PRODUCT VARIATIONS
We do our best to be as accurate as reasonably possible in our descriptions of products available for purchase through the Site. However, our products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our Site are for illustrative purposes only. Colours may appear slightly different in reality due to studio lighting conditions, or variances in computer screen calibration. We do not warrant that product descriptions or other content on the Site are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Our 
jewellery is classed as costume jewellery, which means they will experience oxidation due to several factors such as coming into contact with moisture, air and chemicals. Oxidation of our jewellery is inevitable over time and this is a natural occurring process that cannot be considered as a fault in our jewellery. Please take the time to read our care instructions to ensure your jewellery last longer.
