Preface
This website, www.saxonrings.com (the "Website") is owned and operated by Nacre Group Ltd. ("we" or "Saxon Rings " or "Nacre Group Ltd"), a company registered in England and Wales under the company number 13975564, with its registered headquarters at 24 Brookside Business Park, Stone, Staffordshire, England, ST15 0RZ and the tax number GB 410 7066 35.
You acknowledge that any use of the Website by you, including any transactions for which you use it, is subject to the Terms and Conditions set out below. This also includes our return, delivery and payment conditions (all conditions combined form our "Terms and Conditions"). Please note that these Terms and Conditions also apply to all contracts you enter with us by means of distance communication such as a telephone (e.g. when you view items on the Website and call us directly to place an order).
Please read through these Terms and Conditions carefully before using this website as your use of the website will signify your agreement to be bound by them.
We reserve the right to change these terms at any time. Any such changes will apply to new orders as soon as they are posted on the Website. It is your responsibility to read the Terms and Conditions each time you use the Website. Your continued use of the Website means that you are agreeing with the latest version of our Terms and Conditions. Any purchases you make are based on the version of the Terms and Conditions valid at the time of purchase.
1. Ordering and purchasing process
1. Put your item(s) in the shopping cart
2. You will find a summary of your order in the order overview.
3. After completing your order, you will receive an order confirmation by email.
4. Saxon Rings will then review your order and the prices. You will be informed if the prices differ.
5. Saxon Rings will ship your item(s) and send you a delivery confirmation by email. This completes the sales contract between Saxon Rings and you.
If you choose to collect your item(s) in one of our stores, Saxon Rings will send you a confirmation in case your order is accepted. This completes the sales contract between Saxon Rings and you. Saxon Rings will inform you once your item(s) are available for collection.
1.1 When you order items ("Goods") from us online, the final details of your order will be displayed on the "Order Summary" page. After checking the details, you will be asked to place your order ("Order"). After you have placed your order, we will immediately email you a confirmation that your order has been received ("Order Confirmation"). Such an email does not constitute a binding acceptance of the order, unless expressly indicated therein.
1.2 We do not provide direct access to the details of your purchase on the Website after you have placed your order. We therefore recommend that you save the order confirmation or order confirmation email, or print it out for your own records. If you require specific information about previous purchases you have made, please contact us at info@saxonrings.com
1.3 The presentation of goods on the Website does not constitute a binding offer to conclude a sales contract.
By placing your order, you are making an offer to Saxon Rings to conclude a sales contract. The order confirmation that you receive after your order has been placed does not yet constitute an acceptance of this offer. In case of shipping, a sales contract is only concluded when the ordered item(s) and the delivery confirmation have been sent to you. In case you chose to collect the item in one of our stores, the sales contract is concluded when we send you a confirmation about your order being accepted.
2. Personal information, payment and availability
2.1 Left blank intentionally.
2.2 Availability and replacement delivery
Orders for goods are subject to availability. If we cannot deliver the goods you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible. When possible, we will provide you with a replacement of at least equivalent value. In this case, you have the option of either accepting the replacement or receiving a full refund of any amounts already paid for goods that cannot be delivered.
2.3 Pricing determination errors
The price of the goods is, in general, the price displayed on the Website at the time of the order. Although we try to ensure that all prices on the Website are correct, errors may occur. We review the prices as part of the order confirmation. If the correct price of your goods is below our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when shipping the goods. IF A PRODUCT'S CORRECT PRICE IS HIGHER THAN THE PRICE STATED ON THE WEBSITE, WE WILL EITHER CONTACT YOU FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE DISPATCHING THE PRODUCT(S) OR REJECT YOUR ORDER AND NOTIFY YOU OF SUCH REJECTION. Once we have contacted you and informed you that the price is higher than the price stated on the Website, you can cancel your order free of charge. You will then receive a full refund. If an order is cancelled this way, you agree that this releases us from any service obligations except the obligation to repay.
2.4 Payment of the purchase price is due immediately upon completion of the order. There are various payment options available which are displayed at the beginning of the ordering process.
2.5 Ownership of all goods that you buy on the Website passes on to you upon delivery of the goods, provided that we have received full payment for the goods.
2.6 Prices quoted on the Website include shipping costs, unless stated otherwise. If you are to bear shipping costs, they will be specified before your order is placed and are specified again in the order confirmation.
2.7 Saxon Rings can cancel the contract or refuse to enter into a contract with you regarding certain goods at any time before sending the shipping confirmation for reasons of availability or other valid reasons. In this case, Saxon Rings will immediately, but no longer than within 10 working days, refund the purchase price in full to your account.
2.8 You agree to indemnify Saxon Rings in full against all costs and outgoings Saxon Rings incurs by obtaining payments from you in the event that a failed payment occurs for reasons for which you are responsible for (including, without limitation, the cost of fees for failed payments billed to us by our payment service partners).
3. Delivery
3.1 Shipping costs and estimated delivery times are specified before the customer's order confirmation. We strive to deliver the goods within the deadlines specified in the shipping confirmation.
Delays can be unavoidable due to unforeseen factors, especially with custom-made items. Saxon Rings assumes no liability for delays caused by slight negligence or failures to meet delivery deadlines caused by slight negligence. Nothing in this contract is intended to limit the liability for damage to life, body or health that is the result of a negligent breach of duty by Saxon Rings or an intentional or negligent breach of duty by a legal representative or proxy of Saxon Rings.
If buyers choose to collect the ordered item(s) in one of our stores, buyers can pick up the order only by themselves in person unless otherwise agreed in advance. Verification of the buyers' identity will require a corresponding proof of identity such as passports, driver's licences, etc.
3.2 The risk of loss and damage to the goods shall pass to you when the goods are handed over.
3.3 Generally the carrier is: a) Royal Mail special delivery service for the United Kingdom (including outer British Isles and addresses in Northern Ireland); b) FedEx or UPS for any other country worldwide; c) Under special circumstances, the delivery agent may be another representative named by Saxon Rings.
3.4 The delivery address is provided by you during the ordering process.
a. The goods are always deemed to have been delivered when our delivery service delivers them to the delivery address you have provided. The signature of the delivery note by you or a person previously named in the ordering process is required.
b. The goods are also deemed to have been delivered when you pick up the goods at the address provided by our delivery service on the delivery note.
Should a direct delivery not be possible due to a lack of acceptance, you are obliged to collect the goods within 5 working days of receiving notification from our delivery service that the goods are ready for collection. After the expiration of the period of 5 working days, the goods are considered rejected. In such cases, you will be reimbursed for the cost of the goods, minus the cost of delivery, if paid by you, and minus the costs charged to us by the respective shipping company for returning the goods to us. (If the goods are custom-made, we reserve the right to only reimburse the costs for the item(s) itself, but not the costs that arise as a result of the individualization of the item(s)).
3.5 To protect against theft, we recommend that you provide a delivery address that is not accessible to third parties.
4. Withdrawal right
4.1 If you are a consumer according to legal provisions, you have a right of withdrawal in accordance with the statutory provisions.
4.2 This right of withdrawal does not apply, meaning you cannot withdraw from the contract, in the following cases:
a. In cases in which the delivered goods or order were not prefabricated and were manufactured or adapted by us based on your specific requirements (individualisation, bespoke jewellery, customisations etc). This includes, for example, a piece of jewellery that we have designed and created for you which is not a standard stock item.
b. If the contract is only concluded after viewing and/or trying on the goods in the shop.
4.3 Otherwise, the right to revoke orders is subject to the provisions of the following
Withdrawal policy
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within fourteen days without statement of any reasons.
The withdrawal period is 14 days from the day on which you or a third party whom you have appointed and who is not the deliverer has taken possession of the goods (or the final goods, last partial shipment, or the last item(s) in contracts involving a single order for multiple goods or the delivery of a single good in multiple partial shipments).
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must explicitly notify us at info@saxonrings.com.
To comply with the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your notification of exercising your right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Consequences of withdrawal
Should you choose to withdraw from this contract, we shall refund all payments which we have received from you without delay, including shipping costs (except for additional costs arising from selecting a shipping method different from the most cost-efficient standard delivery offered by us), no later than fourteen days from the date on which we have received the goods physically. Excluding service costs, which have been fulfilled by Saxon Rings, including but not limited to; priority service charge, cleaning charge, engraving The refund shall be issued using the same payment method which you provided for the original transaction, unless otherwise explicitly agreed with you; under no circumstances shall you be charged fees to process this refund.
You must send back the goods to us without delay, no later than fourteen days from the day on which you notified us about withdrawing from the contract. The withdrawal period is met if you dispatch the goods before the end of the fourteen day period. You will bear the direct costs of returning the goods.
If we bear the return costs in individual cases and after consulting with you, you must hand over the goods immediately or within fourteen days at the latest to the logistics company named by us. The deadline is met if you send the goods back before the fourteen-day period has expired.
We may withhold the refund until the items have been returned to us, or until you have provided evidence that you have shipped back the goods, whichever takes place first.
You only have to pay for any loss in value of the goods if this loss in value can be traced back to handling that is not necessary to check the nature, properties and functionality of the goods.
You do not have to send the goods received back to us in the outer packaging (shipping box) in which the goods were when they were delivered. However, the goods are to be returned to us sufficiently protected. You may have to bear the costs of damages that can be traced back to inadequate packaging of the returned goods.
If the goods are in additional packaging within the outer packaging when delivered, e.g. in special additional protective packaging, gift packaging, a ring box or a jewellery box, this packaging is considered a part of the delivered goods and must be returned to us as well when the jewellery is returned. Otherwise, we may demand compensation for the costs incurred as a result of the failure to return said additional packaging.
- End of withdrawal policy -
5. Returns and replacement deliveries, inspections
5.1 Intentionally left blank
5.2 In the unlikely event that the goods delivered prove to be faulty, damaged, or different from what you ordered, Saxon Rings will offer to replace or repair the goods or, if you prefer, refund the purchase price for the return of the defective goods. In any case, if the goods we deliver are defective, you are entitled to the statutory warranty rights.
If defective goods are returned, regardless of the legal basis for the return, the respective goods must be returned in full by the customer. If the goods are in additional packaging within the outer packaging (shipping box) when delivered, e.g. in special additional protective packaging, gift packaging, a ring box or a jewellery box, this packaging is considered a part of the delivered goods and must be returned to us as well when the jewellery is returned. Customers are liable for all returned jewellery until our team receives, opens and confirms your jewellery items are present.
Certificates, if supplied, must also be returned. If the certificate is not returned, we will charge £ 350 plus VAT for a replacement certificate. You have the right to provide evidence that we have not incurred any costs or costs for the replacement certificate that is considerably lower than the aforementioned lump sum.
Should the goods show signs of deterioration (such as damage, wear and tear, etc.) we can demand compensation from you. We reserve the right to offset this compensation against any repayments to you. In this case, our repayment to you can be reduced accordingly.
For safety reasons, we recommend that you do not put the name Saxon Rings on the packaging of your return. To arrange the return of defective goods, please contact Saxon Rings’s customer service team who will provide you with further instructions. If you have any questions about returning defective goods, please email us at info@saxonrings.com.
5.3 If the inspections of goods outside the premises of Saxon Rings, e.g. with security service providers such as Malca-Amit or Brinks, are to be organised, you have to pay a deposit in advance that covers shipping and insurance costs. The amount of the deposit corresponds to the amount of the shipping and insurance costs.
As soon as an inspection of the item(s) at the agreed location is possible, you will be notified. After that notification, you have three working days to inspect the item(s). If you do not inspect the item(s) within 3 working days, Saxon Rings reserves the right to return the item(s) and withhold the deposit paid.
You must notify Saxon Rings whether or not to proceed with the purchase within two working days of inspecting the item(s). If you do not reply within two working days, Saxon Rings reserves the right to return the goods and withhold the deposit paid. If a purchase contract for the goods inspected is concluded, the deposit will be counted towards the purchase price and the remainder of the purchase price will be due.
5.4 On occasion Saxon Rings will arrange for collection of jewellery from residential address only. We do not collect from hotels or business premises.

5.9 All sizes and measurements of the rings and pieces of jewellery are approximate. However, we try to ensure that the sizes and measurements are correct. If you do not know your ring size, please contact a member of our customer service team who will be able to assist. In most cases a ring finger size may have a slight tolerance upto one quarter of a ring size.
5.10 Making a mistake in your ring size isn’t the end of the world. We offer a free resizing service for up to 30 days after receiving your ring.
Our expert craftsmen will take care in returning your ring both cleaned and polished, ready to fit on your finger.
Custom-made rings:
Custom-made rings can be resized free of charge within 30 days of collection/receipt, provided that a resizing of the respective ring and its design and specifications is possible. Upon receiving your request, we will check whether a resizing is possible and discuss it with you. The resizing may result in additional costs that shall be borne by you. This also applies if the ring has to be made anew from scratch if it cannot be resized as desired. You will be informed about any additional costs in advance. It will then be clarified whether the size change should be carried out.
5.12 All goods remain the property of Saxon Rings until they have been fully paid for. If you receive goods that you ordered but did not pay for, and Saxon Rings asks you to return these goods, you must do so immediately. Saxon Rings will bear the shipping costs and may charge you interest at the statutory rate. The interest will accrue daily from the day on which you received the goods until the day on which the goods were actually paid for or returned to us.
5.13 Intentionally left blank
5.14 In addition to the purchase price, we may also demand compensation for damages and/or expenses if goods whose collection was agreed upon and that have been made available for collection of which you have been informed remain with Saxon Rings for longer than 90 days after you have been contacted. Saxon Rings is only responsible for intent and gross negligence during the time you are in default of collection.
6. Our liability
6.1 Claims for damages against Saxon Rings are principally excluded. Exempt from this are claims for damages resulting from injury to life, body, health, or from any breach of essential contractual obligations, as well as liability for other damages resulting from an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by Saxon Rings or their legal representatives or agents. Essential contractual obligations are those which must be fulfilled to achieve the objective of the contract.
6.2 In the event of a breach of any essential contractual obligations, Saxon Rings shall only be liable for foreseeable damage that is typical for this type of contract if it was caused by simple negligence, unless the customer's damage claims arise from injury to life, body, or health.
6.3 The limitations of liability in sections 6.1 and 6.2 also apply to legal representatives and agents of Saxon Rings if claims are made directly against them.
6.4 The limitations of liability resulting from sections 6.1 and 6.2 do not apply if Saxon Rings maliciously concealed the defect or assumed a warranty for the quality of the item(s). The same shall apply if you and Saxon Rings have reached an agreement on the quality of the item(s). The provisions of Product Liability Law remain unaffected.
