Lily Arkwright Warranty

Lily Arkwright goods have a 1 year guarantee against manufacturing and processing defects. This warranty does not apply to goods that are exposed to excessive wear, misuse or damage to property, regardless of the causes. The item(s) must not be damaged by improper handling or improper external impacts (e.g. knocks, dents or pressure) and must not be changed, manipulated, repaired or serviced by a service provider other than Lily Arkwright. Wear and tear caused by the intended use of the piece of jewellery does not constitute manufacturing defects and is not covered by the warranty.

At Lily Arkwright, we guarantee that each of our lab diamonds has a certificate issued by one of the five leading gemology laboratories in the world (GIA, AGS, HRD, IGI or EGL) or by the Diamond Factory (DF) or by the International Coloured Gemstone Laboratory (ICL). You may find that some of our competitors issue their own certificates. At Lily Arkwright, we only sell diamonds and gemstones with certificates from strict and recognised laboratories in the industry.

In the event that there is ever a problem with your jewellery, it can be posted back to our offices for inspection and repair. We do require all defects to be inspected by our workshop and do not rely upon third party inspections, such as other retailers. Any defects resulting from manufacturing faults will be repaired or replaced at no charge (shipping not included). Any damage caused as a result of normal wear-and-tear will be repaired by our in-house jewellery workshop at very competitive pricing rates. Warranty covers but is not limited to the loss of smaller side stones up to 4.5mm (damage is not covered, but can still be repaired).

Some examples of common jewellery issues that are not covered by our warranty:

• Dents, knicks and scratches are inevitable and are not considered a defect
• Discolouration due to exposure to chemicals, make-up, swimming pools, hot tubs or bathing
• Rings that have been damaged or misshapen as a result of “hands-on” activities, such as weight-lifting, rock climbing, gardening, DIY etc. This includes cases where damage results in loss of stones.
• Prongs and precious metals, in general, wear over time and may require “building up” or restoration work as normal wear.
• Bent, caught or worn out prongs(s) allowing a stone to fall out or be lost due to normal wear or other damage.

Lost stone or a stone has fallen out due to chipping or breaking caused by normal wear or other damage. Rings that have special finishes, such as matte, sandblast or satin (among others) are particularly prone to natural wear, which will affect the appearance of the finish over time. Other hand-dominant activities like contact sports, getting out of a swimming pool or your ring making contact with hard surfaces such as keys or door handles will also contribute to a ring’s finish changing its appearance over time. While it’s possible to have a ring returned to us so that its original finish can be restored, for any special finish (other than “polished”), our warranty doesn’t cover the cost of re-doing the finish. We can quote you on the cost of re-doing the finish.

If you are a customer of Lily Arkwright and are in need of repair services, please email hello@lilyarkwright.com including your order number (if you do not know your order number, please include the name of the purchaser), and we will be happy to assist you further.

It does not void independent warranties (see below) to have a local jeweller resize your jewellery, but if in the unlikely event any problems arise from the sizing of your ring, either, the jeweller who sized the ring will need to repair it, or there would be a fee to have our jewellers repair any damage. We highly recommend insuring your Lily Arkwright jewellery.
