CUSTOM ORDERS - Barbara Michelle Jacobs ("BMJNYC") does not offer refunds or exchanges for Special Order items which are hand crafted specifically for you, therefore not produced beforehand. Raw materials are purchased for each custom order and great care is taken to make everything as requested. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at time of purchase, balance due before shipping. We guarantee that the item will match the agreed upon description. PLEASE double check ring size before ordering. There is a resizing charge of 80.00 plus shipping on most rings. Some rings, with stones set set all the way around the band, cannot be resized. Each custom piece is photographed during an extensive quality control procedure before shipping. Please note that handmade jewelry does vary ever so slightly from piece to piece, due to its handmade nature, making each truly one of a kind.
If you receive an item that is not to your satisfaction contact us immediately. We will work with you to correct the situation repairing or altering the item. If there was an oversight in manufacturing, revisions are made at no charge. If the slip was due to customer error, any additional charges will be fair and reasonable.
