***** Our Five Point Pre-delivery QC Check *****

Our Quality Assurance to You

We always do our very best to describe items we have for sale as accurately as conditions allow. Sometimes weights, dimensions, and/or colours can vary slightly. These variations are usually extremely small and are natural and beyond our control.


We understand that sometimes photographs, and/or computer screens, do not do our products the true justice they rightly deserve. But that is the nature of shopping on the internet. We want you to rest assure that our beautiful items of jewellery are of the very best quality and colour, and will definitely look even more spectacular when worn.



All items are quality checked prior to dispatch following our extensive 5 point check (see below) and are new, unmarked and never previously worn (unless pre-owned).


When you go shopping anything you buy is covered by a law called The Sale of Goods Act 1979. This means that when you buy a product it should be:




  • as described

    • fit for purpose

      • of satisfactory quality



      As described



      This means that the item you buy should be the same as any description of it. A description could be what the seller has said to you about the item or something written in a brochure.



      Fit for purpose


      What you buy should be able to do the job that it was made for. Also, goods should be fit for any specific purpose you agreed with the seller at the time of sale.



      Satisfactory quality



      Goods that are of satisfactory quality are:




      • free from minor defects (problems)


      • of a good appearance and finish



      • strong and safe
        Here at Nuttalls of Chester:


        Our team of jewellers first confirm the latter and then add our own 5 Point Quality Assurance Check for your extra peace of mind.


        1. General Appearance and Quality - To the naked eye items must be void of obvious scratches/marks/defects etc, and show an overall excellent standard of workmanship. The item must adhere to the general description advertised including finger size required and any other bespoke additions such as engraving, diamond upgrades, etc.


        2. Hallmarking - All items must confirm to current British Hallmarking Standards where necessary http://www.nuttallsofchester.co.uk/jewellery-shop/info.php?action=viewInfo&info=Hallmarking  and should therefore have the applicable stamp. Please note: some items may also have our registered 'punch' mark.

        3. Stone quality - (if applicable) - Any stones present must be at least of the quality advertised and free from anything other than natural defects that are usually present in real and natural gemstones.


        4. Setting, Mounts and Fittings - (if applicable) - The setting must hold stones secure. Settings, mounts and fittings must be free of obvious faults and also secure where applicable. Please note: Due to the nature of handmade jewellery, some items may not always be as symmetrical in appearance as those that are machine made, but should still maintain an overall high quality standard.

        5. Shank - (if applicable) - the shank or band must be free from any obvious blemishes and/or scratches, and should show an overall uniform and suitable finish.

        Important: Only items that have been 'tagged' with our Quality Approved Security Labels have met our stringent 5 Point Quality Assurance Check.

        Our 5 Point Quality Check in no way affects your statutory rights.

Victorian Snake Jewellery

There are many styles of bangles, rings and other jewellery available to buy online today, but not many of them are steeped in as much tradition as the coiled snake.


Some people are attracted to the mythic archetypal style that represents time and eternity more often than not when the tail is being eaten by the head. This image is the Ouroboros, an ancient symbol showing a serpent eating its own tail. The symbol is believed to have been inspired by the Milky Way with ancient writings describing a serpent of light living amongst the heavens.
 
Although the images of Cleopatra, Greek and Roman Goddess's wearing Snake Bangles and Snake Chokers can be remembered from the Old 'epic' films, it was the Victorians who popularised the wearing of such Jewellery.

Sapphire Jewellery in White Gold


Sapphire translates from the ancient word for blue, but Sapphire Jewellery is to be found in many different colours and shades. Sapphires are often referred to the 'gem of the heavens' or 'celestial gem', and are thought to provide sincerity, truth and faith. They give peace, wisdom and joy. Only diamonds are harder on the Moh's scale, and therefore Sapphires and Diamonds provide an excellent partnership.

Sapphire is the gemstone for September, Zodiac stone of Taurus, and used to celebrate all 5th, 45th and 70th anniversaries.

Basic History of Body Jewellery

Body modification is certainly unique to humans and, in one form or another has been practiced for as long as 30000 years.


It is unclear whether the Australian aboriginal, or old tribes of India and Borneo, first began to use it as a way to decorate the body and display a personal fortune. The Greeks and Romans, the Middle and Far East, in fact, the majority of cultures throughout history up to now, all showed characteristics of body art, and perforation. Elizabethan sailors encountered tribes-people who pierce their ears, which they believe will help improve her vision, an attractive proposition to seafarers whose vision was so important. Sailors and explorers also report complex examples of Polynesian tattoos, then remembered by many descendants of sailors in their own skin.
 
 
 
Body piercing is a much more common and accepted way to decorate your body and provides a way to show the individuality of the person.
 
There is still some summer left - hopefully - so why not show off one of our Beautiful items of Body Jewellery...?

All our Gold Belly Bars, Gold Nose Studs and Gold Toe Rings, are offered for sale at well below genuine RRP's, and are covered by our 100% Guarantee.

Introduction


All our Peridot items of jewellery are purchased from our suppliers under the provision that they were sourced under ethical conditions.

Peridot is one of the prettiest of all green gems, occurring in a colour that is the epitome of grass green.

Interestingly enough, the name topaz may have initially been applied to Peridot, for it is found on the island of Topazos (Zabargad) in the Red Sea.The name Peridot is used to describe the gem variety of the forsterite to fayalite olivine series.

Specific Gravity: 3.34 + 0.17,–0.07


Refractive Index: 1.654–1.690 (±0.020)


Birefringence: 0.035 to 0.038


Optic Character: Biaxial (positive or negative; the beta index is usually near halfway between alpha and gamma)

Peridot - Birthstone for August

Peridot was called the 'gem of the sun' by the Ancient Egyptions and 'evening emerald' by the Romans who often mistaken it as such. Hawaiians thought it to be the Goddess Peles' tears. Pirates thought it had the power to drive away evil spirits, and powdered peridot has been used to cure asthma - No wonder it was Cleopatras' favourite gemstone!



 

August Birthstone poem - the Peridot

"Wear a Peridot or for thee,

No conjugal fidelity,

The August born without this stone,

`Tis said, must live unloved alone."

Sapphire - Birthstone for September

Sapphire translates from the ancient Greek word for blue, but they are to be found in many different colours. They are often referred to the 'gem of the heavens' or 'celestial gem', and are thought to offer faith, truth and sincerity. They bring joy, wisdom and peace. Sapphires are second in hardness to only diamonds, and therefore provide an excellent partnership.

A Sapphire Poem

The liquid shimmers, fresh and new

Crystallised blue

Reflecting light

A superb sight


Strong striking waves crash and roll

Out of control

Cerulean spray

Sapphire display


Such dazzling colours sparkling

So inspiring

So magical

So... beautiful
