ORDERING

The purchaser assumes all responsibility for correct spelling and information that is to be stamped or engraved.

It is the responsibility of the purchaser to confirm that your order is correct.

Any error cannot be rectified in the jewellery once the making process has commenced and order confirmed. All items are listed in AUD $.

All products may exhibit a slight variation to those displayed on our website as each item is individually handcrafted. Unlike mass produced machine made products each impression or jewellery will display unique and individual qualities.

Pit a Patter reserves the right to select the prints returned via kit in completing your jewellery purchase. All decisions are final and cannot be used against us.

Fingerprint jewellery is not recommended for babies under 6 months of age. This is because although prints vary with genetics and age, generally the swirls under this age will not be very evident and will only provide the overall fingerprint form. If choosing to order under this age the buyer assumes understanding and acceptance of this information.

CARING FOR YOUR JEWELLERY

Silver is a precious metal and will require cleaning and general care. It is prone to tarnishing and scratching and therefore needs to be treated with general care.

When not wearing your jewellery piece, we recommend storing it in its box that has been provided on its own. This will prevent it rubbing and scratching from other pieces and will protect it from the pollutants and moisture in the air which can cause tarnishing.

It can be cleaned in warm, soapy water and carefully dried. This will remove light tarnishing and dullness. You can then use a silver cleaning cloth which has anti tarnishing properties to add shine.

We advise against using or exposing your silver piece to household cleaners as they can be abrasive and ruin your piece.

Please note that chlorine and bleach accelerate tarnishing and should be avoided.

Please regularly check all findings and fitting for general wear and tear.
