Delivered sealed
Earrings and other pieces worn in a piercing are delivered sealed. Once the seal is broken they cannot be returned, because they cannot be resold safely. This is the only exception to the fourteen-day right, and it does not apply to necklaces, bracelets, rings or clasps.
Your right of withdrawal in full316L contains nickel in the alloy. Released nickel is measured, not assumed — our test report is linked. Some people with severe nickel allergy still react. Titanium is the alternative.
About this piece
316L is the steel used where corrosion resistance matters and it takes a mirror polish that stays bright without plating. Nothing on this piece is coated.
What we would tell you before you buy
316L contains nickel as part of the alloy. That is not the same as loose nickel on the surface, but it is not nothing either. Read the alloy note below before you buy.

Your rights on this order
You can report a fault for three years from delivery. For the first two years, if something is wrong, we have to show it wasn't faulty when you got it. Not the other way round.
You have fourteen days to change your mind, counted from the day after your parcel arrives. You do not have to give a reason. This piece is delivered sealed, and the seal is the one exception — see the notice above.
If we say no to your claim and you disagree, you can take it to Allmänna reklamationsnämnden (ARN). It is free for you, and we will follow their recommendation.
Not sure this is the right metal?
Metal Match asks three questions about what you have worn before. It does not ask about your health, and it cannot tell you what you react to.
