Disclaimers
1. Disclaimer
Dream Design Jewellery provides its website and services on an "as is" basis.
While we aim to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information on our website, we do not guarantee that:
- the website will be uninterrupted or error-free
- the content will always be accurate or current
- the website will be free from viruses or harmful components.
Use of the website is at your own risk.
2. Jewellery Care and Normal Wear Disclaimer
Jewellery is a delicate product that may experience normal wear and tear over time depending on how it is worn, stored, and maintained.
Normal wear and tear may include, but is not limited to:
- scratches or surface marks on metal
- gradual thinning of metal over time
- bending or misshaping caused by pressure or impact
- wear of prongs that hold gemstones
- tarnishing due to exposure to chemicals or moisture
These types of changes are considered normal wear and tear and do not constitute a manufacturing fault.
Customers are responsible for properly caring for their jewellery. Dream Design Jewellery recommends:
- remove jewellery before exercising, swimming, showering, going to bed, or engaging in heavy physical activities
- avoiding contact with chemicals such as soap, perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, and chlorine
- storing jewellery separately to prevent scratching
- having jewellery inspected periodically by a professional jeweller
Damage caused by misuse, accidental damage, neglect, or improper care is not covered under manufacturing fault claims.
3. Natural Gemstone and Stone Variation Disclaimer
Many gemstones used in jewellery are natural stones, which means that each stone is unique.
Natural gemstones may display variations in:
- colour
- tone
- inclusions
- internal characteristics
- patterning
- natural markings
These variations are natural characteristics of genuine gemstones and are not considered defects.
Product photographs are provided as a guide only. The gemstone received may vary slightly from images shown on the website or in-store displays.
Such natural variations do not qualify for refunds, exchanges, or returns unless the product fails to meet consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law.
4. Gold Plating and Surface Finish Disclaimer
Some jewellery sold by Dream Design Jewellery may feature gold plating, rhodium plating, or other surface finishes.
Plated jewellery is created by applying a thin layer of metal over a base metal or alloy. Over time, and depending on usage, plated finishes may:
- gradually fade
- wear away
- change in appearance
The lifespan of plating varies depending on:
- frequency of wear
- exposure to chemicals
- body chemistry
- environmental conditions
This gradual wear is normal and expected for plated jewellery and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Customers may have jewellery replated by a jeweller if desired, which may involve an additional service fee.
5. Production Time for Made-to-Order Jewellery
Some items offered by Dream Design Jewellery may be made-to-order, custom-made, or specially produced after an order has been placed.
Production timeframes may vary depending on:
- the complexity of the design
- material availability
- workshop schedules
- customisation requirements
Estimated production timeframes will be provided where possible; however, these are estimates only.
Dream Design Jewellery will make reasonable efforts to complete orders within the estimated timeframe but will not be liable for delays caused by:
- supplier delays

- circumstances outside our reasonable control
Orders for custom or made-to-order jewellery cannot be cancelled once production has commenced, except where required by law.
6. Limitation of Liability
