REPAIRS
Please read the care instructions carefully. Like most jewellery, our items need to be handled with care and are not made to stand up to rough wear.
We offer a 6 month warranty on sterling silver components only. Thereafter, repair fees may apply. In the event of breakages, please contact us to arrange to return your jewellery item to us so that we can attempt to repair it for you.
Unfortunately, chains are excluded from this policy, however we are able to supply replacement chains at list price.
The customer will be responsible for all shipping costs related to getting the piece to and from our studio.
STOCK AVAILABILITY
We keep stock of the smaller the metal fittings we use (clasps, end caps, charms etc), but sometimes certain items are unavailable.
If any items you have ordered are out of stock, we will contact you to advise. You’re welcome to change your design at this stage to use fittings we already have on hand.
The larger sterling silver items, like pendants, rings and certain bracelets are all cast by hand on commission, so they will always be available to order.
We reserve the right to discontinue or substitute any components with those of a similar size or style at any time.
PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
Heart Strings reserves the right to adjust product and shipping costs at any time. Active orders placed before any price adjustments shall be honoured at the list price at the time of the order being placed.
SOCIAL MEDIA + MARKETING
By placing an order, you grant us the right to photograph and share images of your items on our social media platforms and/or use them in our marketing material.
ARTISTIC DISCLAIMER
We strive to capture the uniqueness of each horse in every order.
No two items made by Heart Strings are identical, nor would we want them to be!
Minor imperfections are expected and add to the authenticity and artisanal nature of our products.
The majority of our sterling silver parts are hand cast and finished, and some tiny areas of surface pitting may be visible as a result. All braiding is done entirely by hand.
