PURCHASE & RETURNS POLICIES
-
All of our items are genuine antique, vintage & preloved pieces.
We try our absolute best to correctly date our items, using our 35 years experience to identify their stones, cuts, and history. Any slight errors made, are purely accidental & not meant to be misleading in any way.
Our gemstones are all checked by a specialist & unless otherwise stated, are natural stones.
As hallmarking only became law in the mid 1970’s and many of our pieces are dated before this time, we have a number of items that are therefore not hallmarked.
These pieces are professionally tested in order to verify their metal content, this will be stated in the items description.
Our collection is thoroughly checked & appraised by ourselves as well as our expert jeweller before listing for sale.
We would not intentionally list an item that would be deemed as damaged or faulty.
All of our items have been worn & preloved. They may well show some light signs of wear, which we will always try our best to show in our photo & videography.
We are happy to offer a one month guarantee for our pieces should any problems be encountered after sale.
Valuation certificates can be provided on request for insurance purposes.
-
Unless otherwise stated, any sizing or colour assessments attributed to diamonds or coloured gemstones are made without disturbing the integrity of the piece.
The assessments represent close approximations, due to limitations imposed by the mount or setting.
We will not consider the opinion of any other 3rd party.
Should you feel that your item has been misrepresented then please return the item within 14 days and we will pay for an independent assessment to be carried out by a qualified and experienced gemologist/antique jewellery expert.
Any unauthorised testing will result in no refunds being made under any circumstances.
If the item is been proven to be misrepresented you will receive a full refund and your shipping costs refunded.

We are delighted to offer our Ruby Loves Tuesday customers an in-house resizing service. Our ring resizing service is priced at £45, which may change if the item requires additional work or metals added.
If you wish to resize your ring or make any adjustments to your jewellery, please contact us before making a purchase. This will ensure that we can determine if the piece is suitable for any changes before you pay.
Please note that certain pieces of jewellery may not be suitable for alteration due to their construction. We will always keep this in mind to maintain the item's integrity.
Usually, this service takes 2-3 days to complete. However, once an item has been resized, it is no longer eligible for return or exchange.

At Ruby Loves Tuesday, we are committed to being environmentally friendly. To achieve this, we use recycled materials and boxes for our packaging.
