All UK purchases will be sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery at a cost of £5.00. We offer Free Royal Mail Speial Delivery on orders over £200. You will need to be present to sign for the goods so please bear this in mind when giving your delivery address (home or work). In the event that no-one is available to receive a Special Delivery item a card will be left providing you with the option to have the item re-delivered at a later date or to collect your parcel from your local collection depot.

We also offer a same day courier delivery service to all London postal codes for a fixed charge of £20.00. To benefit from this service, orders must be received and payment cleared by 2pm for London Same Day delivery.

Do you deliver outside of the UK?

Parcels will need to be signed for in person so please ensure the delivery address is an address where you can be sure there will be someone to accept delivery (at home or work). If you are not present when your parcel is delivered, the courier company will leave a calling card and you will be able to reschedule your delivery for a more convenient time.

Please note that the customer will be responsible for all duties and taxes incurred in the country of destination.

How will the jewellery be packaged?

    Jewellery Origin

    Where is ASSYA jewellery made?

    All ASSYA silver and gold plated jewellery is hand made with love in our Notting Hill workshop so ASSYA can maintain control over the quality, the colour and shading of the stones used. Our silver and gold is produced in Italy using conflict free sources.

    The ASSYA designer and gemologist personally source and choose all natural gemstones themselves from all over the world. For more information on gemstones please see the Gemstone Section.

    What are the materials used for the jewellery?

    ASSYA uses all real gemstones, and all jewellery is 18ct gold Vermeil – this is 18ct gold micron plated on sterling silver (925 nickel-free).

    Fine jewellery is made with 18ct yellow, rose, or white gold.

    Jewellery Care

    JEWELLERY CARE

    Proper jewellery care is essential in order to keep your jewellery looking beautiful for years! Remember that silver and gold are soft metals that can dent, and gemstones can be damaged, chipped or even shattered if struck against a hard surface with force. Also, harmful chemicals can discolour or cause damage to jewellery.

    HOW CAN I CARE FOR MY JEWELLERY?

    Avoid spraying the jewellery with perfume, hairspray, body oils, sun tan lotion and deodorant as these often contain harmful chemicals or abrasive materials as these could cause discolouration. Rule: Perfume first, jewellery afterwards!

    Do not drop the jewellery on hard surfaces.

    Do not swim or shower while wearing gold-plated or silver jewellery, and remove rings when washing your hand as chlorine, salt water and fresh water can damage precious metals and gemstones by dulling or eroding them. Soap can also leave a thin film which makes the metal seem dull.

    Do not keep jewellery in direct sunlight as prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause many gemstones to fade and lose their colour.

    HOW DO I STORE MY JEWELLERY?

    Always store your jewellery pieces individually, in the ASSYA silk pouches or boxes provided in order to avoid breakage or the jewellery pieces scratching each other. Also, remember to keep your chains fastened so they don’t become all tangled.

    Keep your gold-plated and silver jewellery in a cool, dry place.

    Over time, sterling silver will naturally become oxidised and eventually tarnish; this is caused by the sulphur in the atmosphere, which is why centuries ago silver kept its shine much longer as there was very little pollution! To keep out the air that causes oxidation, store your gold-plated and silver jewellery in a sealed plastic bag or airtight box when not worn.

    HOW DO I CLEAN MY JEWELLERY?

    Clean your jewellery carefully with a soft, non-abrasive and lint-free cloth. You can also clean tarnished jewellery with a soft toothbrush using mild soap and water and dry using a soft felt cloth. Avoid using ‘dip’ polishes often, as these contain harsh chemicals and can destroy your jewellery over time. A soft jewellery polishing cloth with tarnish preventive will help you keep gold pieces lustrous and shinning. Some gemstones will require special cleaning procedures.

    WHAT IF I AM ALLERGIC?

    If you are allergic to gold-plated earrings, or get a rash / itchy reaction when wearing them, try putting a little bit of clear nail varnish on the post and scroll! Once it wears off just re-apply it.

    Vermeil can fade after time, so in order to keep your plated jewellery looking it's best, we offer a replating service at the following charges:

    £15 for small items (rings, small bracelets, pendants)

    £20 for larger items (Large rings, Cuffs, Link necklaces)

    We guarantee the plating of all of our vermeil products to last for 1 year, so if your items needs replating before this 1 year period, we will replate for free.
