Do you offer gift wrapping?

We don't offer custom gift wrapping at the moment — but every piece arrives carefully packaged in our signature jewellery box, which is lovely for gifting straight away.

Product & Quality

High-quality materials, made for everyday wear.

What is your jewellery made of?

Our pieces are primarily made of 316L and 304L stainless steel, which is rust- and corrosion-resistant. Selected styles feature 18K gold plating or rhodium coating with a high-polish finish, protected by micron plating and an e-coating shield for long-lasting wear. Some designs also include cubic zirconia stones for a refined, diamond-like sparkle.

Is the jewellery waterproof?

Yes — our pieces are waterproof and can be worn while showering, swimming and bathing. To maximise longevity, we recommend avoiding direct contact with aggressive chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, perfume or cleaning products.

Is the jewellery suitable for sensitive skin?

According to our suppliers, our jewellery is nickel-free or nickel-low, which makes it generally skin-friendly. That said, individual reactions cannot be entirely ruled out in case of very sensitive skin or known metal allergies. If you have a known metal allergy, we recommend consulting a doctor or allergist before your purchase.

How do I care for my jewellery?

To keep your pieces looking their best:

  • Avoid prolonged contact with aggressive chemicals (chlorine, bleach, acids, solvents)
  • Let perfume, creams and sunscreen absorb before putting on your jewellery
  • Clean regularly with a soft cloth
  • Store dry, ideally in the original jewellery box

You'll find full care details in our Terms & Conditions, Section 8.

How do I find my ring size?

You'll find a size guide directly in each ring's product page. If you're still unsure or somewhere in between sizes, feel free to reach out via our contact form — we're happy to help you find the right fit.

Returns & Exchanges

14-day return window from receipt.

Can I return my order?

Yes — you have 14 days from receipt of your parcel to return your order. The jewellery must be unworn, in its original jewellery box and free from any signs of wear. Return shipping costs are covered by the customer. You'll find all the details in our Return Policy.

Which items cannot be returned?

For hygiene and product-specific reasons, the following items are excluded from returns: earrings and piercing jewellery once worn, personalised items (including engravings and custom orders), and sale or discounted items.

How does an exchange work?

We offer exchanges within the same product line in a different size (e.g. a ring in another size). Simply contact us via our contact form with your order number and the new size you'd like — we'll send you a free shipping code and guide you through the next steps. Full details are in our Return Policy.

When will I receive my refund?

Once your return arrives and we've inspected the item, we'll process your refund within 7 to 14 business days to your original payment method. If you'd prefer a store credit / voucher instead, just let us know when registering your return.

Warranty & Defects

Your statutory rights — 2 years from receipt.

What are my warranty rights?

You have a 2-year statutory warranty from receipt of the goods, in line with Swiss Code of Obligations (Art. 197 ff. CO). As the merchant, we are directly responsible for defects — please address any warranty claims directly to us, not to the manufacturer.

What does the warranty cover?

Covered: Manufacturing defects and faults in materials or workmanship that occur under normal use.

Not covered: Normal wear and tear (e.g. small scratches or natural changes from regular wear), damage from improper care or handling (see our care instructions), damage from chemicals or accidents, as well as loss or theft.

What if my item arrived damaged in transit?

Transport damage isn't covered by the warranty (different process), but we'll always support you with the claim. Please contact us within 48 hours of receipt via our contact form with a short description and photos of both the damaged packaging and the jewellery. We'll then file the claim with Swiss Post and find a solution with you. Full details in our Shipping Policy.

How do I report a defect?

Get in touch via our contact form within the warranty period and include:

  • your order number
  • a brief description of the defect
  • clear photos showing the issue

We'll review your request and decide together on the right solution — repair, replacement or refund.

Delivery Issues

When something doesn't go to plan.

My parcel hasn't arrived.

If your tracking shows your parcel as delivered but it hasn't reached you, please get in touch via our contact form as soon as possible. We'll initiate an investigation with Swiss Post and find a solution with you. Please note that a Swiss Post search inquiry can take several business days.

My parcel is delayed.

Occasional delays can happen, especially during peak seasons (Christmas, Valentine's Day, Black Friday, Mother's Day). Your tracking page will show the latest status of your shipment. If you're concerned, reach out via our contact form and we'll look into it for you.

My delivery address is wrong — what can I do?

Please contact us via our contact form immediately with your order number and the correct address. If your order hasn't been dispatched yet, we can update it. If it's already on its way, additional shipping costs may apply for re-delivery.
