SECTION 7 — GEMSTONE SOURCING & BESPOKE JEWELLERY SERVICES

Valentina Leardi – Jewellery and Gemstones offers:

gemstone sourcing (brokering)
bespoke jewellery design
made-to-order jewellery

These services may be commissioned individually or combined.

Due to the personalized nature of these services, they are considered custom-made goods under EU consumer law and are not subject to standard withdrawal rights once work begins.


7.1 Gemstone Sourcing (Gemstone Brokering)

Upon request, we may source natural gemstones through our network of trusted international suppliers.

Clients are presented with gemstone options matching requested specifications and the agreed purchase amount.

Deposit

To secure a gemstone:

A non-refundable deposit equal to 50% of the agreed purchase amount is required.

This deposit compensates sourcing work, supplier commitments, and administrative costs.

Final Payment

The remaining 50% balance must be paid before the gemstone is shipped from our premises to the client.

Certification

All brokered gemstones are delivered with an independent gemological certificate issued by a recognized laboratory.

Natural Stone Disclaimer

Natural gemstones may show variations in:

• color
• inclusions
• optical characteristics

These natural features do not constitute defects.


7.2 Bespoke Jewellery Design & Production

We offer bespoke jewellery created in collaboration with the client.

The process typically includes:

• design consultation
• gemstone selection
• design approval
• production.

Deposit

A non-refundable deposit equal to 50% of the agreed final jewellery price is required before production begins.

Final Payment

The remaining balance must be paid before shipment from our premises.

Stone Approval Before Setting

For projects involving gemstones, the selected stone will be presented for approval before setting.

Once a gemstone has been mounted into the jewellery piece, it cannot be replaced or returned.


7.3 Combined Gemstone Sourcing & Jewellery Creation

For projects involving both gemstone sourcing and jewellery creation:

50% non-refundable deposit of the total project budget is required before gemstone sourcing begins
50% balance due before shipment from our premises


7.4 Jewellery Design Using a Gemstone from Our Stock

Clients may commission jewellery using gemstones already owned by Valentina Leardi – Jewellery and Gemstones.

Payment terms:

100% payment of the gemstone price when the stone is reserved for the project
50% non-refundable deposit of the jewellery production price before production begins
remaining 50% of jewellery production price due before shipment

Once a gemstone from our inventory is reserved for a bespoke project it is considered committed to that project and cannot be refunded.


SECTION 8 — MADE-TO-ORDER JEWELLERY

All jewellery sold through this Website—including ready-made designs shown on product pages—is manufactured specifically for each customer after purchase.

Ready-made designs are therefore made-to-order items, not pre-manufactured inventory.

For these designs:

full payment is required at checkout
• production begins after order confirmation
• delivery time is typically 6–8 weeks

Because these items are produced specifically for the customer, they are considered custom-made goods and cannot be returned or refunded once production begins.


SECTION 9 — RETURNS

Returns are accepted only for gemstones that are part of our existing stock inventory and purchased directly through our Website.

Conditions:

• return request within 14 days of delivery
• gemstone must be unused and in original condition
• buyer pays return shipping and insurance

The following items cannot be returned:

• brokered gemstones
• bespoke jewellery
• made-to-order jewellery
• gemstones reserved for custom projects.
