Medawar's Return, Layaway, and Special-Order Policies
Return Policy:
Medawar's offers exchanges or store credit for merchandise returned within 30 days of purchase.
Returned items must be unworn, unaltered, and in the same condition as received.
Items on special sale*, special orders, or that have been altered are excluded from returns.
Fine Swiss Timepieces are final sale and cannot be exchanged or returned.
Merchandise Warranty & Repair:
Medawar's guarantees against manufacturing defects in our jewelry.
We recommend biannual inspections of jewelry by our staff.
Repairs due to regular wear may incur charges.
All repairs are done in-house and come with a warranty ranging from six months to one year.
Layaways:
Layaways require a 20% deposit and are valid for 90 days.
Layaways are non-returnable but can be exchanged for items of equal or greater value unless altered.
Extensions on layaways beyond 90 days need managerial approval.
Unsettled layaways after 90 days will be canceled, and the item returned to stock. A gift card, minus a 20% restocking fee, may be issued upon request.
Special Orders:
Special orders require a 50% deposit.
They are non-refundable and non-exchangeable unless otherwise specified.
Additional shipping fees may apply and will be determined at the point of sale.
Custom Designs:
Custom designs require a 50% deposit and are non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
Customers must approve wax molds before casting.
Delivery typically takes four to six weeks.
If the process is halted post-wax mold, a fee of 25% of the estimated cost is charged, with the remaining balance provided as store credit.
