✧ Jewellery Care, Tarnishing & Wear
Wild Kind jewellery is designed to be worn and loved, but it should be treated with care.
Normal wear and tear, accidental damage or damage caused by misuse is not considered a manufacturing fault.
This may include damage caused by:
-
Pulling, bending or dropping jewellery
-
Showering or swimming while wearing jewellery
-
Exposure to salt water, chlorine or other chemicals
-
Perfume, moisturiser, hairspray and skincare products
-
Improper cleaning or storage
Some metals, particularly raw brass, may naturally develop a patina or change in appearance over time. This is a normal characteristic of the material and is not necessarily a fault.
Please refer to our Jewellery Care Guide for more information on caring for your Wild Kind pieces.
Nothing in this section affects your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
✧ Natural & Handmade Variations
Many Wild Kind pieces are handmade and feature natural gemstones, shells and other natural materials.
Variations in colour, pattern, texture, shape and finish are expected and are part of what makes each piece unique.
Your piece may therefore vary slightly from the product photography. These natural or handmade variations are not considered faults.
✧ Repairs
If your Wild Kind piece has been damaged outside of a manufacturing fault, please contact us with your order number and clear photographs of the item.
Where possible, we may be able to arrange a repair.
Repair availability and cost will depend on the piece, the type of damage and whether replacement components are available.
We will provide a quote before any paid repair work is undertaken.
Postage associated with non-fault repairs is the responsibility of the customer.
✧ Refunds
Once your return has been received and approved, your refund will be issued to your original payment method.
Please allow 3–5 business days for processing. Your bank or payment provider may take additional time to display the funds.
Original shipping costs are not refundable for change-of-mind returns.
✧ Australian Consumer Law
This policy is provided in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Nothing in this policy excludes, restricts or modifies any rights or remedies you may have under Australian Consumer Law.
