All shipments are subject to insurance (theft and breakage), which is included in the shipping price.

Delivery

All jewellery is delivered sealed because of its preciousness. It is the only way to guarantee their integrity and authenticity, and to ensure that the product ordered is delivered to the customer.

Shipping costs are borne by the customer.

Costs vary according to the geographical area of the order and the delivery method. The company reserves the right to cancel or refuse any order involving a delivery according to the geographical area.

The delivery is considered to have been made on the date of the first presentation of the product to the customer.

The parcel containing the order is delivered by a carrier chosen by the company, to the address indicated by the customer in their order. In case of absence of the customer at the time of delivery, a slip is left in their mailbox. The customer must contact the carrier using the contact details indicated on the slip to agree on a new delivery date.

The delivery time is fixed at 15 days as an indication. The lead times mentioned at the time of the order are given for information purposes only and do not imply any obligation of result on the part of the company.

The jewellery shop shall not be held liable in the event of late delivery. The customer can opt for delivery at the “Click & Collect” shop located at 5, rue du Marchés-aux-Herbes L-1728 Luxembourg.

In the event of a false address/phone number (necessary for delivery), the customer agrees to pick up the product at the jewellery shop.

In the event that the delivery is refused, the product shall return to the jewellery shop.

Shipping and return costs are at the customer’s expense and a penalty of 25% of the value of the product will be applied if the customer does not take possession of the product.

Any unsealed jewellery will result in the recognition of the order’s conformity and will prevent any return of the product.

Conformity and warranty

The customer must check their package upon receipt thereof. The customer must refuse the package immediately (i) if the package is not in a perfect condition or (ii) if the customer has any doubt that the contents could be damaged.

Each piece of jewellery is sold with a certificate of authenticity describing its components and characteristics.

Right of withdrawal

The customer has the right to withdraw from the order within 14 days (right of withdrawal).

The customer undertakes not to unseal the jewellery. In the event of a problem (defect before delivery) the buyer will have to provide proof that the defect existed before the delivery package was opened. No return measure will be possible if the jewel is unsealed and/or broken by the customer who will have to obtain evidence that they did not break the jewellery when opening the delivery package.

The jewellery cannot be reimbursed before the seller has examined the product to check its authenticity and to verify that it is the same jewellery as the one that was ordered.

Transfer of ownership and transfer of risk
