Gold, palladium and platinum jewellery can be cleaned with hot water, a mild detergent and a soft bristled toothbrush before rinsing thoroughly with hot water. Ultrasonic jewellery cleaners can also be purchased and used at home.

Silver jewellery will naturally tarnish but can be instantly restored using 'Silver Dip' as instructed before cleaning with hot water and a mild detergent.

For a thorough clean, please see information on our Jewellery Rejuvenation.

Maintain matte finished jewellery* by gently rubbing the surface with synthetic wire wool (green scouring pad) in one direction.

*We advise that any item that contains soft stones, i.e opals, Emeralds or pearls are returned to us for refinishing. If in any doubt, please contact us for further advice.

To instantly restore polished jewellery, use a jewellery specific polishing cloth.

For a straight out of the shop finish, please see information on our Jewellery Rejuvenation Service.

We offer our customers exclusive access to our jewellery rejuvenation service, where we will assess the condition of your jewellery while you wait, advise you of any concerns and give it a thorough clean and finish. On the rare occasion that repairs are advised, we will provide you with details and a no obligation quote.

Our handcrafted jewellery is made to the highest standards, but should a repair, due to a manufacturing fault occur within 12 months, we will repair it free of charge. Beyond this timeframe, we will assess your jewellery and provide a quote based on the work required.

Unfortunately, our repair service is only available for customer’s of James Newman Jewellery and we cannot repair jewellery purchased elsewhere.

As with all things, metals are subject to wear and tear. Constant wear and contact with hard and rough materials can damage and accelerate this natural process and so it is important to keep a check on your jewellery.

We offer our customers an exclusive jewellery rejuvenation service for jewellery made by us. We will check for wear and tear, clean and refinish your jewellery and provide a quote for any recommended work.

By far the most accurate way would be to visit us in store to have your finger measurement taken or have us take a measurement off an existing ring that fits well. If this is not possible, please try our online sizing guide.

If you want to surprise a partner but don't know their finger size, we are happy to advise you, before purchase, with regard to resizing.

Bespoke rings will be adjusted at the final fitting to ensure a perfect fit. Rings from our collection, with the exception of eternity rings, can usually be resized within reason.

Resizing price list:
- Bespoke rings within 3 months of purchase: Free
- Collection rings within 3 months of purchase: At our discretion, depending on individual assessment
- All rings beyond 3 months will be individually assessed and a quote provided.

Re-sizing is reserved for pieces purchased at James Newman Jewellery (online or in-store) only, we cannot provide re-sizing services for rings purchased at other stores.

In addition to ethically sourced natural and laboratory grown white and coloured diamonds and precious and semi-precious gemstones stones such as rubies, emeralds and sapphires, you will also find unique jewellery featuring our hand picked ‘rare finds’ - extra special, hand-picked precious stones that simply cannot be found anywhere else.

As an environmentally conscious jeweller, we also encourage our customers to reuse existing and heirloom stones to create their jewellery.

The quality and value of a diamond is based on the 4 C's: Colour, Clarity, Cut and Carat. To find out more, we recommend browsing the GIA’s informative webpage.

Laboratory grown diamonds are real diamonds, but grown in a laboratory using a process that exponentially accelerates their growth.  A natural diamond takes over a billion years to grow, in comparison, laboratory grown diamonds take around a month.  To find out more about laboratory grown diamonds, we recommend browsing the GIA’s informative webpage.

We make all types of custom fine jewellery, from wedding rings and engagement rings to cufflinks & objects d'art. Whatever your idea, we can realise it.

Initial consultations and follow up appointments can be booked for up to 45 minutes. Pick up appointments take only about 15 minutes and may involve final finishes and adjustments.

Bespoke jewellery commissions start at £500, but the overall cost very much depends on the design and materials you want to use. If you have a budget in mind, we can work to it and advise what is possible. Before proceeding, we will always agree a price with you.

It very much depends on your ideas and the complexity of the design. A unique wedding band will usually take less time to design than a bespoke engagement ring with multiple stones for example. A simple design may only require hand drawn sketches, whereas a more involving project may require CAD designs and models. We recommend leaving as much time as possible for your project, but will always do our best to meet a shorter deadline.

Usually about 4-8 weeks depending on the complexity of the design. Once the design has been agreed, we can advise on delivery dates. Should you have a specific date that you need your bespoke jewellery by, we recommend that you let us know at the outset so we can advise you about timescale.

All James Newman bespoke jewellery is designed and hand crafted in house, using ethically sourced gemstones and precious metals, where possible, from the local area, significantly reducing our carbon footprint.

Our products can be purchased excluding VAT when ordering from a country outside of the UK. VAT can only be excluded from orders when directly exporting to products, i.e. delivered straight to your address.

Unfortunately we cannot provide international customers the ability to purchase products abroad then travel to the UK top collect their purchase. Since 2021 VAT refunds for international customers buying personal goods in British shops have been removed meaning any international orders must be directly exported to the customers final address to qualify as VAT-Free. Upon your purchase entering your country of residence, import charges may then be applicable in line with your countries import laws. This also means any international customers visiting James Newman Jewellery in the UK and purchasing products from our store will be subject to UK-VAT, however we can arrange to have your purchases shipped directly to your country of residence meaning UK-VAT would not be applicable.

If you have any questions about VAT or international delivery, please get in touch.
