Shipping, Returns and Exchanges

Delivery

All Joanne Tinley Jewellery items that are held in stock ready for dispatch are sent out within five working days, usually sooner. Made-to-order items, such as rings, may take longer than this, but they will all be dispatched as soon as possible.

You will be emailed an estimated dispatch date shortly after placing your order, and I will always keep you informed of the progress of your order.

Please do contact me if you wish more information on current dispatch times or if you need something urgently - I will always do my best to ensure that you get that last-minute present on time!

Gift messages can be handwritten on a gift tag and items sent to the gift recipients address at your request.
