The ticketed price does not imply that the item has been sold at this price; it is Shiels regular ticketed price for the item when it is not on sale prior to any negotiated discounts. Few or no sales may have occurred at the ticketed price prior to promotion. All sale prices apply while stocks last or until current campaign finishes and is not valid with any other offer. Some items may be temporarily unavailable due to circumstances beyond our control. Not all stock is available at all stores. Prices correct at time of publishing in catalogue and online, we reserve the right to change prices without prior knowledge notice due to exchange rate fluctuations. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. RRP (Recommended Retail Price) is a price suggested by the manufacturer of the product. Standard ring sizes are available in sizes M and Q. Any other size will be resized from these at an additional cost unless stated otherwise.

We do not negotiate prices on our products and all our prices are final. We make every attempt to ensure that our online catalogue is as accurate and complete as possible. In the rare or unlikely event of a pricing error in the price displayed online, the company can cancel orders and refund customers' payment, using the same method as original payment because of the pricing errors (or for any reason). In order to give you the opportunity to view our products in great detail, some products may appear larger or smaller than their actual size in our photographs colour and size often vary slightly. Shiels states that carat total weight in all purchases may vary 0.05 carats from stated weight. We use the most accurate scales available for gemstone and pearl measurements, a tolerance of 0.25mm is allowed. For diamond jewellery set with multiple diamonds, we provide the minimum total carat weight for the piece. Colour and clarity grades are expressed as either a minimum or an average depending on the number of diamonds. If stated as a minimum, all diamonds within the piece are at or above the stated quality. If expressed as an average, collectively the quality is equal to or exceeds the grade stated in most cases.  

All pendants are shown on display chains which are not included in the price unless stated.

Our online offers can differ from those in-store both in terms of the products being different as well as pricing on the same products being different on occasion. We will offer some items for sale solely online and alternatively some items will only be offered in store.

Warranty Statement - 12 Month Guarantee

All jewellery comes with an exclusive 12-month guarantee on quality and workmanship. If you are not completely satisfied with the quality or workmanship of any item we will refund, exchange or repair your purchase at our discretion. Damage resulting from the unfair treatment of jewellery is not covered by this guarantee. Products altered, tempered or repaired by a third party other than Shiels voids this warranty.

Lifetime Diamond Guarantee

In addition to our 12-month guarantee, diamond jewellery comes with an exclusive lifetime guarantee from date of purchase. Micro, invisible and pave set jewellery is prone to having diamonds dislodged due to the nature of the fine setting with little gold separating the diamonds in order to maximise the brilliance of the piece. We, therefore, offer a lifetime guarantee with all of these pieces whereby we will replace any micro-set diamonds that may have become dislodged providing the jewellery had not been mistreated.

Shiels will provide a remedy to any major or minor faults assessed. This remedy is in the form of a repair, exchange or refund as per Australia Consumer Law (ACL). Please contact us via our contact us page if you have any issues. 

Diamond Guarantee

Our EGL, GIA, HRD and IGI certificates are recognized around the globe for their integrity, defining industry standards in evaluation and appraisal. Nevertheless, even these institutions vary sometimes when grading the same diamond because The best grading available to date has not yet been proven to be an exact science. These diamond grading laboratories maintain a worldwide presence in the major diamond trading centres, cooperates with leading organizations including the World Federation of Diamond Bourses and run extensive educational programs as part of their dedication to standardize all grading’s and raising the level of professionalism in the field. We therefore refuse to be drawn into having to defend any certificates that we supply with any of our diamond jewellery should they be at odds with a local jeweller or any other grading laboratory. We will however be happy to defend the fact that all our diamond jewellery represents excellent value for money
