Returns & Exchanges

Karolina hopes that you will be delighted with your jewellery. However if for whatever reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, most items can be returned or exchanged within 14 days of receipt provided they are unworn and in their original condition.
Certain items are not eligible for refund or exchange:

  • Earrings. Due to reasons of hygiene, Karolina Baines Jewellery cannot accept returns or exchanges on earrings unless they are faulty.
  • Special Orders. Karolina also cannot accept returns or exchanges on specially commissioned, customised or personalised items, unless they are faulty. Specially commissioned or personalised items are non-stock items which are made to order, and include designs, colours, metals, and sizes which are not in stock. When placing an order on such an item, you confirm that you are in agreement to this returns policy when you pay the deposit.

If your goods arrive in a faulty or damaged condition you must inform Karolina within 7 days of receipt and she will assist in resolving any issues as quickly as possible. Items which are found to be faulty will be repaired, replaced or refunded as appropriate. Wilful, malicious damage or negligence will void any rights you have to take advantage of the refund or exchange policies.

Each item must be returned in their original packaging along with proof of purchase. Once the item is received, a refund or exchange will be offered to the full value of your purchase. All refunds will be credited to the customer by the original method of payment within 14 days.

You are responsible for the cost and safe return of the item(s). Please ensure items for return are packaged safely and posted using a delivery service that can be tracked and insures the full cost of the items. Karolina cannot be held responsible for returns that are damaged or lost in transit.
