Due to the market fluctuations for precious metals Coveted reserves the right to alter prices in estimates and quotes that are older than 3 weeks.

The advertised price for pre-purchased jewellery is valid for 3 months from the original purchase date.

Coveted customers must return their waxes for casting within 3 months of purchase in order for Coveted to honour the pre-purchase price.

After this period, additional charges may apply due to fluctuations in precious metal pricing, gemstone pricing, and production costs.

As all pieces are individually handcrafted, slight variations may occur between original concepts, wax carvings, sketches, reference images, and finished pieces. Certain technical aspects of production, including stone setting methods, may need to be adjusted to ensure structural integrity, durability, and wearability.

Where significant design changes are required, we will endeavour to discuss these with the customer prior to production.
