Refinery FAQ's
Do you offer custom pieces or any customisation on your Refinery collection?
Due to the nature of Refinery, each piece is carefully curated and one of a kind and will be released in “edits”. We do not offer any customisation - Refinery pieces are sold as is without any modifications available. In addition, we do not offer a custom or bespoke service for new designs or altering a client’s existing jewellery. No exceptions will be made.
Do you buy back, re-work, meltdown or refine clients’ own jewellery?
We do not offer customisation on any of our pieces, and this extends to our client's own jewellery. We do not have the facilities to refine gold or to re-purpose / reset stones and we do not offer a buy back service or credit towards new pieces.
Do you offer brand new pieces as a part of Refinery or only second hand styles?
We only offer vintage and second hand pieces that we have carefully selected and curated. If you are after a more modern take on fine jewellery, we suggest our other Artefact collections.
Do you offer a resizing service for your Refinery rings?
Resizing on Refinery products is not available.

Can I view your products in store or in person anywhere?
