CUSTOMER CARE

ORDERS

Custom orders and items purchased using a promotional code or during a sale event are final sale and are not eligible to be returned, exchanged or refunded.

We are able to cancel or make changes to an order at any point before it ships out, as long as the pieces are available in stock Please email us at info@ximenaferre.com with the subject line “urgent order change” or “urgent cancel order” and we will try our best to accommodate you. Please keep in mind that due to time differences, we cannot guarantee requests may be made before the order ships.

CUSTOM ORDERS

Every piece is hand constructed at my Auckland studio using silver and gold, precious and semi-precious gemstones.

We only have one piece for each design, but if it’s sold out and you want something similar, please contact us with your enquiry and we'll give you a quote. 

HOW TO ORDER A CUSTOM PIECE?

Custom orders can be made based on existing designs and this process is usually a combined effort. Ideally you send me ideas of the pieces you like, and I'll come up with some options for you and send you photos of the stones so you can approve them before I start making the final piece.

Please keep in mind that although custom orders are based on existing designs, as a result of the pieces being constructed by hand, how the metal is manipulated, and the fact that most of the stones are hand-cut, variations in shape, and finish are to be expected.  As a result, all pieces will be unique, and this is how we like them.

If you have any questions or purchase inquiries or to get a custom piece made specially for you get in touch: info@ximenaferre.com

HOW TO PAY FOR A CUSTOM ORDER

When the piece is done, I will send you a custom link specifically for your order so payment can be made through the XIMENA FERRE website. You can pay with your credit card, GooglePay, ApplePay, ShopPay or Paypal. Please note, custom orders are final – we can’t offer exchanges or returns. 

PAYMENT INFORMATION

We accept, VISA and MasterCard credit cards, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal as forms of payment. Customers will be charged as soon as an order is submitted on ximenaferre.com.

REFUNDS/EXCHANGES

Refunds are not available, however, exchanges are an option. In order to ensure your satisfaction with our products, we provide a guarantee. This means that if you are dissatisfied with a piece of jewellery for aesthetic reasons, we are willing to either remake the piece or offer an exchange for an item of the same or lesser value, within reasonable limits. Please note that this policy does not extend to custom-made pieces.

We will not accept the return if we believe, for any reason, that the request is unreasonable — for example, if the jewellery is damaged, or has been carelessly used. Any custom pieces are final sale. If more than 15 business days have passed since we approved your return, please contact us at info@ximenaferre.com. 

RETURNS/EXCHANGE

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase. We will accept returns, on full-price items only, within 14 days upon receipt. Items using a promotional code during a sale event are final sales.

We do not provide return labels for international returns. The customer is responsible for covering the cost of shipping for both the return of an item and the delivery of a new one. Please use a service with a tracking number when returning your jewellery to us. We strongly recommend insuring the returned package. We do not take responsibility for lost return packages.

We reserve the right to reject any return/exchange that does not comply with the conditions stated above.

To start an exchange, please email us at info@ximenaferre.com with "exchange request" in the subject line and we will provide instructions on how and where to send your package. Please note that returns will need to be sent to Auckland, New Zealand. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted. Alternatively, you can always contact us for any return questions at info@ximenaferre.com.

The customer is responsible for covering the cost of shipping for both the return of an item and the delivery of a new one.

SIZING GUIDES

RINGS

Most of our rings are one-off pieces so please make sure when purchasing online, you choose your correct size as we don't offer resizing. For custom size inquiries you may contact us at info@ximenaferre.com.

To find your ring size you can send me a photo of a ring that already fits you, placed on a ruler. Please MAKE SURE the very middle of the ring is on the edge of the ruler so I can easily read the internal diameter of the ring. Refer to photo below:

[The internal diameter on the example measures 19mm.]

 

Alternatively, you could go into a jewellery shop and have your fingers measured with a ring sizer.

CUFFS

To get an approximate measurement of your wrist wrap a string around it and then measure it against a ruler. As a general rule, the size of the cuff should correspond to the size of our wrist. If your wrist is 16cm you would order a 16cm cuff. The opening gap will vary between 27mm- 30mm to provided a comfortable fit.

BANGLES

To find out your bangle size bring your thumb and little finger together, wrap a string around the widest part of your hand, near the knuckles and then measure it against a ruler or tape measure. This will give you the circumference of your bangle. Then compare to the chart to find out the diameter of the bangle that will fit you. 

JEWELLERY CARE

Please treat your handcrafted jewellery with love at all times by avoiding contact as much as possible with perfume, chlorine, skin creams, sea water and perspiration. Note that all sterling silver and gold might tarnish over time. Any questions please don't hesitate to contact me at info@ximenaferre.com
