Return and Refund Policy

At Wattle + Lee Creative Co. we are committed to providing you with beautiful, handcrafted jewellery that you'll love. If for any reason you are not entirely satisfied with your purchase, we are here to help.
You may return your items to us for the following reasons:
- If the item is faulty, in accordance with your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Depending on the fault we may either repair the item, replace it, or provide a refund.
- For change of mind; with the exception of items listed below under “Items not Eligible for Returns”.
Due to the nature of handcrafted jewellery, there will inevitably be small imperfections such as, but not limited to: small fibres, indents or slight prints. We do our best to minimise these very small imperfections as much as possible during the finishing process. We hold our handcrafting skills to a very high standard and only send out pieces that meet these standards. Small imperfection such as these are to be expected with handcrafted pieces and are what makes them unique.
