These Terms may have changed from when you last made a purchase from Chloe May Jewellery. Therefore, please read and understand these carefully before making any purchase from Chloe May Jewellery.

​

 

CHLOE MAY BESPOKE TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

 

BESPOKE GOODS

Bespoke goods are any items that have been commissioned, engraved, re-sized, remodelled, or made to your specification. 

 

REGISTRATION

In order to commission products from Chloe May, you will need to register your details, your requirements, budget and any other pertinent details. This may be in person or over the telephone or email. When you register, you are required to provide information about yourself that is true, accurate, current and complete. If any of your personal registration information changes, please notify us immediately at the following email address: info@chloemayjewellery.co.uk. Chloe May may change the registration requirements at any time.

 

BASIS OF CONTRACT

You acknowledge that Bespoke Goods are customised goods designed and made to order and therefore agree to the following:

​

  • that you shall comply with the payment conditions set out

  • that bespoke goods are 100% non-refundable; and

  • that the date on which your bespoke goods will be ready is an estimation (and time shall not be of the essence)

 

ELIGIBILITY TO PURCHASE

The purchase of products is strictly limited to parties who can lawfully enter into and from contracts on The Site in accordance with English law. This includes the requirement to be at least 18 years of age.

​

Purchases made are for the personal or gift use of the buyer only and are not to be used for re-sale, commercial purposes or any other commercial benefit. Chloe May reserves the right to restrict or question multiple quantities of an item being shipped to any one customer or postal address.

​

Please note that by making an offer to purchase goods, you expressly authorise Chloe May to perform credit checks and, where Chloe May feels necessary, to transmit or to obtain information (including any updated information) about you to or from third parties from time to time, including but not limited to your credit-card number or credit reports (including credit reports for your spouse if you reside in a community property jurisdiction), to authenticate your identity, to validate your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorisation and to authorise individual purchase transactions.

​

CONFIRMATION OF YOUR COMMISSION

Once all the details of the commission have been confirmed, Chloe May will send a confirmatory email containing all relevant images, drawings, videos and quotations. You must then provide written confirmation that you would like to go ahead with the commission in writing directly to Chloe May via email, WhatsApp, Instagram or any other form of communication that Chloe May seems fit.

​

STARTING WORK ON COMMISSIONS 

Chloe May will start work on bespoke goods once she has received confirmation in writing (preferably by email) and have received either the total payment or the first 50% deposit payment. In special circumstances Chloe May may agree a different percentage to be paid as a deposit, this will all be agreed in writing before the payment is made and the remaining balance to be paid upon completion will be noted by Chloe May.

​

ALTERING THE DESIGN OF BESPOKE PIECES 

Once work has begun on bespoke goods, it becomes more difficult to make changes. If you would like to make changes to the design, Chloe May will do the utmost to make this possible, but in some cases changes will not be possible. However, please do be aware that this may incur further costs which are the responsibility of the buyer. I will always agree these changes and costs with you before commencing work. I will not work on any changes until you have confirmed in writing (by email) and paid the elevated costs. 

 

RETURN POLICY

We do not offer returns or refunds on any bespoke items. 

​

FAULTY ITEMS 

If your item is faulty, please email us at info@chloemayjewellery.co.uk with proof of the issue (for example, a photograph). Please be aware that a fault does not include any natural elements of gemstones such as colour, saturation or inclusions. Chloe May has the right to ask all of the relevant questions to determine how the fault occurred. The course of action to remedy the fault is then determined within Chloe May's complete discretion. 

​

COLLECTION

Chloe May will notify you once your item(s) are complete and ready for collection or delivery by courier. All invoices must be settled in full before collection or delivery can be arranged. 

 

PHOTOS AND VIDEOS 

You hereby give permission to Chloe May to use photos and/or videos of the Bespoke Goods on the Website, social media profiles, presentations and any other marketing material for the purposes of promoting the business. This will always be done anonymously and in a time sensitive matter. You shall have the right to withdraw such consent at any time by giving written notice to me.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Chloe May has taken the upmost care and reasonable steps to provide accurate photographs and images of the product(s) on the website. Due to photography techniques some products may seem larger or smaller also due to screen defects. Some items are shown larger on the screen to accurately show off small details. Colour, pattern and texture that is shown on screen will depend on the quality and/or colour calibration of the monitor and may not accurately represent the product itself.

​

​

SUSTAINABILITY & ETHICS NOTICE

All of the diamonds Chloe May uses and sells are protected by the Kimberley Process. The Kimberley

Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) is the process established in 2003 to prevent conflict

diamonds from entering the mainstream rough diamond market by United Nations General

Assembly Resolution 55/56 following recommendations in the Fowler Report.

​

Chloe May sells diamonds that have been purchased from legitimate sources and are not involved in

funding conflict in compliance with United Nations resolutions. The diamond merchants state that to

the best of their knowledge these diamonds are conflict free, based on verbal and/or written

statements provided by their suppliers of these diamonds in rough and polished forms.

​

The diamonds supplied by Chloe May have not been obtained in violation of applicable national laws

and/or sanctions and have not originated from Marange, Zimbabwe.

​

All of the natural diamonds are screened at source by my diamond merchants and are free of

synthetics, unless stated as lab grown synthetic diamonds.

​

The cutting and processing of gem materials is now done in controlled environments where modern

equipment and employment law is the norm. This has eliminated the problems of exploitation and

child labour. All of Chloe May’s stones come from workshops and factories that my trusted suppliers

have visited, and they are confident that the people employed are treated well and fairly for the

different countries in which they are based.

​

Chloe May will not knowingly supply precious metals which in their extraction have harmed the

environment, damaged communities or infringed labour standards or human rights.

​

Chloe May only purchases precious metal from reputable suppliers who also endorse the above

statement. We only source materials from companies who have a proven track record in this

industry and whose systems can show traceability.

​
