Delivery and Returns Information
What sets a Jessica de Lotz piece apart from other jewellery?
JdL Jewellery is made personally by Jessica de Lotz in her London studio. If you’re looking for an emotive piece of jewellery that tells a story - most importantly your story - you will receive a unique piece that you have a true and purposeful connection with, that we hope will become a piece of your personal story for years to come.
How long does a JdL piece take to make?
Each JdL piece is individually handmade to order with love and care in our London studio. We generally request that customers allow 3-4 weeks for delivery of their order.
If you require something more urgently, please get in touch and we will always see how we can best accommodate your needs.
Bespoke orders - including Jeweller for Life seals and bespoke engagement rings - may take longer. If you have a time-sensitive request, please contact us.
Once you've placed your order, we will send you an email letting you know when we have dispatched your order.

What is your Returns Policy?
Please note that Jessica de Lotz Jewellery operates a different policy for items bought in-store and online. Please read the below carefully.
Online Returns Policy
All website orders are individually handmade to order and therefore all JdL Jewellery sales are final, in line with the UK’s Consumer Contracts Regulations: made-to-order items cannot be cancelled or returned unless faulty. As such, we cannot accept any returns, unless an item has arrived to you faulty, or we have made a mistake with your order. In such cases, please contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to resolve the issue.
If you wish to cancel an order before it has been made, please contact us within 48 hours of placing the order. If an item needs to be resized, please read further down.
Sale items are not eligible for refund or exchange, unless the item in question is faulty.
In the event that an item is faulty, defective, or incorrect, you must inform us in writing with full details of the order and the defect. The item/s in question must additionally be sent back to us within 14 days of receipt, along with your proof of purchase.
Where possible, orders should be returned with both the items and all packaging in their original condition - unworn; securely wrapped; including our delivery slip. Please mark as ‘Return’ on the external packaging; items for inspection must be sent at your risk and cost. The cost of the returns must be covered by the customer.
For international returns: Please clearly state on the customs form that this is "returned item sent back to vendor”. If not clearly stated, any customs charges incurred by the Seller will be deducted from your refund, or charged to you in cases where items are sent back for repair/resizing.
We advise you to post items back to us via Royal Mail Special Delivery Tracked service, and make sure to keep a note of your tracking number. We are not responsible for lost packages and we cannot issue a refund in the event that your package is lost or damaged.
