Return & Exchange
Return Policy
Under EU consumer law, customers typically have a 14-day right of return for most online purchases. However, made-to-order or custom-made items are exempt from this rule and considered final sales, as outlined in Article 16(c) of the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU).
For ready-to-ship products in stock, our standard 14-day return policy applies, allowing you to return the item within 14 days of receipt, in accordance with international consumer protection regulations.
Our made-to-order model also aligns with international consumer protection laws:
• United Kingdom (UK): Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, custom-made or personalized goods are non-returnable unless they are faulty or not as described.
• United States (US): Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines do not require returns for custom-made goods unless the product is defective or not as described.
• Australia: Under Australian Consumer Law, businesses are not required to offer refunds for custom-made items unless they are faulty, not as described, or fail to meet expected quality standards.
• Other Countries: Local regulations may vary, but the general principle is similar for custom-made goods—returns are typically only accepted if there is a defect or the product does not match its description.
Sustainability and International Return Policy
At Defaïence, most of our products are made to order, which reflects our commitment to sustainability. This approach helps us reduce waste and avoid overproduction, ensuring we create only what is needed based on your specific order.
Exchange Policy
Although we are not legally required to accept returns for custom-made products, we offer exchanges for sizing or color when possible. Our goal is to ensure your satisfaction, so please reach out if you have any concerns with your order. Please note that customers are responsible for any shipping costs related to exchanges.
By purchasing from us, you are supporting a sustainable and eco-friendly production process. We encourage you to review this policy carefully and consult local consumer rights regulations in your country.
Damages and Issues
Please inspect your order upon receipt and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged, or if you received the wrong item. We will evaluate the issue and work to resolve it promptly.
Exceptions / Non-returnable Items
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on made-to-order items, sale items, or gift cards. If you have any questions or concerns about your specific item, please feel free to contact us.
Exchanges
The best way to ensure you receive the correct item is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, you can place a new order for the desired item. Please note that we may not always be able to offer exchanges for custom items, but we will do our best to accommodate your request.
Refunds Policy
Once your return is received and inspected, we will notify you of the approval status of your refund. If approved, the refund will be issued to your original payment method. Please note that the original shipping cost and return shipping fees will be deducted from the total refund amount.
Kindly allow time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund, as it may take several business days.

CARE & WARRANTY
Defaïence jewelry is handcrafted in Italy, blending traditional artistry with modern techniques. Each piece is unique, with subtle irregularities, tonal variations, or unique marks celebrated as authentic expressions of craftsmanship. To preserve the beauty of your jewelry, please follow these care guidelines:
• Protect from Humidity: Avoid contact with liquids, hand creams, sanitizers, makeup, and perfume. If exposed, dry your jewelry thoroughly to prevent trapped moisture, which can accelerate wear, especially on gold plating.
• Chlorinated and Saltwater: Remove jewelry before swimming, as exposure to chlorinated pools, hot tubs, or the ocean can damage both gold plating and silver.
Silver Jewelry:
• Avoid household cleaners, toothpaste, or abrasive materials that can damage silver, particularly plated or intricately designed pieces.
• Use a silver polishing cloth to gently buff away tarnish and restore its shine.
• For heavily tarnished silver, use a specific silver polish or create a paste by mixing three parts baking soda with one part water.
Always store your jewelry in the Defaïence dust bag or box to protect it from environmental exposure and preserve its quality over time.
DEFAÏENCE JEWELRY WARRANTY
At Defaïence, we are committed to sustainability and craftsmanship. We create our jewelry using recyclable materials, ensuring both beauty and environmental responsibility.
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your pieces, we offer services such as re-plating and scratch removal to refresh your jewelry over time. This reflects our dedication to both quality and sustainability, allowing you to enjoy your pieces for years while reducing waste.
By choosing Defaïence, you support our mission of caring for the planet through sustainable practices and high-quality craftsmanship.
GARMENT CARE
Recycled Fabric:
We use recycled polyamide, a versatile, stretchy fabric known for its comfort and fit. To ensure your garments maintain their elasticity and appearance, follow these care instructions:
• Washing: Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle and place the garment in a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.
• Drying: Avoid wringing out recycled polyamide garments. Gently press out excess water and lay flat on a clean towel to air dry. Do not hang, as this may cause stretching. Never use a dryer, as high heat can damage the fabric.
• Ironing: If necessary, iron on the lowest heat setting or use a steam iron, placing a cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid direct contact.
• Storage: Store garments in a cool, dry place, avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent fading.
Silk Fabric:
Silk is a luxurious, delicate fabric that requires professional care. For silk garments, dry clean only. Always check the care instructions inside the garment label for specific guidance.
• Drying: Do not wring or twist silk garments. Lay flat on a clean towel to absorb excess water, then reshape the garment and allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight.
• Ironing: Iron silk on the lowest heat setting while slightly damp. Use a cloth to protect the silk from direct contact with the iron, or steam to remove wrinkles.
• Storage: Store silk items in a cool, dry place. Use padded hangers or fold carefully to prevent creasing. Avoid hanging silk garments in direct sunlight to prevent fading.
By following these care instructions for recycled polyamide and silk fabrics, you can ensure that your garments remain beautiful, comfortable, and in excellent condition for years to come.
BAGS AND LEATHER CARE
A Defaïence bag is not just a fashion accessory; it’s a valuable investment. Proper care and storage are essential for preserving its lasting beauty and value. Follow these simple care instructions:
• Cleaning: Use a soft, clean cloth to gently wipe the surface of your Defaïence bag, removing dirt and excess oil. Avoid using water or harsh detergents, as they can damage the leather and affect the bag’s design.
• Storage: When not in use, store your bag in a protective carrying case or cloth bag to shield it from direct sunlight and dust. Keep it in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality.
• Protection: Proper storage is crucial for preserving your bag’s durability and beauty. Place it in a separate storage bag or cloth pouch to prevent exposure to dust and sunlight, protecting it from scratches and damage.
By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your Defaïence bag remains beautiful and ready for any occasion.
