Products and Prices

PRODUCT MANUFACTURE

Valerie Danenberg makes every effort to ensure that her online catalogue is as accurate and correct as possible. In order for you to see the details of certain products, they may appear larger or smaller than they actually are. As each computer is configured differently, their colour may also vary. Our goal is to give you as much information and detail as possible so that you can feel like you know your product before you own it. However, the weight of the stone displayed may vary by 0.15 carats per from the actual weight of the stone. The weight of the setting can vary according to the size of the finger, up to 0.50 carats depending on the model, which has an impact on the price. The weight of gold can vary according to the size of the finger by about 5 grams more or less depending on the model, which will affect the price. As our manufacturing is handmade, it is possible that some of the measurements and weights shown on our product pages may differ slightly from the actual product you will receive. The Products covered by the T&Cs/Guidelines are those that appear on the website and are sold and shipped directly by the Company. The Products are described on the corresponding page within the site and mention is made of all their essential characteristics. The sale is subject to the Company's available stocks. The Company cannot be held responsible for stock shortages or the impossibility of selling a Product that is not in stock.

When a registered user wishes to purchase a product sold by the company through the site, the price indicated on the product page corresponds to the price in euros, all taxes included (TTC), excluding shipping costs and taking into account applicable discounts in force on the day of the order. The price indicated does not include delivery costs, which will be detailed, where applicable, in the summary before placing the Order. If the total cost of the Products cannot be calculated in advance, the Company will provide the Client with a detailed quote outlining the price calculation formula. All orders are payable in Euros. Under no circumstances shall a user be entitled to claim any discounts that are no longer applicable on the date of the Order.

If the total cost of the Products cannot be calculated in advance, the Company will send to the Customer a detailed quotation setting out the formula for calculating the price. All Orders are payable in euros. Under no circumstances may a user demand the application of discounts no longer in force on the day of the Order.

The company reserves the right to modify its prices at any time and without notice, subject to article 1.3 above. Products already ordered will be invoiced on the basis of the prices in force at the time of the registration of Your order.

An invoice for your order is issued when your order is dispatched. It can also be requested by telephone or email from Valérie Danenberg customer service.

PAYMENT CONDITIONS

Unless otherwise agreed, all sales shall be paid for in cash at the time the Order is placed. Depending on the nature or amount of the Order, the Company is free to require a deposit or payment in full at the time of placing the Order or upon receipt of the invoice.

Payment can be made by:

Bank transfer

In the event of total or partial non-payment for the products by the due date stated on the invoice, the professional client shall pay the company late payment penalties at a rate equal to the rate applied by the European Central Bank for its refinancing operation plus 10 percentage points. The financing operation used will be the most recent one at the date of the order for the provision of services. In addition to late payment penalties, any sum, including the deposit, not paid by its due date by the professional client shall automatically incur a fixed penalty of €40, payable as recovery costs. No set-off may be made by the client between late payment penalties for the supply of ordered products and sums owed by the client to the company for the purchase of products offered on the website.

POTENTIAL ERRORS

The information and in particular the prices that are displayed on the site may be incorrect due to errors or typos in the system or typographical filling. We do our best to avoid errors, but they may occur. We do not honour orders with incorrect information or prices. If the price displayed is lower than the actual price of the product, We will contact You by email to either cancel the order or give You instructions on how to pay the difference in price.

NON-NEGOTIABLE PRICES

The prices of our products are non-negotiable as we have a very fair pricing policy and operate on small margins to be as close as possible to our customers' budgets. The final price of our creations is the result of the costs of French artisanal manufacturing and the prices of the premium raw materials we select for you, such as gold and precious stones.

Delivery

Each piece of jewelry takes 6 to 8 weeks to be made.

The products are delivered by post with declared value and insured by us in the following geographical areas:
– Metropolitan France
– Corsica

The company undertakes to make every material and human effort to deliver the products within the shortest possible timeframe. These can vary depending on the customer's geographical area, the chosen delivery method, or the product ordered. In the event that delivery is impossible, due to an error in the address provided by the customer, the company will contact the customer as quickly as possible to obtain a new delivery address, and any additional delivery costs will be borne by the customer.
Furthermore, the company cannot be held liable for reasons related to exceeding delivery times:

In periods of high demand, such as the end-of-year festive periods, for delays caused by reasons of force majeure, i.e. due to the occurrence of an unforeseeable, irresistible event beyond its control, for events attributable exclusively to the carrier responsible for the delivery.

Delivery is made, according to the customer’s choice and at the prices indicated on the website, to the address specified by the customer when ordering, either by standard post, or to the company’s shop chosen by the customer at the time of placing their order.

OWNERSHIP - RISKS

Ownership and risks in the jewellery will transfer upon delivery of the products. However, if: (i) your parcel is returned to us by the carrier because the address was incorrect or you did not claim it within the allotted time, (ii) you have not responded to our telephone calls, voicemails, and emails notifying you of the situation (particularly if the email addresses and telephone numbers you provided us are incorrect), and we have therefore been unable to contact you for a period of 4 months from the dispatch of the parcel, the company reserves ownership of the products and may dispose of them freely. The company will retain any deposits paid for the manufacture of the bespoke jewellery, and you agree to have no recourse to recover the sums paid or the unclaimed products. Certain measurements indicated on our product pages may differ slightly from the actual product you will receive.
