We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. Google Analytics processes this information in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website.

Mailing Lists

If you have opted to sign up for an e-newsletter, we collect we collect your email and other information you provide when you sign-up for the newsletter.  We use that information for a couple of reasons: to tell you about stuff you’ve asked us to tell you about; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don't share or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

We use a third-party provider, MailChimp, to deliver our newsletter. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standard technologies to help us monitor and improve our e-newsletter. For more information, please see MailChimp’s privacy notice. You can unsubscribe to general mailings at any time of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing us. If you unsubscribe we have to keep a record of this request, but that will be the only information we then hold about you.

We accept credit cards and use third party payment services to collect payments.  The two companies we use are Stripe and iZettle and you can view their privacy policies and security details by clicking the link on each name.  We ourselves have no access to your card details and do not accept card payments over the phone.

We may share anonymised personal information about your order requirements with our suppliers, designers and goldsmiths in order to be able to provide accurate cost quotes and timescales for every commission; this may include ring, wrist, neck or ankle measurements etc.
