Purchasing Jewellery by Layaway Plan


Please note that if you would like to apply for regular finance, for clients in the UK we now offer 12 months 0% APR finance, along with several options upto 48 months low interest finance for purchases over £500.00


What is Layaway?


Layaway offers buyers a payment plan before receiving items, unlike jewellery finance which involves a credit agreement typically provided by a third party financial institution such as a bank. Under the Layaway plan, buyers agree to pay over an agreed term but don't receive the item until full payment is made. In contrast, when finance is arranged for a purchase, items are sent once made and monthly payments are made for an agreed period of time after delivery.

Layaway plans have been popular in the USA for many years, and we ourselves have been operating this way since 2007 where clients require a flexible method of purchasing an item. An Engagement Ring purchased by the layaway method is provided with the same refund/exchange reassurance as any other item of jewellery. Our only stipulation is that should an item be cancelled after one week of the deposit payment, all monies are refunded apart from a 5% fee to cover administrative and scrapping costs of the item we would have completed and aside for you. We offer a very wide range of Engagement Rings, in many styles, and each ring tends to be made to order, requiring approx. 3-6 weeks worth of work to produce the rings.
