Alterations and Exchanges Policies
Necklace Chains and Bracelet Chain Lengths-
It is easy to order the wrong chain length on your jewellery, especially if it is a gift. Whilst it is not ideal having to exchange a chain, it is not the end of the world and it is something we can exchange or alter for you.
From time to time, a customer may wish to change a chain length if the purchased chain is too short or long. Please note that Alyssa Smith Jewellery Limited is happy to exchange a chain for a longer or shorter chain at a small additional cost, plus return postage costs within 28 days of purchase of the item, providing the chain to exchange is new and unworn, and in original condition.
It will be the responsibility of the customer to safely return the item to Alyssa Smith Jewellery to exchange or alter, and a small additional fee for alterations will need to be paid. A customer will also need to pay return postage for the item after the alteration has been made. The additional return postage will depend on the value of the item being altered. Please contact us for details and prices if this is something you would like to find out more about.
After 28 days of purchase, we cannot accept any jewellery for exchanges, and the customer will need to purchase a new necklace chain from us, or an extender chain. For bracelets, we may charge for a new bracelet chain, or extension chain.
Please contact us with your query, as we now stock many chain types.
If a necklace or bracelet chain is faulty, Alyssa Smith Jewellery will exchange or fix any the item within 1 year (12 months) from the date the item was ordered, providing the chain has not been caught, snagged, pulled, tangled or snapped, or has broken due to fair wear and tear.
A customer will need to report any breakages in writing with supporting photographic evidence, and return the chain to us within 7 days of reporting it to arrange an exchange, along with the original order number, order name and date of order, as well as return delivery address. Please note, any returns outside of this time may not be accepted.
After this time period of 1 year (365 days) has ended, it will be the responsibility of the customer to purchase a new chain if needed. Please contact us if you would like to purchase a new chain from Alyssa Smith Jewellery, and we will be happy to help provide you with all options. We also sell additional chains, so if you would like to purchase a longer or shorter chain, do get in touch with us or find things like additional chains, extension chains and spare earring backs for sale on our website
Remember we are always around to help advise you, so please do get in touch with any queries you have
Non Standard Size Anklets and Bracelet Lengths
If you require a bracelet or anklet length that we do not sell as standard on our website, then this is something we can help you with. Although we cannot alter every piece of our jewellery, due to certain chain types, with most of our collections- it is possible!
Please do get in touch with us if you need something longer or shorter than the standard length, and be sure to measure the length you require carefully. Please double check your specified length before submitting it, as once we have made it to this length for you, it will become ‘bespoke’ and non returnable/exchangeable.
This is because if you have specified the length of your item to be different from the length stated on the website, as this makes the piece bespoke and unsellable to another customer.
However, if you do order the wrong length (these things happen!) we will be happy to alter it again for you at a small fee, plus return postage to the customer. It will be your responsibility as the customer to safely return the item of jewellery back to us for alterations, so please do get in touch with us to find out about how to safely return your jewellery to us for an alteration
Any alterations for jewellery will always be happily carried out by team alyssa, as we want your jewellery to be the perfect fit for you! No one wants a piece of jewellery which just sits in the box and never gets worn, do they!
Clasps for Charms- Alterations and Exchanges
We offer several types of clasps for our charms, including a standard trigger clasp which fits our own bracelets, or adapted clasps known as ‘sliders’ which are compatible with most Pandora bracelets. We also offer a round 6mm ring, which is ideal for sliding our charms onto your existing pendants – be careful about layering up pendants on chains though, you will need to make sure the weight of the charms are suitable for the type of chain you have, so that it does not snap!
If you have received your order and realise you have purchased the wrong clasp on your charm (these things happen!) we will happily alter this for you at a small cost, plus return postage. It will be your responsibility as the customer to safely return the charm to us so we can carry out the alteration for you.
Please ensure your charm is returned within 28 days of receiving your order for this option, and is unworn, and in its original condition.
Necklace/Bracelet Clasps – Adapted, amending and exchanging
If you struggle with clasps due to mobility issues or long finger nails, we can alter a standard clasp on most of our necklaces, bracelets and anklets for either a longer or larger clasp, or in some instances, a magnetic clasp. This will be chargeable, and the charge would depend on the type of clasp you would like. If you would like to enquire about this before placing your order, then please do get in touch and we can happily talk you through your options. We alter very many of our pieces of jewellery so that our customers around the world can enjoy our pieces, and we would be happy to do the same for you too.
If you have a bracelet, necklace or anklet already and would like to enquire about having a new clasp put on in place of the current one, please get in touch and send us a photograph of the item(s) you would like to alter, so we can give you all of the options available. We will look forward to hearing from you

Pre Order Items – What happens?
At Alyssa Smith Jewellery, we often sell ‘pre-order’ products. The term ‘pre order’ refers to a product which has not been made yet, or has not finished being made. These products are available to order on our website, along with an estimated delivery date, which will be stated on the product title and description at the time of ordering.
Pre order items will not be shipped out within our normal dispatch time frame, so please refer to individual product descriptions for pre order delivery times.
Ordering a pre order item with an in stock item
If a customer has ordered a pre-order item, along with an item which is in stock- it is normal practice for Alyssa Smith Jewellery to hold onto the entire order, and send it as a complete order once the pre order item is also ready.
If a customer would prefer us to split the order and send the item(s) which is in stock and available at the current time, and then send the pre order item once it is finished being made, at separate times, then please do let us know and we will be happy to arrange this for you. We would recommend you phone us or send us an email so we can arrange this for you.
UK pre orders- Please note- If you request to split an order and delivery is within the UK, you may be required to pay a postage charge for the 2nd delivery at a small cost. Please do contact us to find out more about this.
International pre orders- Please note- If you request to split an order and delivery is oversees, you will also be asked to pay a second postage to cover the two separate shipping costs, which will be charged at £10.
How do I know if an item I have ordered is a pre order item?
All pre order items will have a tick box on the product, and by ticking the box, it will allow you to order and pay for the item.
Without ticking the box, you will not be able to add the pre order item to your basket. This is an extra feature of Alyssa Smith Jewellery so that we know each customer has understood and agreed to ordering a pre-order item.
Pre order items will also be called ‘pre order’ in the product title.
Each pre order item will have a different delivery date, so be sure to check this when ordering if you require your jewellery for a certain date.

Once you are ready to proceed with a bespoke jewellery project
Once you are happy with your design specifications for your project, and have confirmed via email that all details are correct on your paperwork, and that you are ready to go ahead, we can proceed with your order for your lovely bespoke jewellery.
Alyssa Smith Jewellery must take the payment for any bespoke jewellery before we can proceed with an order. Our bespoke jewellery quotes are valid for 14 days from date of issue due to the fluctuations in metal prices, so please do bear this in mind. We do reserve the right to change a quote within this time frame if there is a change in metal prices, but this is a rare occurrence.
We also may change the turnaround time for a bespoke project without notice, if a member of staff is unexpectedly ill or unable to work on the project, or if external factors affect our work.
Please note that if you have requested a sketch of how your bespoke jewellery will look, we will match the sketch as closely as possible when translated into your precious metal jewellery, but please bear in mind that any sketches are just an indication of how the finished jewellery will look- and because the jewellery is hand made and hand cut, some slight variations from the sketch and the final finished jewellery will occur.
Once an order for bespoke jewellery has been placed and paid for, we take this as your acceptance of our terms and conditions on bespoke jewellery. No major changes can be made once you have confirmed the design and once you have paid, and your order cannot be cancelled or refunded at any point.
Any changes made to a bespoke order after acceptance of specifications and payment may incur a charge. No refunds will be given on any bespoke piece of jewellery at any time.
Alterations may be made after a bespoke piece has been received, but will incur an additional charge- For example, if you require a different chain length, alternative clasp or other alteration to your final piece, Alyssa Smith Jewellery will be happy to help, but this will not be included in your original price.
Alyssa Smith Jewellery accept payments via paypal, BACS/bank transfer, or over the phone via credit/debit card for bespoke jewellery- but we won’t allow you to make the payment for your bespoke piece until we know you are completely happy with the design and ready to proceed. We do not accept American Express, sorry!
Any changes you make to your bespoke piece after the specifications have been confirmed by the recipient will incur an additional charge.
Any jewellery with touching metal parts, for example; two silver or gold charms that hang together and touch will scratch and rub together over time, so please do bear this in mind when considering your design ideas. If you would like to discuss the practicality and wearability of your bespoke jewellery idea before proceeding, we’re more than happy to help- it’s what we’re best at!
Please note, jewellery will tarnish over time, but we have a page on our website dedicated to showing you how to look after your jewellery to keep it looking shiny and new. We recommend regularly cleaning your jewellery to keep it looking brilliant.
By agreeing to go ahead with any bespoke piece, you accept our terms and conditions as stated in the bespoke Terms and Conditions section of Alyssa Smith Jewellery LTD website.
Whilst team Alyssa will do their best to meet all stated turnaround times of both our online products, and bespoke jewellery, please note they are only approximate times and delays can happen from time to time. Any delays shall not constitute a breach of terms and will not entitle the purchaser to hold the company liable.
From time to time, Alyssa Smith Jewellery LTD may post ‘progress’ and ‘finished’ photographs of bespoke jewellery on our social media feeds and/or newsletters. If you place an order for a bespoke piece and would prefer us not to do this at the time of making, then please do let us know.
If your order is a special gift and you would like us to hold off of posting images on social media until you have given the gift, please make us aware of this at the time of payment, so we can include this in your project details. Please also provide us with the date of when we are able to post photographs of the finished item(s).
All finished bespoke jewellery will be photographed and images will be posted on our social media pages, as well as being added to our bespoke gallery at Alyssa Smith Jewellery on our website.
