Order Confirmation

You will received a confirmation email detailing your purchase details once your payment has been accepted.

Sold and Out of Stock Items

Items that you are able to purchase now and have shipped to you within 2-14 days, depending on your location, are displayed on our Available Now page. However, we may continue to display pieces that have already been sold or that are out of stock in our collection and individual piece pages. We have done this so that our customers are still able to view pieces that they might like to specifically order as part of their individual collections or in comparison to other similar items, and also as potential inspiration should they like to order a custom Kian Design piece.

Orders Not Fulfilled

We always endeavour to accurately display item availability on our store. If however you have selected an item from our Available Now page and for some unforeseeable reason the piece is not in stock we will email you immediately. You will have the option to wait until the piece is placed into production specially for you, make a substitution, or cancel your order. Additionally, we reserve the right to not fulfill any other order type due to lack of availability of materials, specifically hard to source gemstones, at which time we will immediately notify you by email and refund any monies paid using the original payment method.

Cancelling an Order before it is Shipped

If you wish to cancel your order before the goods have been shipped, please inform us as soon as possible so that we can stop the payment from your card.

Gift Vouchers

Kian Design gift vouchers can be purchased for amounts of $50, $100, $200, $500, $1000 and $5000. If you require a gift voucher for a different amount please contact us. Once purchased we can either post your voucher to you, or if it is a gift we can send it directly via post or email to your gift recipient also. Gift vouchers must be redeemed within one year from the date of purchase. Kian Design gift vouchers can be used as full or part payment for any purchase and do not have to be used in full at any one time. Gift vouchers cannot be returned or exchanged for cash. If a product is returned to us that has been purchased using a gift voucher, then the value will be refunded back onto that gift voucher. Please contact us if you have any further questions.

Custom Orders

Custom pieces are designed and made specially for you. Please appreciate that they are therefore not returnable or refundable, except in the event where the piece is deemed faulty. Once you are happy that we have achieved your design vision we will provide you with a cost estimate. A 20% deposit will be required prior to commencement of all commissioned pieces. As a general guide, please allow a time frame to completion of 4-8 weeks. This time can vary depending on availability of materials and workshop lead times. We will always endeavour to achieve any specific time requirement that you may have, and we will let you know immediately if we are not able to accommodate your request.

If you have ordered a piece(s) that needs to be put into production first or that is custom designed or handmade, then delivery can take from between 4-8 weeks depending on factors like the design consultation process, availability of chosen gemstones and current workshop orders.

Packaging

Your Kian Design purchase will be beautifully packaged in one of our premium gift boxes. Unless specifically requested, we do not include an additional invoice; this practice reduces paper waste and in the case of gift purchases ensures your recipient remains unaware of the price! Should you request delivery directly to your gift recipient, we are happy to add a personalized gift note.

Returns & Exchanges

Returns & Exchanges

Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction. We want you to absolutely love your purchase, so if for any reason you are not happy we accept returns or exchanges of any unworn and unaltered piece(s) in its original packaging within 14 days of the receipt date. To return or exchange an item, please contact us first for return instructions.

If we do not receive the returned item in its original condition unfortunately a refund or exchange will not be offered. Any damage incurred during return transit to Kian Design is the responsibility of the sender and any damaged items will not be refunded or exchanged. All exchanges are subject to availability.

For all exchanges, if the value of the new item exceeds the original purchase or gift value, you will be required to pay the difference. Should the value of the new item be lower than the original purchase or gift value, the difference will be credited to the credit or debit card originally used for the purchase.

If a refund is requested we will issue you with a full refund minus the original shipping cost (unless goods are faulty or not as ordered). For domestic returns this amount will be a flat fee of $20 AUD, and for international returns it will be a flat fee of $50 AUD. Kian Design is not liable for refund of any customs duties associated with receipt of the original purchase (unless goods are faulty or not as ordered). If goods are returned to us as a consequence of your refusal of payment of duties they will incur an additional administration and return fee. We will credit your original method of payment, or we can also hold a credit for you for a future purchase if you prefer. Please note this does not include any custom orders which are final sale because they will have been made especially for you as per your design specifications.

All returns must include a return address, phone number, copy of your original emailed receipt, and a brief note stating the reason for the return. For your protection, please insure the item for its full value and ship the item in a way that is trackable and where you can verify receipt (e.g. Australian Post registered or Express Post Platinum, Fed Ex). We are not responsible for the item(s) until it is received, or for any shipping charges associated with the return; such charges are non-refundable except in the case of faulty goods or where goods received are not as ordered, in these instances Kian Design will reimburse any reasonable documented shipping charges.

Refunds and exchanges are processed as soon as possible, which is generally within 48 hours of receipt and you will receive an email to notify you when this has completed. Please allow up to a maximum of 30 days for the refund to be processed and your card to be refunded.

We are happy to offer an exchange option to Kian Design gift recipients. Please contact us to discuss the details regarding the original purchase and how we can facilitate helping you find your preferred piece of jewellery within a reasonable extended time frame of 28 days.

For refund requests, please note that we can only refund the credit or debit card originally used for the purchase.

As with all exchanged or returned items, they must be received back by us in unworn and unaltered condition and in the original packaging.

Rings Size Guide

Most Kian Design rings can be made in any size requested

Kian Design
In determining your ring sizes please note the following:
  • A ring should fit your finger comfortably, fitted enough so that it will not fall off, but loose enough to slide over your knuckle
  • Your finger size can change throughout the day so it is best to measure at the end of the day when your fingers are at their largest
  • Your fingers will be at least half a size smaller if you measure when they are cold
  • Rings of the same size may have a slightly different fit depending on their design; specifically wide bands generally require a slightly larger size for most people
  • Full circle diamond bands are not able to be re-sized up or down so accuracy of fit is particularly important to know before ordering to avoid unnecessary returns
  • Sizing is also prohibited for some setting styles because the act of doing so would distort the setting
  • We highly recommend visiting your local jeweller as the most accurate way to find out your ring size

Please see below a table of the most common ring sizes.

The most commonly purchased women’s ring sizes tend to be sizes 5 to 7, with size 6 being the most popular.

Men’s rings typically range from size 8 to 14, with size 9 being the most commonly purchased.

If you require a custom ring order or further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us.
