Tracking Your Order

Once your order is dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number. Please allow up to 24 hours for the tracking link to update.

Customs, Duties & Import Taxes

For international orders, items may be subject to local import duties, taxes, or customs clearance fees levied by the destination country. These charges are the responsibility of the recipient. We recommend checking with your local customs office prior to placing an order if you have questions about tax thresholds.

Lost, Damaged, or Delayed Shipments

All shipments are fully tracked. If your package arrives damaged, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery with photos of the packaging. If your order appears delayed or is marked as delivered but not received, contact us with your order number and we will lodge a trace with the courier.

Returns & Exchanges

We want you to love your piece. If you need to make a return or exchange, we keep the process straightforward and transparent.

Return Window

We offer a 7-day return window for refunds or exchanges, from the date your order is delivered.

  • Exchanges: We are happy to exchange your item for a different size or piece.
  • Refunds: Eligible items returned within 7 days will be refunded to your original payment method.

Return Conditions (Change of Mind)

To be eligible for a return or exchange, your item must be:

  • Unworn, unused, and undamaged
  • Returned in its original Crawford Equestrian Jewellery packaging
  • Free from scratches, wear, or arena dust

Custom-engraved or personalised pieces cannot be returned for change of mind.

Return Shipping Costs

Return shipping costs for change-of-mind returns are the responsibility of the customer. We recommend using a tracked service, as we cannot accept responsibility for items lost in return transit.

Size Exchanges

Because each piece is individually handcrafted from solid metals, please review our Sizing Guide carefully before ordering.

  • Initiating an Exchange: Contact us within 7 days of receiving your order with your order number and the correct size required.
  • Freight Invoice: We will email you an invoice to cover the new shipping freight before your replacement piece is dispatched.
  • Dispatch: Once freight is paid and the original piece arrives back in unworn, original condition, your new size will be dispatched immediately.
  • Processing: Once received and inspected, we will process your full refund or dispatch your exchanged piece within 3–5 business days.

Custom-engraved or fully bespoke pieces cannot be returned or exchanged for sizing errors — please double-check measurements prior to ordering.

Extended Holiday Return Window

Orders placed between 1 December and 31 December qualify for an extended 20-day return window, giving you extra peace of mind during the festive gifting season.
