FAQ's
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO WE ACCEPT ?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX), PayPal, ApplePay, Google Pay and Klarna. Payment will be taken from your credit or debit card as soon as the order has been placed. If you have ordered an engraved item or purchased a pre-order item, the payment will also be taken at the time of ordering.
WHAT MATERIAL ARE THE PIECES MADE OF?
We invest in the production of our jewellery so that it’s made to last. Every piece is handmade in our Jaipur atelier, with 18ct gold laid over recycled brass that is Responsible Jewellery Council certified. The methods we use produce a resilient layer of gold that doesn’t easily wear away (and also happens to be hypoallergenic and nickel-free).
WHAT TYPES OF GOLD JEWELLERY DO WE OFFER?
Each of our pieces are handmade to perfection. Browse chunky gold rings drizzled in 18k gold, carefully designed gold plated hoops; gold chain necklaces and more. We also offer specific collections with retro enamel jewels; tennis inspired pieces and,; gold id engravable rings and bracelets.
HOW LONG DOES THE PLATING LAST FOR?
We’re committed to creating pieces that will stand the test of time. So if your plating fades, or something comes loose, we promise to repair or replate your Daphine jewellery for free within three years of purchase or receipt under standard conditions of normal wear-and-tear.
IS DAPHINE A SUSTAINABLE BRAND?
At Daphine, sustainability is always on our minds – because we believe that producing pieces to treasure shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet.
Less really is more. We’re passionate about encouraging conscious consumption – we only want our customers to buy pieces that truly bring joy. Daphine jewellery is intended to be loved for years to come, which is why we create timeless designs that can be worn season after season.
You can find more information in our Sustainability page.
WHAT DOES PRE-ORDERING MEAN?
You may have noticed that we often sell out fast, or have pieces available on pre-order. This is because our collections are deliberately made in limited quantities. This greatly reduces waste, while also ensuring that you get a genuinely special product.
Look for items marked ‘PRE-ORDER’ and simply add the styles you love to your Shopping Bag and proceed to Checkout as usual. Delivery timings usually range from 2-6 weeks.
You can find updated delivery timings on the product page of the item you are wishing to pre-order.
HOW DOES ENGRAVING WORK?
We offer hand engraving as a way of personalising your pieces at an extra cost of £8 for up to 5 characters.
When adding a product to cart please make sure the engraving option has been selected and that you have included your desired text.
We ask to please allow 2 weeks from purchase for your package to be shipped.
Our default engraving is a classic cursive style and it can range from initials, words, numbers or full sentences. Discover Engraved Gold Rings and Bangles.
For messages longer than 5 characters, please contact us at info@shop-daphine.com for pricing.
*Please note we can’t accept returns on engraved items unless faulty.
HOW DO I KNOW MY RING SIZE?
We can send you a ring sizer free of charge if you are based in the UK. Please email us at info@shop-daphine.com to request one and send us your delivery address.
Our Ring Sizing Guide gives you several ways to measure your own ring size, or find out someone else's ring size if the ring is a gift.
HOW DO I DETERMINE MY WRIST SIZE FOR BANGLES?
1. Measure your palm at its widest
2. Add 0.4mm
3. If the total size of your palm (including the 0.4mm) is :
-8.1 to 8.3cm, you are a size S (60mm) in our bangles.
-8.4 to 8.6cm, you are a size M (64mm) in our bangles.
-8.6 to 8.8cm, you are a size L (68mm) in our bangles.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY JEWELLERY?
To make sure that they stay looking their best and can be worn again and again, it’s a good idea to show your pieces a little love. We recommend taking jewellery off while exercising, bathing, swimming or applying lotions and perfumes. Store each piece individually – preferably in its Daphine pouch – and in a cool, dry place.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY JEWELLERY IS FAULTY?
We sincerely apologise if you have experienced any fault with your jewellery. We offer free returns on faulty goods if returned within 14 days of the initial order date. Please contact our customer service for a return label: info@shop-daphine.com
