearer subjects it to.
Examples of such environmental factors that will accelerate tarnishing include hand/body lotions, creams, sulphur, colognes and perfumes, salt water, salt air, humid climates, miscellaneous chemicals, hand sanitiser. Leaving jewellery untouched for several weeks or longer at a time will often accelerate tarnishing very quickly. - Our warranty does not cover faded rhodium or gold plating, broken chain, cracked stones and/or pearls, or bending.
- Any repairs or modifications to WILLIAM ÉDOUARD jewellery not undertaken by WILLIAM ÉDOUARD employees will void any warranty.
