Jens Hansen Guarantees

Workmanship Guarantee

Jens Hansen offers a return-to-studio lifetime workmanship guarantee on all our jewellery. This means that if, in the unlikely event, a workmanship defect is ever discovered, we will repair or replace the item at no cost other than your shipping costs to us, if any.  A workmanship defect is any flaw stemming from how a piece was originally crafted—for instance, an improperly done setting or solder joint that fails over time.

However, the guarantee does not cover everyday wear and tear, accidental or consequential damage, or repairs performed by an unauthorized third party. Normal use and environmental effects—such as knocks, scratches, or worn-down metal, clasps, links, settings or claws—require regular maintenance or repair not included in the guarantee. If a piece was repaired or damaged by an outside provider, we may not be able to guarantee that repair or any subsequent impact on the item.

If you suspect a problem related to a workmanship defect, simply return your jewellery to our studio for assessment. Our expert jewellers will evaluate its condition, determine whether the issue stems from a manufacturing fault, and then proceed with any necessary repair or replacement. This process ensures that you are protected from hidden manufacturing issues while clarifying what sorts of damage fall outside the lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Satisfaction Guarantee

If for some reason you are not completely satisfied then we would gladly refund the price of your purchase – less our shipping and handling costs – as soon as you have safely returned the item to us. Notification of return needs to be completed within 14 days of receiving the goods.

Please note that under the Consumer Guarantees Act of New Zealand we are not legally required to give you a refund or replacement if you have just changed your mind, however, for online orders and clients purchasing sight unseen we offer the 14 day change of mind period above, provided goods are not customized and/or personalized. 

To guarantee safe return we would strongly recommend using an insured courier service such as DHL, Fedex etc.

Engraved, Special or Custom Orders are final and cannot be exchanged or returned except for sizing & minor modifications, which will be chargeable, if these are in fact possible for the item in question.

Returns Procedure

  1. Please contact us by email to explain the problem. If necessary we will then issue you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.
  2. The procedure is to the send the package back to us by some form of courier e.g. DHL. Please make sure the package is insured in case of any loss and please label the Customs declaration “Returned Faulty Merchandise” and enclose a copy of the original invoice you got from us if you still have it.
  3. Once we have safely received your package, then provided you have the RMA number we will then refund the cost of your purchase less our original shipping cost.
  4. We reserve the right to not accept a return and may require a restocking or repair fee if the item has been damaged or has been worked on by a 3rd party.
  5. Our guarantee and the Consumer Guarantees Act of New Zealand do require that we are given reasonable opportunity to replace, repair or  or remedy any products or services found to be faulty, and that we cannot be held liable for compensation if third party repair or replacement costs are incurred before giving us said opportunity and a reasonable timeframe to rectify any situation first.
