1. Payment
At the Moonwake Jewelry webshop, various payment methods are offered such as WooCommerce Payments, Direct bank transfer, and Paypal. Upon checkout, customers can choose any of these options to pay for their orders. Once an order is placed, an email confirmation will be sent to the customer. Please note that all prices include 21% VAT.
If you opt for direct bank transfer, please be aware that your order will only be processed and shipped after the payment has been transferred to our account. This may cause a delay in the delivery of your order, compared to using WooCommerce Payments or PayPal. After completing the order and payment, your purchase will be shipped within a maximum of seven working days when it’s in stock and ready to ship.
For custom or made-to-order pieces, the estimated production time will be specified on the item page. In the event of an incorrect price listing, Moonwake Jewelry reserves the right to cancel the order and refund the customer’s money, even if the payment has already been made.
2. Shipping & Delivery
The delivery time of my jewelry is based on the production time needed in my workspace. A collection item that is in stock will be shipped within 7 workdays, after receiving payment. Please note that this period is calculated without the shipping time. For orders on products that are not in stock and need to be made, contact Moonwake Jewelry for details on production and shipping time.
Local pickup is possible as well, always after getting in touch with Moonwake Jewelry about it to make a pickup appointment.
Your order will be standardly shipped with Bpost (within Belgium as well as for Europe, for Europe it’s DHL/Bpost EU). A track and trace code will be emailed to you in order for us both to track the order. For more expensive orders there is the possibility to ship with Mikropakket, a very trustworthy delivery company, this will most likely be for bespoke jewelry after consultation.
Shipping duration and expected delivery will vary for each country and delay must always be taken into consideration. Any additional costs such as import costs, customs and sales taxes are for the customer. Moonwake Jewelry is not responsible for any delays, damage or loss once the package has been handed over to the postal service.
Worldwide shipping is offered.
3. Bespoke jewelry / Custom made orders
Bespoke jewelry (custom made orders) will always be unique in design whether it’s in the big or in the small details. Designs may be similar but always vary with factors such as texture, size or stone. Custom orders will be designed by Moonwake Jewelry by the guidance of the customer. The process for this takes up time because of the consultation, search for the right materials, design and production time is all unique. During this process you will be informed about the estimated time schedule. Please be considerate of ongoing projects with my work as well as time for my personal life.
Before placing an order, please make sure you know your correct size. To guarantee a perfect fit I suggest paying a visit to my atelier or a local jeweler where the size can be measured correctly. Note that I communicate and measure in European sizing.
When ordering a ring from my collection in a custom size or ordering a bespoke ring, the ring will be made in the size either given by the customer or measured by me. To measure a ring at home, please first read some tips about it on this page. Custom rings will be made in the provided Eu size by the customer. In case the custom ring with the provided size doesn’t fit due to a wrong measurement, resizing is not a free service.
Resizing will be assessed possible with most jewelry, however not recommended with rings that have texture (due to breaking the textured pattern) or with rings with a stone (due to a risk for the stone). This is why I highly recommend getting the ring size measured properly in either a local jeweler or in my atelier.
A prepayment for the custom order will be asked in advance, this will serve as a deposit to secure the order and start producing it. The rest of the payment will be asked after production. The custom order will be shipped out or available for pickup, when the full price has been paid.
If there’s a deadline for your custom order, such as a wedding date for example, please share this information. A minimum of four months notice is needed to guarantee the desired products for a custom order. If your deadline is sooner than two months, I’m willing to try my best and give priority for your order – if possible – for an extra fee of 20% on the final price.
Moonwake Jewelry is obliged to hold on to the deposit and custom piece a year from the agreement on the custom order. If after a year of the deposit the custom piece has not been paid fully, the deposit will expire and the finished piece of jewelry will either be put up for sale or will be recycled. Of course hopefully you are able to fully finish the custom order and enjoy your bespoke Moonwake Jewelry.

6. Guarantee
A guarantee of 6 months from the date of purchase is granted on all Moonwake Jewelry items. When a piece breaks or shows a sign of needed repair, the customer may send it back if the guide care has been followed to treat the piece of jewelry well. The expertise of the goldsmith from Moonwake Jewelry will be decisive on the break or damage, items that are treated badly will not be covered by the free of charge repair guarantee. Repairs that are covered by the guarantee with normal wear, will be free of charge with the exception of the shipping costs. In case a damaged piece is assessed as irreparable, the option for a replacing gift voucher will be offered.
The customer must contact Moonwake Jewelry as soon as possible after the damage, with the maximum time period of 1 month after breaking. Please always inform me of the complaint by including photos or a video of the piece before returning the item.
Moonwake Jewelry offers a repair service for damages after the six months guarantee period as well for a variable price, depending on the item and needed repairs.
The guarantee does not apply to any cracks in gemstones that occur, since the production of them is not Moonwake Jewelry but Mother Nature herself. Gemstones can be fragile products by nature so the responsibility for endurance is with the wearer. If your stone is damaged and you’re looking for a solution, do feel free get in touch and Moonwake Jewelry will help for a suitable solution to help fix it. Jewelry sent back for repairs must be shipped back to Moonwake Jewelry with a trackable package and in the original packaging.
