1. About Us
Bespoke & Beryl ("we", "us", "our") is an independent fine jewellery studio serving clients internationally.
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of our website and the purchase of products and services from us. By using our website or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you have any questions, please contact us at info@bespokeandberyl.com.
2. Pricing & Product Information
Prices may be displayed in different currencies depending on your location and are inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law.
Every effort is made to accurately represent our jewellery, gemstones and precious metals. However, slight variations in colour, stone characteristics, metal finish and hand-finished details are natural and form part of the uniqueness of each piece.
We reserve the right to correct any pricing, typographical or descriptive errors. Should an error occur, we will contact you before proceeding with your order.
Personalisd quotations remain valid only for the period stated on the quotation.
3. Orders & Acceptance
Quotations provided by Bespoke & Beryl, whether by email, WhatsApp or any other written communication, constitute an invitation to place an order.
An order is accepted, and a binding agreement is formed, once the required deposit or full payment (where applicable) has been received and cleared.
By making payment, the client confirms that they have reviewed and accepted the quotation, design specifications, pricing, production timelines and these Terms & Conditions.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order before payment has been received where:
- A product becomes unavailable.
- Pricing or descriptive errors have occurred.
- Fraudulent or suspicious activity is suspected.
- Payment authorisation cannot be obtained.
4. Bespoke & Made-to-Order Pieces
Bespoke, made-to-order, personalisd, engraved and resized pieces require a non-refundable deposit before work begins.
The following will be confirmed in writing before production commences:
- Design approvals
- Stone selections
- Metal specifications
- Final quotation
- Estimated production timeline
Production timelines are estimates provided in good faith and may occasionally vary due to gemstone sourcing, manufacturing requirements or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Once a bespoke design has been approved and the required deposit has been received, production will commence. From this point, cancellations, refunds or design changes may not be possible.
5. Client-Supplied Materials & Heirloom Jewellery
We are pleased to work with client-supplied gemstones and heirloom jewellery where appropriate.
However:
- Clients are responsible for arranging appropriate insurance while items are in transit to and from our studio.
- We cannot guarantee the authenticity, structural integrity, condition or value of client-supplied items until they have been professionally assessed.
- Heirloom and previously worn jewellery may contain hidden weaknesses or damage that cannot be identified before work begins.
While every reasonable care is taken, Bespoke & Beryl accepts no liability for damage, stone loss or breakage resulting from pre-existing wear, hidden defects, previous repairs or the inherent condition of client-supplied jewellery.
By instructing us to work on heirloom or previously worn pieces, you acknowledge and accept these risks.
6. Payment
We accept approved payment methods, including major debit and credit cards, electronic bank transfers and authorised payment providers.
All payments are processed securely through trusted third-party providers. We do not store your full card details.
Ownership of any jewellery remains with Bespoke & Beryl until full payment has been received and cleared.
7. Shipping, Returns & Refunds
Shipping, customs, returns and refunds are governed by our separate Shipping Policy and Refund & Returns Policy, which form part of these Terms & Conditions.
International customers remain responsible for any import duties, VAT, customs fees, taxes or other charges imposed by their destination country.
Risk in the jewellery passes to the customer upon successful delivery to the nominated delivery address.
