Delivery & Brexit / Returns / T&C’s / Data Privacy


Availability and Delivery – we deliver worldwide by Recorded Delivery, Free postage.

 

Your Jewellery will be dispatched within 3-5 working days of your order if it is in stock.  However, our larger/more expensive pieces will need extra time for us to order the silver/gold and then to make your order.  If your jewellery will not be available immediately we will contact you as soon as possible with an estimated delivery time.

– Any questions? You can e-mail me here

Delivery Information to the UK and Europe:

All orders will be sent by recorded post, so you will need to sign for your jewellery when it arrives.

Delivery should take approximately 1-2 weeks to the UK and other parts of Europe, but there are often variables outside of our control, so we are unable to guarantee this (especially during December, and if there is bad weather or holidays, or a pandemic!).

UK BUYERS FROM 1.1.2021. Orders will have 20% VAT included in the price and your order will include a VAT receipt.  For orders under £135, there should be no extra charges (e.g. import duties) asked of you, by Royal Mail, when your parcel is delivered. For orders over £135, there may be a post office handling fee on top. If any charges occur we cannot refund them. Apologies!

Delivery Information to the rest of the World:

Delivery should take approximately 14-21 days to the USA/Canada/Australia/New Zealand but there are often variables outside of our control, so we are unable to guarantee this (especially during December, bad weather and holiday periods).


Returns and Cancellations Policy (updated June 2026):

Returns:

If you buy Jewellery from La Luna de Plata’s hand crafted range, and you decide not want to keep it (or it has arrived damaged or faulty), you can return the item to us.  Items must be returned within 14 days of receipt (and returned in perfect condition within the original packaging), and can then be swapped for another piece of the same value, used as part-payment for an item of higher value, or refunded in full (or mended and returned to you in the unlikely event it was faulty on arrival).

If goods show evidence of wear or use we are not obliged to offer a full refund.

Jewellery that is commissioned (and not generally for sale) or personalised or bespoke in any way, cannot be refunded or exchanged at all, unless it is faulty (and then we will repair or replace it).

In addition – for legal and hygiene reasons, earrings and headbands cannot be cancelled/returned unless they are faulty.

You, the buyer, must bear the cost of returning goods, and must return the goods using the same postal method as they were sent to you (which is by recorded delivery).

Refunds will be made by La Luna de Plata within 14 days of receipt back of the items (if you pay by Paypal there can be delays with refunds which is beyond our control).

(Our shop operates in accordance with Trusted Shops advice which can be found here).

Please e-mail us to tell us if you are returning an item, and give the reasons for the return.

Cancellations Policy:

For buyers outside of the European Union – You may cancel an order before we start making it and you will be refunded in full.  If we have made and posted the item to you and you decide not to keep the item, please follow the Returns policy above.

For buyers from the European Union – under the EU Directive 2011/83 on Consumer Rights, consumers living in the European Union have a ‘right of withdrawal’ to back out of a purchase without giving any reason.  The consumer must do this within 14 days from the date the product is received.

Your right to withdraw/cancel must be easy, accessible, and not demand disproportionate effort from you, therefore on the check-out page and the order page there is a ‘Cancellation’ button.

When we receive your cancellation request will confirm receipt of this as soon as it is reasonably practicable to do so.

If you decide to return the product within the 14-day cooling period, you are responsible for the costs of postage and packaging.

There are legal exceptions to this right, so where a jewellery item has been personalised or made to measure at your request, this cancellation right will not apply.


Other terms and conditions:

Prices are in pounds sterling. If you pay by card from outside the UK your credit/debit card company will automatically convert sterling at the current market rate.

CUSTOMS AND IMPORT DUTIES: Packages sent from Spain to any country outside the EU (which includes the United Kingdom from 1st January 2021), may attract customs or import duties when the package arrives. You must pay any additional monies for customs clearance or you will not receive your parcel. We neither have the control over these charges that are levied, nor can we predict what they may be. We cannot refund these charges.

COMPLAINTS: We will endeavour to respond to a complaint within 48 working hours.  We are obliged by law to include a link to the official European Commission online dispute resolution platform, which is dedicated to helping consumers and traders resolve their disputes out of court. You can access it here.

The new right to complain(June 2026)

Background: In accordance with Section 103 of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, the Company is required, from 19th June 2026, to allow an individual to submit a data protection related complaint to the Company, if they believe the Company has infringed UK GDPR laws when using their personal data, or the individual has concerns regarding how their personal data is being processed/collected/used/ stored/protected by the Company.

Prior to 19th June 2026, individuals could approach the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) to complain about how the Company handled their personal data.  From 19th June 2026, individuals must complain first to the Company before approaching the ICO. www.ico.org.uk/concerns.

The ICO have guidance here – https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/how-to-make-a-data-protection-complaint/

The new Data Protection Complaints process:

  • If you wish to complain to the Company about our use of your personal data, please contact us (you can email La Luna de Plata on lesley@lalunadeplata.co.uk,) and explain your concerns.
  • You should provide your full name and contact details and tell us what your complaint is about – e.g. the complaint could be about:
    • There was no response or an incomplete response to a Data Subject Access Request made by you;
    • There was a data security breach of your personal data;
    • The Company is holding inaccurate personal data about you;
    • There was inappropriate sharing of your personal data with a third party;
    • The Company kept your personal data for longer than is necessary;
    • The Company is using your personal data for a different reason than what we originally told you;
    • The Company has exceeded the scope of your consent;
    • Or another reason.
  • Please give full details of the complaint, including any previous communications with the Company and any relevant dates when these actions occurred. Please attach any relevant documents/emails/screenshots.
  • Please explain the proposed outcome you require (i.e. what resolution are you seeking?).

 

  • The Company will acknowledge receipt of your complaint within 30 calendar days from the date of receipt and we will investigate your complaint without undue delay, starting the investigation within the 30-day period where possible. We will need to ask for your ID to confirm your identity.
  • The Company is required to conduct enquiries that are appropriate to the complaint, but are not required to investigate an excessive complaint or take steps that are unreasonable or disproportionate. The timescale for our investigation will vary depending on the complexity of your complaint.
  • We will look at all the relevant facts, speak to any relevant members of staff, make an appropriate level of enquiries (based on the circumstances of each complaint) and we will compare your information to the information we hold about you. If we are unsure what your complaint is about, or what outcome you require, we will ask you for further information.
  • We will keep you updated on the progress of the investigation, and if possible, we will give you a timescale for the completion of our investigation, and we will explain if there will be any delays.
  • The Company will provide an outcome to the Complainant without any undue delay, which will explain our findings and any action we have taken (or will take).
  • If you are unhappy with the outcome, we may provide more detail or clarify our decision. We will tell you that you have the right to complain to the ICO at any point, and provide their contact details.
  • The Company will keep a record of the date the complaint was received; our acknowledgement; the conversations and/or documents we uncovered and the actions we took as part of the investigation; and the outcome. This record will be placed on your personnel file, or in another appropriate, secure, file. We need to do this in case the ICO ask for this information in the future.

Please note, we will review how we process and protect data following the GDPR coming into force (25th May 2018). Therefore, changes to our policy may occur at any time.
