RETURNS 
Our antique jewellery has been loved and worn, some pieces for over one hundred years. As a result, they may show signs of wear, but all the more part of their charm. The pieces we offer are items of beauty and in wearable condition. We strive to capture each item's true essence in our photos and descriptions. We hope you enjoy love our collection as much as we do.
Our goal is to provide complete customer satisfaction. If you are not completely happy with your purchase, please let us know within seven days of receiving your order.  The statutory returns and rights of fourteen days from the day you receive the goods apply for all online purchases, and must be returned to us unworn and in exactly the same condition as when it left E L T O N S, including the original packaging it came in - once a piece has been altered or resized it is ineligible for a refund or exchange. We do not cover any repairs or alterations under any circumstances carried out externally by any jeweller outside our trusted network.
All items must be fully insured to the full value of the piece if return is not personally being returned in store. 

We provide a certified service through our trusted third-party and independent certification companies for £175, upon customer request. Certification by non-recommended companies may void our returns policy. Customers must acknowledge this risk before choosing independent certification.

Our Returns Policy applies to fair purchases only, and therefore excludes items used for any commercial nature or publicity benefits, including social media and events.

ELTONS does not accept returns due to stones that are lost or damaged during wear. We do not take responsibility for repair or replacement of stones that are lost or damaged during wear. Replacement costs will be charged, and we can assist in locating a suitable jeweller for repairs.
