All of our prices are in GBP. You will be billed in GBP and if you purchase from outside the UK, currency fluctuations and credit card charges may make a difference to the amount billed on your credit card. 

Ng Jewellery uses Stripe Secure Payments to process payments, which accepts most credit and debit cards. You are not required to have a Stripe account to purchase from this store. 

Stripe is a secure online payment gateway that encrypts your card details in a secure host environment. 

We do not hold your payment card details on this site or on our database and assume no responsibility for the provision of this service or for any financial loss incurred through the use of the Stripe payment service.

Ng Jewellery constantly checks to ensure that all prices shown on the site are accurate. We cannot however guarantee that no errors have occurred. Should an error in the price of an item occur Ng Jewellery will give the client the option of re confirming the purchase of the item at the correct price or of cancelling the order. 

If Ng Jewellery is unable to contact the client, the order will be considered cancelled. 
 

ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR ORDER

Once your order has been placed, you will receive an email acknowledging the details of your purchase. This email is an acceptance of your order completion and the contract between you and Ng Jewellery will be perfected when we dispatch the goods to you. The sale contract is therefore concluded in London, England and the language of the contract is English. 


We reserve the right not to accept your order in the event, for example, that we are unable to obtain authorisation for payment, that shipping restrictions apply to a particular item, that the item ordered is out of stock or does not satisfy our quality control standards and is withdrawn, or that you do not meet the eligibility criteria set-out above. 

Furthermore, we may refuse to process a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of our withdrawing goods from the site whether or not the goods have been sold; removing, screening or editing any materials or content on the site; refusing to process a transaction or unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun. 

If we do cancel your contract we will notify you by e-mail or by telephone, and will re-credit to your account any sum deducted by us from your credit card as soon as possible but in any event within 30 days of your order. We will not be obliged to offer any additional compensation for disappointment suffered.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these terms and conditions is intended to limit any rights you might have as a consumer neither under applicable local law or other statutory rights that may not be excluded nor in any way to exclude or limit our liability to you for any death or personal injury resulting from our negligence. 

We cannot be held responsible for any delays once the goods have left us and are in possession of the courier or Royal Mail, Parcel Force or FedEx.

Some of these third parties may store and process your information through hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions.

About The Jewellery

Q: What is fold forming?

A: Fold forming is a relatively young metal working technique, developed in the 1980's by renown metalsmith Charles Lewton-Brain.

Each piece is made from relatively thin sheet metal, folded in various ways. The folds or open edges are then stretched, either by simple hammering, passing through rolling mills, or even, for very large, sculptural work, hydraulic beaters. Once the folds are opened again, beautiful, flowing, organic shapes are produced, which are difficult to form by any other means.

This process means that each piece of jewellery is made from flat sheet metal every time. Every piece is unique as it bears the entirely random beating marks, which will vary from maker to maker.

For a more visual idea, please watch the video on my About page.

Q: What materials do you use.

A: Our jewellery is made using high grade materials sourced in the UK. Our aluminium jewellery is produced from nickel free 99% pure sheet whilst our copper is 99.9% pure.

For our silver jewellery we use either standard sterling silver (92.5% pure) or fine silver (99.9% pure) dependent on the malleability required for the design.

Where used, our plating is 18ct gold, professionally applied to 2 microns on pendants and 1 micron on earrings.

All of our chains, clasps, ear wires, studs and butterfly backs are sterling silver. The only exception to this, is the aluminium "Pod" choker which has a hand-made aluminium friction clasp on a jewellery product called "tiger tail" (steel cable with plastic sheath).

Where appropriate, or if specified by the customer, we may use 9ct gold for ear wires/ studs. 

Q: What about allergies?

A:  We only use the very purest of metals that are known, generally, to have low allergy risks. For the majority of wearers, our pieces should not pose a problem, however there is a small number of people who have shown allergic reactions to metals including silver and even gold. Whilst we take no responsibility for reactions to our jewellery, we are quite happy to work with customers to minimise their existing problems. This can include sourcing chains and findings in alternative metals to suit.

Q: How do I care for my jewellery?

A:  Our jewellery is very easy to care for:

  • Aluminium is a beautiful metal which is very stable and does not tarnish. It should keep it's finish for many years and any surface dirt can be removed with a damp cloth before drying completely. 
  • All our copper pieces are finished with a purpose made, non toxic, long lasting, jewellery lacquer to maintain their beautiful colours. Again any surface dirt can be removed with a damp cloth before drying thoroughly.
  • Our silver jewellery and any silver components such as chains can be cleaned either with a silver polish cloth or with silver polish wadding such as "Silvo". These are now readily available in supermarkets. We do not recommend cleaning our oxidised silver as this will remove the black colour key to the design.
  • We do not recommend wearing any jewellery whilst swimming as the chemicals used for sanitation can damage the pieces.

Q: Can I send the item as a gift?

A:  Yes certainly!

We can always send items to a delivery address rather than a billing address and we can even include a short message! 

Just make sure at the checkout stage that you:

  1. In Shipping Options, untick the "Shipping Address same as Billing" option to allow you to add a different delivery address.
  2. In Additional Info, let us know it is a gift by checking the "Yes" button.
  3. Add your message 

We will send the item, with your message, but email the invoice directly to you. That way the surprise stays a surprise!

We also offer a gift wrapping service for an additional £2.50. This can be found as an additional item below each product. Simply add to your cart in the normal way and we will take care of it. 

Q: What about custom orders or commissions?

A: We LOVE doing special things for special people. 

If you would like something for a special occasion or wish to commission a piece to your own design please do get in contact to discuss your ideas. Email Us

Q: What if something goes wrong and I need to return an item?
