Items over 100 years old

In many countries, import tax/duty do not apply when purchasing antiques aged over 100 years old. We declare these items as 'Personal adornment, over 100 years old', providing a signed and dated Antique Declaration form. Georgian and Victorian jewelry (around 40% of our inventory) falls into this category.

Items under 100 years old

In many countries, import tax/duty/handling fees apply when purchasing items under 100 years. Jewelry from periods other than Georgian and Victorian (around 60% of our inventory) falls into this category.

Usually your country will have a website or customs office providing you with the relevant rates.

Further partial restrictions on importation of items such as ours exist in specific countries. Please contact us to make sure your country does not fit into this bracket.

We have no authority over a local country's customs department.

You can find out your ring size now by downloading our nifty Ring Measurer Thingy.

Sometimes it can be tricky finding out her size without being caught. In these circumstances we recommend saving your free sizing until after you've proposed or the recipient has received their ring. Just send your ring back to us via secure post or visit us at our London showroom and we will measure your partner's finger and take it to get sized.

We accept the following forms of payment:

We offer our customers in the UK the chance to spread the cost of their purchase with up to 12 months Interest Free Finance, for loans of up to £5,000.

Please note discounts cannot be applied when using interest free finance as a payment method.
