  Workmanship Guarantee

  At Jewel Beetle we have a very high standard of manufacture and check each item before it leaves the workshop, however in the unlikely event of a workmanship defect we offer a lifetime guarantee. Please contact us soon as possible, we will endeavour to replace or repair the item for you. Our guarantee does not cover wear and tear, accidental or consequential damage.

  We believe that we accurately describe the products in our online store and that the photos of our individual pieces of jewellery display the colour with a reasonable degree of accuracy. However, our jewellery is handmade and slight differences may occur on some items due to the nature of our handmade manufacturing process. Also, the colour that you see on your computer screen depends on a number of factors including the colour quality of the computer screen that you are using. Also, our stones and pearls may reflect different colours depending on the light. 

  As we use natural stones and pearls in our jewellery you need to be aware that there may be some colour variations within the stones and pearls and that some will have natural inclusion. Any inclusions are not flaws and in many cases these are evidence that the stones / pearls are not man-made. We believe that inclusions enhance the natural beauty of our products. Diamonds of course are an exception to this. 
  
  When you receive your purchase and you believe that it is significantly different to that described in our online store or that it is faulty, we ask that you advise us within 7 days of having received your purchase info@jewelbeetle.co.nz

  In the case of any dispute the Consumer Guarantees Act will apply.

  Ring Resizing

  Please ensure you have supplied us with an accurate ring size.If you purchase a ring online and it does not fit, in most circumstances we are happy to resize for the first time, free of charge.  Some ring resizing is either not possible due to design constraints or the process requires extra care due to fragile gemstones/pearls or a large increase in sizes. In these circumstances ring sizing may incur a small charge. Will will advise of this before proceeding. If in doubt, please contact us for advice on how to accurately measure your finger.

  Free Lifetime Maintenance

  If you reside in Nelson please feel free to pop into the store for a complimentary free clean and polish of your Jewel Beetle item of jewellery.  Items are accepted by post however there will be a courier charge for return postage

Selecting your ring size

Ring sizing can be a tricky business! Ideally we would prefer to measure your ring size in store but we understand that sometimes this isn’t possible so there are other ways to measure your ring size. 
Preferably, for accuracy, we would like the inside diameter of the ring to be measured in millimeters as this is the most reliable sizing available.
If you live in New Zealand we can either send you our ring sizers so we get the correct size to work from or we can send you one of our handy multi-sizer tools.

Factors that may affect your ring size

• Arthritis
• Pregnancy
• Fingers swelling due to exercise, or hot weather or water retention
• Width of the ring  (i.e. If you are measuring your ring size on narrow ring sizers (3mm or less)  but your ring is going to be made 5mm  we advise you to add half a size to allow for the extra width on your finger. For widths 7mm or larger add 1 size.)

Is the ring a surprise?

Try and find a ring that fits and bring it to us for sizing. Preferably fitting the right finger, otherwise we can make a close guess to what the correct ring size will be. Should the size be incorrect at least only a small adjustment will have to be made once the recipient has received the ring.
If you are in New Zealand we can also send you a ring sizing stick so you can measure a ring that the recipient already has. Again if this isn’t this the correct finger we can make a close guess to what the correct ring size will be. Should the size be incorrect at least only a small adjustment will have to be made one the recipient has received the ring.
