Payments

We use Barclaycard EPDQ as our main payment gateway for online customer purchases. At the point of purchase, the full payment amount is ‘authorised’ with the buyer’s bank. However, the payment will be processed at the point that the customer’s order is despatched. This may be several days or weeks after the date of purchase. Please therefore be aware that the payment will show as a ‘pending payment’ on the customer’s account for 3-4 days after the purchase and will then not show. The funds are only transferred when the order is ready for despatch. The customer will be notified of an approximate date for despatch when your order is acknowledged – your payment will be processed before despatch. You may receive a ‘request for payment’ – this is the request between the banks to transfer funds.

The exceptions to the above are orders for sterling silver and bespoke items (made to customer’s specifications, including orders for engraving). In these instances we may ask for a 20% non-returnable deposit at the time the order is placed for all UK orders, and the remaining 80% when the order is ready for despatch.

For export orders of sterling silver and bespoke items, we ask for a 50% non-returnable deposit. You will be contacted by phone or email to confirm your balance payment details when the goods are ready.

All other export orders – We ask for a 20% non-returnable deposit when the order is placed, and the remaining 80% when the order is ready for despatch. The delivery charge will be added to your order and notified to you when the order is acknowledged.

PayPal – we also take payments via PayPal. PayPal payments are processed in line with PayPal’s terms and conditions.
