*Please note all loose gemstones are sold on behalf of a third-party wholesaler and pricing is therefore linked to the US$. Regular price updates are performed in order to accommodate fluctuations in the exchange rate and may be carried out without prior notice. Dispatch on loose gemstones will take place 2 working days after purchase to allow for shipping from the supplier to my studio. I do regular inventory updates with them to ensure accuracy, but since these stones are also offered for sale to other jewellery designers, it may happen that a particular stone is no longer available at the time of purchase. In such a case you will receive the opportunity to change your order or a full refund.
