Store Policies
Because We Care
Welcome to True North Forge, a small Scottish workshop creating handmade wedding rings and memorial jewellery using carefully selected materials including Titanium, Black Zirconium, Damascus Steel, Stainless Steel and Silver.
Every piece is handmade to order with a focus on craftsmanship, durability and personal service. These policies are designed to be fair, transparent and easy to understand so you can order with confidence.
Agreement to Policies
By placing an order through our website, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Store Policies.
Order Cancellations
As every piece is handmade to order, production often begins shortly after your order is placed.
If you need to cancel an order, please contact us as soon as possible at hello@truenorthforge.co.uk.
Once production has begun, cancellations may not be possible due to the bespoke nature of our jewellery.
Ring Sizing
We offer a complimentary metal ring sizer with wedding ring orders within the UK and can hold production until your final size is confirmed.
Take a look at this blog post for help with sizing.
Ring sizing can naturally vary depending on:
temperature
time of day
ring width
personal fit preference
Alternative sizing options include:
- professional sizing by a jeweller (internal diameter preferred)
- sending us an existing well-fitting ring for measurement
- calliper readings from fixed metal gauges
We cannot accept measurements from flexible plastic sizers or adjustable multi-ring sizers due to accuracy concerns.
Alternative Metal Ring Resizing
All of our rings cannot be resized once completed due to the way they are made.
If your ring does not fit after following our sizing guidance, we offer a remake service at 50% of the original cost if arranged within 14 days of receiving the ring.
Refunds are only offered if an item is found to be faulty.
Memorial Jewellery
Due to the highly personal nature of memorial jewellery, we cannot accept returns for completed memorial pieces.
Please carefully check:
ring size
engraving details
visible or hidden ashes selections
personalisation choices
Minor colour variation can naturally occur due to the handmade nature of memorial jewellery and the materials used, but we always aim for a beautiful and durable final result.
Any unused ashes supplied will be respectfully returned alongside your completed jewellery wherever possible.
Bespoke Handmade Items
Every True North Forge piece is handmade individually to your specifications rather than mass-produced.
Please carefully review:
- sizing
- engraving
- finishes
- profiles
- inlays
- memorial selections
before confirming your order.
Once production has begun, changes may no longer be possible.
Repolishing Service
We offer a professional repolishing service for True North Forge rings to help refresh the original finish and reduce signs of everyday wear.
Cost: £40
Includes:
- professional refinishing
- inspection of the ring
- UK return shipping
Customers are responsible for shipping the ring to us.
This service is available exclusively for rings originally made by True North Forge.
Returns Policy
All pieces are carefully inspected before dispatch.
We cannot accept returns where:
- incorrect sizing was selected
- the ring has been damaged after delivery
- the item has been altered or worn excessively
- the item was custom-made to your specifications
Refunds or replacements are only offered where an item is found to be faulty. Due to the natural nature of materials such as meteorite, fossil, wood, opal and stone, every ring will vary slightly in colour, pattern and texture. These variations are a natural part of handmade jewellery and help make every piece unique. As every ring is handmade to order, slight variations between pieces may occur and are considered part of the character of genuine handmade jewellery.
Under EU Consumer Rights legislation, personalised and custom-made items are exempt from the standard 14-day cancellation and return period. As all True North Forge rings and memorial jewellery are handmade to order to customer specifications, these items are generally non-returnable unless found to be faulty.
