Our standards
All of our jewellery is hand polished and finished. Sterling silver is used as standard except where specified. All diamonds and precious stones are hand selected for purity and colour. Diamond weights quoted are the average carat weight per piece or pair in the case of earrings or set, unless stated otherwise and this weight can fluctuate up and down slightly.
All of our enamel items are epoxy resin enamel, often referred to as cold enamel.
All the diamonds used in our jewellery pieces are clarity graded VS1-S1, which means that they contain only very slight to slight inclusions. With regards to the colour of the diamonds we use, they are all graded G-H which is described as near colorless.
For every item containing multiple diamonds, we list the average weight. Where we state the total diamond carat weight, this may vary plus or minus 0.05 carats from the weight stated. Clogau Gold is committed to offering high-quality diamonds. We share the public's concern regarding conflict diamonds and we only purchase diamonds which comply completely with the Kimberley Process requirements.
All items are supplied with either a black or white 'Clogau' tag.
Measurements and weights
All measurements and weights are approximate and have been rounded up or down to the nearest quarter-inch, centimetre, millimetre or gram. While every effort has been made to ensure these measurements and weights are correct, Clogau Gold accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever with regard to stated sizes or weights in or brochure or on our websites, www.clogau.co.uk and www.clogauoutlet.co.uk. Clogau Gold allows a 10% tolerance rate between items.

The description of the goods, services, price, currency, VAT and delivery costs are set out on the order page. The advertising of products and services on this site is an 'invitation to treat'. That means your order is an offer and no contract of sale is formed between you and Clogau Gold until you receive the confirmation of order email. Orders shall be accepted at our sole discretion but are normally accepted once credit card authorisation has been confirmed, the order reflects current pricing and stock levels. When you place an order direct with Clogau Gold, payment is taken immediately at the point of order, whether the item(s) is in stock or not. Once we accept your order, you shall pay the price for the goods or services plus VAT and delivery and other costs specified on the order page and we shall charge your account for payment. Please keep your "confirmation of order" e-mail for your records.

Cancellations and exchanges
If you realise you have made a mistake and want to cancel your order, please contact us as soon as possible. Since we ship quickly, it may not be possible to stop your order so please follow the instructions in our 'Returns' policy section, in those instances. Please follow these instructions for exchanges as well. If your order needs to arrive to you hastily, it will be faster to re-order a product rather than send it back for an exchange, so please follow the above instructions while you order the product you would like instead. We realize this means two transactions on your credit card but feel it is faster for you to get the product you would like.
If we are providing repair or engraving services we cannot cancel your order if we have already started the work.
