PERSONAL INFORMATION

Your submission of personal information through this website is governed by my Privacy Policy.

DUTIES AND TAXES

Duties for international orders will be paid by Gold Digger Mcr at the time of booking in the shipment. This ONLY applies to ANTIQUE (over 100 years old) goods. For vintage goods duty and/or taxes will apply and must be paid for by the customer before the goods are released. Items that are returned due to unpaid customs/duty/tax charges, are non-refundable.

Gold Digger Mcr is not responsible for any delays caused by destination clearance processes.

RETURNING AN ITEM

Please get in touch with me to request a UK return and I will provide you with the delivery details. For all returns, except where the item is faulty, you will be required to arrange and pay for the return of the products to me. Items must be sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery.

I do not accept returns on sale items or items that have been altered (including resizes) by me or by you.

CANCELLATION OF ORDER BEFORE SHIPPING

If you cancel your order before it is shipped you will be charged a 7% fee for re-stocking and transactional losses. You will receive a refund minus this 7%

GUARANTEE

I do not offer any guarantee past the point of sale. My items are sold as seen.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-owned and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statements and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy. Please study the photos carefully as they form part of the condition statement.

UK CUSTOMERS

Shipping within the UK is by Royal Mail Special Delivery.

I aim to ship your items within 2-3 working days from the point of order but more often than not, I will ship on the day of purchase providing your order is placed by 1pm.

OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS

Overseas shipping is by Royal Mail Tracked and Signed.

Items will be sent with with any applicable duties paid. Any additional fees once the item arrives in its destination country are the responsibility of the buyer. Returns will not be accepted if you refuse to pay these charges.

I aim to ship your items within 2-3 working days from the point of order.

I hope that you love your piece but if you decide to return it, please inform me within 3 days of receipt and return to me within 14 days of receipt in line with your statutory rights. Once I have received your returned item and inspected it, I will refund you the cost minus postage costs. Items must be unworn and in their original packaging.

If I believe that the item has been worn, tampered with or altered in any way, I will inform you of this and a refund will not be given.

Please contact me for the return address and please ensure that you return the item using a tracked and insured service. The item belongs to you until I have signed for it. Refunds are processed Monday - Friday and not over the weekend.Please allow 14 days for your refund to clear once it's been processed.

Items that are resized or adjusted by me on instruction from you prior to dispatch are not eligible for a return or refund.

You are responsible for your return shipping costs in all instances apart from when the product is not as described by me.

As with any second hand item you buy, my items are not guaranteed past the point of sale. I aim to buy pieces that you will be able to wear for many years and I will always make you fully aware of any defects in the listing.

Every item sold is fully checked for gold content, authenticity, durability and cleaning and polishing is carried out as standard.

The photographs form part of the description of each item so please examine them carefully and if you have any questions, please get in touch.

If an item that you have bought from me becomes faulty after wear, please get in touch and I'll aim to advise.

I will always recommend that you carry out any alterations in person with an independent jeweller because I believe that this is the most accurate way of carrying out any work to your jewellery.

I understand that in some instances this isn't possible and therefore can have any resizing or adjustments carried out on your behalf for a small fee.

Once I have altered a piece on your instruction it then becomes ineligible for a return or refund.

Approximate costs:

Shortening a chain or bracelet - £20

Adding an antique dog clip - £150

Sizing a ring up - 9ct £30 | 18ct £60

Sizing a ring down - 9ct £20 | 18ct £40

Every single piece I buy and sell is tested with an XRF (X-ray Fluorescence) for its gold content.

XRF (X-ray fluorescence) is the only non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of metal.

This is why it takes a few days for me to list items after I've bought them. You'll never see me sell an item hours after I've bought it from a market stall. There are plenty of retailers that do this but I'm not one of them.

Regardless of what the dealer tells me the item is made from, regardless of what I think the item is made from and regardless of what the hallmarks tell me the item is made from, for my piece of mind and yours, it goes for an x-ray!

Every piece is hand packed using Gold Digger Mcr signature packaging.

The outer box is unbranded so that the goodies inside aren't recognisable as they travel through the postage network.

If you're ordering a gift that we're shipping directly to the lucky recipient and you'd like me to include a personal hand written message, please include the details at checkout.
