GOLD VERMEIL HEMISPHERE STUDS
Christine Alexander Fine Jewellery
These earrings are cheekily called "hemisphere" for a reason - they're like little spherical delights sliced in half. This means they snuggle right against your earlobe, all while giving off the illusion of a grand ball stud. And if you're more of a rosy soul, don't fret, we've got these beauties in Rose Gold Vermeil too. They measure a charming 10mm in diameter.
Now, let's talk a bit about Vermeil - it's Gold-plated Silver. It's that perfect blend of Silver's elegance and Gold's allure. Treat it with care, and it should keep its golden shimmer for several years. But as with all plated jewellery, time may eventually coax the coating to reveal the Silver beneath. Not to worry, though; you'll still have a precious metal piece in your possession.
Here are some tips to keep your Vermeil in tip-top shape:
- Steer clear of household detergents, especially the chlorine that can tag along in tap water.
- Before you take a dip, whether in the pool or your bath, give your jewellery some solo time.
And if your golden hemispheres ever need a little pick-me-up, getting them re-plated is a piece of cake. So go ahead, rock these beauties and let your lobes shine!
Shipping: The Glamorous World of Parcel Patience
Alright, my fellow sparkle enthusiasts, let's talk dispatch and delivery. Picture this: I’m a one-woman powerhouse, working tirelessly to bring you the finest jewellery. I aim to dispatch your glittering goodies the same day (because I'm just that efficient). But here's the kicker—being a boutique operation, my stock is as limited as my patience for non-sparkly things. Most of my treasures are shipped from my legion of talented smiths and suppliers to me on order.
UK Domestic Shipping: Fast but Fashionably Late
For my lovely UK-based customers, your sparkles will typically waltz their way to you in about 5-7 business days. Quick, but not quite instant gratification. I’m not Amazon! Think of it as joyous anticipation before the big reveal!
International Shipping: The Waiting Game
For my fabulous international friends, I need you to channel your inner zen master. Shipping times can vary wildly, anywhere from 5 to 30 business days. Why? Because customs clearance is a thing. Patience, darling. Good things (and sparkly ones) come to those who wait.
The delivery time cannot be guaranteed during the Holiday season, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and at high-demand times. Any further delay at the destination countries is beyond my control. Buyers are responsible for any duties, customs charges, or VAT taxes that may occur.
