For hygiene reasons, pierced earrings can never be returned or exchanged for any reason.

Return postage for exchange items is to be paid for by the customer and Christie Nicolaides will not incur the charges for return postage costs.

Please note that all customers are responsible for the VAT & Duty charges. VAT & Duty charges are not payable by Christie Nicolaides. These charges are set-by the receiving country and outside Christie Nicolaides the brand's control.

INTERNATIONAL RESTOCKING FEES (outside of AUSTRALIA)

Restocking fees are applicable to all international orders if delivery is not accepted due to customs fees/ duties/ taxes charges.

OUR BAROQUE PEARLS

The organic structure of our carefully selected Baroque Pearls makes each heirloom piece truly unique, with infinite variations of vivid colour and shape – making your jewellery collection magnificently one of a kind, just like you.

In order to ensure the safety of our pearls while they make their journey to our makers, we choose to use hand-strung pearls to ensure their shine is protected - therefore, depending on the structure of your chosen style, it is sometimes possible to see small holes in our ‘gems from the sea’.

This is not a fault in the product, as this is a part of our artisanal production choice.
