Return Shipping

Customers are responsible for return shipping costs for change-of-mind exchanges. Offe Jewellers recommends using a tracked and insured postage service, as we cannot accept responsibility for items lost in transit during return.

Condition of Returned Items:

Items returned for exchange or store credit must be in original, unworn condition and must not show any signs of wear, damage, alteration, or use.

Offe Jewellers reserves the right to refuse an exchange or return if the item has been worn, resized, modified, or is not returned in its original condition, including packaging and tags.

Items showing signs of wear, scratches, damage, or alteration will not be accepted for change-of-mind returns.

For on-line purchases only we can offer a refund. 

If you intend to return your item, please let us know within 14 days of purchase. If you are exchanging the item with another, please let us know your new selection so we can make sure it is in stock and hold it for you if necessary.

Returns can be handled in-store at any one of our three locations, or addressed to:
