If you are unfortunate enough to have received faulty item(s) please notify us immediately with proof/images of the fault/damage and we will offer a replacement or full refund following review.
We cannot be held responsible for damaged items following the buyer receiving & taking ownership of the goods. If items are found to be faulty after the initial 14 day period these are subject to warranty terms/Claims.

When returning items, Jody Stone Designs cannot be held responsible for any items lost or damaged in the post. We would recommend you obtain Proof of Postage or send them by registered or recorded delivery. Please include your name, address and order number when returning items.
International Postage
For customers ordering outside of the UK please ensure you check whether local Customs, Excise duty and\or tax is payable on the goods you are ordering. Customs & Excise duty varies from country to country and may or may not be applicable. It is your responsibility to be aware of any duties that might be applicable and to pay such duties.
Exchanges
All of the pieces available from Jody Stone Designs are one off creations, therefore I am unable to offer an alternative size. Please ensure the size selected is correct prior to placing your order.
If you have purchased a one off design that doesn't fit, you can check with your local jeweller if they can resize it for you. Unfortunately this isn’t a service we are able to offer once the selected Item(s) have been cast.
