DO YOU OFFER A WARRANTY?

Our jewellery pieces come with a 6-month warranty as standard. This covers manufacturing faults, such as faulty clasps on chains and loose earring posts. In these instances, we can repair or replace the item. The 6-month warranty is void if damage is caused by customer misuse and not caring for the item appropriately. Such as exposure to chemicals (perfume, suntan cream etc), water, heat and inappropriate storage, or is simply due to general wear and tear. Tarnishing or discolouration are not faults but natural reactions that are sped up through inappropriate care. Any damage to any items that exceed 6 months cannot be repaired or replaced.

MATERIALS AND CARE GUIDE

What materials do you use in your jewellery?

At Lapis London we endeavour to balance affordability with long-lasting jewellery. We use sterling silver, sterling silver plating, gold plating and semi-precious gemstones. Please look at the materials section on each listing to understand the material composition of the jewellery piece.

All of our gold chains and earring hoops are plated with a thick layer (at least 1 micron) of 18 carat gold over a sterling silver base. 

Our gold vermeil pieces comprise 18 carat solid gold (of at least 2.5 microns) plated on 925 sterling silver. The finish is far more durable than average gold plating as it is considerably thicker.

All our silver chains and earring hoops comprise sterling silver.

Our gold charms are 18ct gold plated on either a sterling silver or a copper base. Our silver charms are either simply sterling silver of sterling silver plating on a copper base.

How is best to care for my jewellery and will it tarnish?

Sterling Silver and Gold-plated items can oxidise when exposed to air, humidity, sweat, perfume, cosmetics or other chemicals and is therefore prone to tarnishing over time. Plating will also wear off with regular use over time and gemstones and pearls can fade or discolour if mistreated.

We want you to be able to wear and enjoy your jewellery pieces for as long as possible. Please see our care guidance below:

  • When not wearing your necklace, store it inside the jewellery box/pouch provided.
  • Clean carefully with a soft cloth.
  • Avoid wearing your jewellery whilst showering, bathing, swimming and exercising.
  • Always remove your jewellery when applying perfume, suntan cream and cosmetics.
  • Remove your jewellery before sleeping.

I have lost an earring/necklace charm can you help?

This depends on how long ago the earrings/necklace were purchased and whether we still have the stone and findings in stock. Please contact our customer care team at contact@lapislondon.com with details to see if we can help.

My necklace chain is tangled what should I do?

If stored inappropriately necklace chains can become easily tangled. Knots can often be untangled by using a needle or pin. To help prevent your necklaces from getting tangled, fasten the chains before storing them and store them individually.

SUSTAINABILITY

Are your products sustainable?

 At Lapis London we take sustainability seriously and we strive to use recycled and sustainable materials where at all possible.

Our gemstones are ethically sourced, and our necklace chains and hoop earrings are made from recycled gold and sterling silver.

Our jewellery boxes are eco-friendly and comprise FSC-certified cardboard and water-based glue.
