Unique rectangular sterling silver and fire opal hallmarked pendant with a hand patterned geometric design.

Fire opal is a form of opal which is so called because of it’s incredible fiery colour.

Elegant and flattering hallmarked solid sterling silver 3D vertical pendant necklace hand set with a striking faceted gemstone.

From a sheet of sterling silver, I hand cut, shaped and polished this piece to a lustrous finish, with a satin finish reverse, and ‘carved’ into it an individual one of a kind geometric line design.

This elegant pendant measures 33mm long x 13mm wide and is 1.5mm deep.  It weighs over 9g of solid sterling silver.

The hand set gemstone is a striking fire opal and is a 3.5 mm brilliant round cut.

Finished with a sleek snake chain at a length of your choosing.

This is a real statement necklace – the pendant is created from a sumptuous weight of silver, making it very luxurious both to gift and to wear – a unique one of a kind necklace – effortless minimalist style, maximum impact.

Opal is the birthstone for October and also the gift for a 14th and 34th Anniversary.

Opals are formed from centuries of seasonal rains that leach microscopic silica particles from sandstone, carrying them deep into underground fissures and cavities.  As the deposited materials dry, the microscopic silica spheres become compressed into a closely-packed lattice. As light travels through this microstructure, it creates a dazzling kaleidoscope of flashing rainbow colours, called play-of-colour.

Opals, sometimes known as the ‘Eye Stone’ have been considered both good luck and bad luck throughout history.  It inspires love, hope, innocence, purity and happiness.

Shipping & Packaging

Your jewellery will be carefully packaged in a white branded gift box, perfect for gifting, or treating yourself,  and posted in a mailing box, mailing bag or padded envelope, as appropriate.

I aim to recycle outer packaging wherever possible. Your jewellery may therefore arrive in recycled outer packaging.  I am working tirelessly towards sustainable packaging for all orders – this is an ongoing process.

Shipping within the UK is via Royal Mail Tracked 48 with signature service.

I always aim to despatch to you within 1-3 working days of purchase.  However, please refer to the specific product listing for any change from that.

Please see my Shipping Policy for further details.

 

Product Descriptions & Photographs

I have taken great care to show as accurately as possible the colours of the jewellery and gemstones in the photographs. You may notice slight colour variations when you see the piece at home – the colour will vary depending on the settings of the monitor/phone you use.

The photographs are taken ‘close up’ to show the detail and quality of each piece of jewellery.  Please ensure that you check the sizes given for each item in the product description for a correct interpretation of the scale.

Please contact me if you would like more information or have any queries.

 

Hallmarking

In the UK, by law, any sterling silver item which weighs over 7.78g can not be sold unless hallmarked by a UK Assay Office.  It is illegal to sell sterling silver items over 7.78g without a hallmark.

This pendant is hallmarked by the Sheffield Assay Office, including my sponsor mark – giving you absolute confidence in the quality of the materials used.

Please see my Blog section to learn more about hallmarking.

 

Taking care of your jewellery

I create every item with the utmost care and love and I package your jewellery personally, taking the same care, to ensure that it leaves me in tip top condition. Silver jewellery should stay looking beautiful for years to come so long as you take care of it. 

Precious metals tarnish due to oxidisation – like a cut apple when it turns brown.  This happens when it is exposed to oxygen (which is obviously in the air), but don’t stress.  For tips on caring for your silver jewellery, see my Blog section.

Refund Policy

---

Customer satisfaction is paramount to me. My sincere wish is that you are completely satisfied with your purchase of unique jewellery. If, however, there are any problems with your order, please do not hesitate to contact me in order that we can discuss how best I may help resolve the matter (my email is: linda@jewellerybylinda.co.uk).

If, for any reason, you are unhappy with anything you have purchased, I am happy to accept returns. Please read my terms, set out below:

If you change your mind

I understand that sometimes you may change your mind, or the order was not quite what you expected. If you change your mind please contact me in writing or by email within 7 days of receipt of your jewellery, and return any items to me within 14 days of receiving the package. See below for more specific information.

Please understand that unless damaged or faulty, I am not legally obliged to accept returns for personalised orders where it can not be resold.

Within the parameters set out in this Refund Policy, I will issue you a refund of the cost of the order within 14 days of receipt of the returned item(s). The return postage will be at your cost – shipping costs can not be refunded unless the item is faulty.

I ask that you please return the item to me securely wrapped in a fully ‘re-saleable’ condition, i.e. unworn and unaltered and in the original packaging. I recommend returning goods by Royal Mail special delivery as any damages or losses incurred during return may mean I am unable to refund you. As a minimum I recommend that Signed For postage with suitable insurance cover be used.

Any orders which are not collected from the post office or sorting office and are subsequently returned to sender will only be refunded once received back with me. This is known as a forced return and as such, postage costs will not be refunded.

The refund will be to the source originally used to purchase the order.

Please see ‘Exceptions’ below:

Care instructions are provided on each product listing and a refund will not be offered for any item which has been damaged or broken due to mishandling or improper care.

If your jewellery is faulty or damaged in transit

I create every item with the utmost care and love and I package your jewellery personally taking the same care to ensure that it leaves me in tip top condition. In the unlikely event that the jewellery is damaged in transit please contact me within 5 working days of receipt by you, in writing or by email. Please include photographs/video showing the damage.

I will offer either a full refund, exchange or repair. I will consider these instances on a case by case basis. In the case of faulty goods I will refund you the cost of your return postage once I receive the returned item. As this will be an additional amount beyond your original order the refund for your return postage costs will be processed via PayPal using your email address. Please retain postal receipt and proof of postage.

Exceptions

I will send your earrings in a clear sealed bag so you can have a good look at them. Regretfully, if the seal is broken the earrings cannot be refunded for hygiene reasons. Please take care to check details of sizes, etc. given on the website before you place your order.

As silver naturally tarnishes over time and this can be accelerated when exposed to chemicals, cosmetics etc., jewellery is not classed as faulty if tarnished.

For any items judged to be damaged due to improper use or when reasonable care has not been taken by you, I reserve the right to seek recompense from you for damages. This does not affect your right to a full refund.

General Conditions of return:

• Unless damaged or faulty (see above) buyers are responsible for return postage costs. In all situations I always recommend using a tracked service.
• Take care when packaging your item for return to ensure the item is received by me unworn and in its original condition. The buyer is responsible for any loss in value.
• If possible please reuse the original packaging.
• Remember to obtain proof of postage from your Post Office.
• Please enclose a note with your contact and order details or your original invoice
• Ensure the item(s) is returned within 14 days from the date of delivery.

The refund will be to the source originally used to purchase the order.
