Where can I get a promo code to use on my order?

We understand that our customers like to get their hands on a great deal from time to time. It is worth checking the website as we're always running great promos where you can grab yourself a steal.

If it's a discount code that you're after - we send these to our customers in our newsletters so why not sign up to our newsletter. Sometimes you will spot a code on our Twitter or Facebook or the banner on our website too - keep your eyes peeled!

When you sign up to our newsletter you will gain early access to exclusive offers like Black Friday, birthday treats, new arrivals, style updates and seasonal sales. Plus, you will get 10% off. 

The promotional code will be delivered to your inbox within 30 minutes.

Unfortunately, we cannot add discounts to orders once the order has been placed.

All our jewellery is crafted in precious metals. We use a solid sterling silver base with a thick vermeil-plating (3 microns!) of 18ct gold or 18ct rose gold. Every piece is designed to be enjoyed for years to come. You can find out more about silver and vermeil jewellery in our care guide.

All our jewellery is nickel-free and perfect for everyday wear.

A jump ring is a ring that slides on to a neck chain while a clip-on fastening is designed for use on a chain charm bracelet or charm carrier. We use either 6mm oval jump rings, or 5mm round ones.

We use both 6mm oval and 5 mm round jump rings depending on the style of the charm in question. Both will fit over the end of most chains.  We can vary this to order if you want to match a specific size or chain.

We apply a oxidising agent to ‘antique’ the surface of many of our designs to enhance the design and emphasise details and facial features. This is then removed, and each piece is hand polished to a shiny finish, and to remove any residue.

Yes, we can offer custom finishes with some collections. Please email your request and we will try to accommodate it.

Different chain lengths may be available. Please email your request and we will try to accommodate it.

You will find advice in our jewellery care guide.

If your payment has been declined, then you will need to place your order again. We are not able to reinstate an order once the payment has been declined.

• To help ensure your order is not declined when placing a new order, we suggest checking the following:
• Check the card details on your Licensed To Charm account to make sure the information is correct, e.g. the expiry date or your billing address.
• Make sure you enter the security code correctly - that's the three-digit number on the back of your card.
• Your card issuer may have declined your payment - as they do not tell us the reason for this, it's best to check with them or contact your bank.

If you have checked all of the above, try paying with another card.

1. Contact us

If you've tried all these and are still having problems, contact our Customer Care Team with as many details as you can about the issue - including any error messages you receive and we'll try to resolve it as soon as we can.

To pay with PayPal, you'll need to set up a PayPal account on the PayPal website. It only takes minutes to open a PayPal account and it's free. It will appear as a payment option at the checkout and you will be able to use paypal.

Why pay with PayPal?

• It's easier: all you need is an email address and password to pay online
