Warranty & Repairs

Kaarme Jewels pieces come with a 3-month warranty covering manufacturing defects for both our handcrafted and manufactured pieces. The warranty is void if the item has been misused or altered.

Our Warranty Covers:

Our warranty includes manufacturing faults such as:

- Broken clasps due to a fault in the spring mechanism

- Loose or missing stones (with no signs of impact, bent prongs, or damage to metal)

- A fault caused by human-error during the crafting process

Our Warranty Does Not Cover:

Some types of damage fall outside of our warranty, including:

- Chain breakages or stretched/bent chains

- Bent or broken earring posts or clasps

- Dents, scratches, chipping or peeling

- Tarnishing or discolouration

- Lost items

- Repairs or modifications made by third parties

- Damage caused by misuse, accidents, general wear and tear or improper care and storage of the jewellery

If you're unsure whether your piece qualifies, feel free to get in touch - we're always happy to help and for your piece to be reviewed by our specialty team.

Manufactured chains:
Chain breakages aren’t covered under warranty, as this kind of damage is considered general wear and tear. Our chains are strong, but not unbreakable and can be affected by everyday movement, tension, or accidental snags.

Breaks are rarely spontaneous - there’s usually been some unnoticed strain along the way. What often happens is:

- A small snag or tug weakens a link.

- The chain appears fine, but the stress point remains.

- Later, it gives way during regular wear and the original pull isn’t always remembered.

We always recommend storing and handling your pieces gently to help avoid this kind of stress over time.

For repair inquiries, please email hello@kaarmejewels.store. Any applicable repair costs and shipping fees are the customer’s responsibility.

Jewellery Variations

Some Kaarme pieces are handcrafted, so slight variations may occur. Some of our materials are natural resources, which means variations in size, texture, and colour are to be expected as part of their natural beauty. By buying from Kaarme you are accepting the handcrafted nature of our pieces and that there may be slight variations from the original photography.

Our manufactured pieces are thoughtfully crafted by skilled artisans in India and may feature delicate handmade details. Because of this, no two pieces are exactly the same - slight variations in finish, texture, or shape are part of what makes your jewellery uniquely yours.

By purchasing from Kaarme Jewels, you acknowledge and accept all of the above policies.
