3. Personal use
You acknowledge that you will use the Site to purchase Products only for your own personal and non-commercial use, as a principal and not as an agent or on behalf of any other person.
4. Price
4.1 The prices for products quoted on our website include delivery costs but exclude all fees, taxes, duties, levies or similar government charges ( "duty unpaid and untaxed") .
4.2 All customs duties, fees, taxes, or other official charges and declarations for importing the products to the delivery address are your responsibility and will be borne by you; they are not included in the price of the products. For all deliveries, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which must be borne by the customer. In addition to shipping costs, these also include costs for customs duties or import sales tax. Since the goods are shipped from a non-EU/USA country (China), whether customs duties are payable for a product must be clarified with our customer service before ordering. Customs duties or import sales tax are not paid by us and are the responsibility of the buyer. Our goods are always shipped "duty unpaid and untaxed." The buyer is the "importer of record" and is responsible for the proper payment of customs duties and/or import taxes and must fully comply with all laws and regulations of the importing country. Since import regulations vary from country to country, please check your country's customs duties and import taxes before placing your order. It is the buyer's responsibility to fully verify compliance with all laws and regulations of the importing country upon receipt of the goods.
4.3 We will make every effort to ensure that all details, descriptions, and prices of the Products that appear on our Website are correct. However, there may be occasions where errors may occur. If we discover that a pricing error has occurred, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or canceling your order. If we are unable to contact you, or if we do not receive a response from you, the order will be treated as canceled and you will receive a full refund. If you choose to reconfirm your order, we will arrange for delivery of your
order and invoice or refund you the amounts specified in our notification to you shortly after we receive your reconfirmation of your order by the form and method of payment you used to place the order.
4.4 We are not obliged to fulfill an order if the price shown on the Website is incorrect (even after you have received an Order Confirmation).
4.5 Prices may change from time to time. However, such changes will not affect an order for which an order confirmation has been sent.
5. Place an order
5.1 After you have placed an order, all orders are subject to stock availability. If we have sufficient stock to fulfil your order, you will receive an Order Confirmation, which will serve as our confirmation of receipt of your order. In the event of any supply difficulties or unavailability of stock to fulfil your order, we will notify you by email and refund all payments made in respect of the order.
5.2 A Contract will only be formed when we have issued you an Order Confirmation and only in respect of the Product(s) included in the Order Confirmation. These Terms and Conditions form part of the Contract and are incorporated to the exclusion of all other terms.
5.3 If your order consists of more than one Product, the Products may be delivered to you in separate deliveries at separate times.
5.4 We reserve the right to remove any Products from the Website at any time. We also reserve the right to edit or remove any material or content from the Website. We will not be liable to you or any third party for the removal of any product from our website or the editing or removal of any materials or content from our website.
5.5 We reserve the right to refuse or reject any order you have
placed at any time (including after we have sent an order confirmation). We will not be liable to you or any third party for the cancellation or rejection of any order.
5.6 If we cancel your order after we have received payment (including after we have sent an order confirmation), you will receive a full refund of the payment for the order.
6. Payment
6.1 You can pay for the Products using one of the payment intermediaries listed on our Website.
6.2 You can also pay for all or part of your order using a promotional voucher provided by us. Promotional vouchers can only be entered online at checkout.
6.3 We may use payment intermediaries to process payments between you and us. You agree that we may share documents and information about you with the payment intermediaries, including documents and information containing your personal data.
6.4 We are not a regulated payment processor or money service provider and are not responsible for any payment failures or problems caused by the payment intermediaries.
6.5 You are responsible for providing full and accurate information in the payment process, and all payments must be made using your own funds. By placing an Order, you confirm that:
(a) the payment method used for payment belongs to you;
(b) if applicable, you are the rightful holder of the promotional voucher; and
(c) you have sufficient funds or credit facilities to pay for the order in question.
6.6 We will not be liable or responsible for any unauthorized use of your credit, debit, or prepaid cards by any third party, even if those cards have been reported stolen. We may notify any applicable authorities (including credit reference agencies) of any fraudulent payment or other unlawful activity.
6.7 You will not:
(a) make or attempt to make any chargebacks in respect of any payment you have made for Products; or
(b) reverse any payments you have made in respect of Products.
6.8 You will fully indemnify and hold us harmless in respect of any chargebacks or reversals of payments you have made, and in respect of any losses, costs, liabilities, or expenses we incur arising out of or in connection with such chargebacks or reversals.
7. Delivery
7.1 We will endeavour to deliver your order to the delivery address you provide when you place your order.
7.2 We will provide an estimated delivery date when you checkout for your order.
7.3 We may notify you if we are unlikely to meet the estimated delivery date, but we will not be liable to you for any losses, liabilities, costs, damages, charges or expenses arising from late delivery, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
7.4 We may not be able to deliver Products to certain locations. If this happens, we will notify you and arrange for the order to be cancelled and refunded, or delivered to an alternative delivery address confirmed by you.
7.5 All risk in the Product will pass to you upon delivery to the delivery address, unless delivery is delayed due to a breach of your
obligations under these Terms and Conditions. Risk will pass at the time delivery would have occurred but for your breach.
7.6 If you are unable to accept delivery or collection of your order, we may leave a card with instructions for redelivery or collection from the carrier.
7.7 If delivery or collection is delayed by your unreasonable refusal to accept delivery or your failure to collect your order from the carrier, we may charge you for all fees and other costs reasonably incurred by us in returning the order to the sender, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to us.
7.8 Goods will be dispatched within 2-20 days of confirmed payment. Standard delivery time is 7-12 working days, exceptionally up to 4 weeks, unless otherwise stated in the item description. The owner does not ship directly. Orders will be dispatched from the manufacturer once the entire order is in stock.
7.9 All customs duties, fees, taxes, or other official charges and declarations for importing the products to the delivery address are your responsibility and will be borne by you; they are not included in the price of the products. For all deliveries, additional costs may arise in individual cases for which the seller is not responsible and which must be borne by the customer. In addition to shipping costs, these also include costs for customs duties or import sales tax. Since the goods are shipped from a non-EU/USA country (China), whether customs duties are payable for a product must be clarified with our customer service before ordering. Customs duties or import sales tax are not paid by us and are the responsibility of the buyer. Our goods are always shipped "duty unpaid and untaxed." The buyer is the "importer of record" and is responsible for the proper payment of customs duties and/or import sales tax and must fully comply with all laws and regulations of the importing country. Since import regulations vary from country to country, please check your country's customs duties and import tax before placing your order. It is
the buyer's responsibility to fully verify compliance with all laws and regulations of the importing country upon receipt of the goods.
8. Cancellation or modification of orders
8.1 Once an order has been placed through our website, you may cancel or change your order by sending us an email.
8.2 Once an order has been packed, it cannot be canceled or changed; instead, the order must be returned to us in accordance with paragraph 10 below. As our goods are shipped from Asia, transit times may be longer than our control. If the goods are already on their way to you, cancellation is not possible. Please wait until you have received the goods and return them to us. Of course, you can still notify us of your cancellation in advance. To guarantee the fastest possible return, we ask that you send us a dispatch confirmation. An early refund is only possible 16 weeks after the order has been placed if the goods have not been received. 8.3 As we use a fully automated system, orders are processed immediately after dispatch. Therefore, we are unfortunately unable to interrupt the shipping process until delivery, so a refund before receipt of the goods is only possible up to 24 hours after ordering.
9. Defective products
9.1 You acknowledge that the Products are standard products and are not custom-made to meet your specific requirements.
9.2 All product descriptions, information, and materials set out on the Website are provided "as is" and without any express or implied warranties or other representations.
9.3 Images of the Products may differ slightly from the actual Product you receive.
9.4 If the Product you receive is faulty, you may email us informing us of the Product to be returned and enclosing a picture of the faulty
Product.
9.5 You may return the Product to us in accordance with paragraph 10.
9.6 We will inspect the Product upon receipt. Our processing time will depend on your order.
9.7 We will notify you by email if we are satisfied that the Product is faulty.
9.8 Our sole obligation to you in respect of defective Products will be to either (at our sole discretion):
(a) replace the Product and pay the delivery costs for delivery of the Products to the delivery address, for which you must return the defective Product to us and we will then deliver a replacement Product to the delivery address; or
(b) pay you an amount equal to the price of the Product and the return of the defective Product to us. We will pay this amount to you by payment into the account from which we received payment and using the same payment method.
9.9 If we determine that the Product is not defective, we may, at our sole discretion, decide not to refund you the purchase price for the Product and we may require you to pay any reasonable service charges and apply these to the method of payment used for the order. We will not be liable to you for any losses, liabilities, costs, damages, charges, or expenses arising from this paragraph to the fullest extent permitted by law.
10. Returns and Refunds
10.1 Our Returns Policy forms part of these Terms and Conditions, which govern your access to and use of our website.
10.2 If you are not entirely satisfied with your order, you may send
an email informing us of the product to be returned and return the product to us. The cooling-off period shall expire after 30 days from the day on which you, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you, takes possession of the last good. 10.3 Return postage and handling are to be borne by the customer. 10.4 The product must be received by us for the customer to be entitled to a refund. We will inspect the returned product upon arrival. 10.5 You must ensure that the product is returned to us in the same condition in which you received it and that it is properly packaged. The product must be unused, the product labels must not have been tampered with, and the product must be in its original packaging. If a product is returned to us in an unsuitable condition, we reserve the right to refuse return of the product. 10.6 Our processing time for returns depends on your order. 10.7 If we are satisfied with the condition of the returned product, we will send you an email authorising your return. A refund will be issued shortly to the payment method used for the order after we have sent you notification of the approval of your
return. 10.8 The cancellation is complete when we receive the physical goods. 10.9 As our goods are shipped from Asia, longer transit times may occur which are beyond our control. If the goods are already on their way to you, a cancellation is not possible. Please wait until you have received the goods and return them to us. Of course, you can still notify us of your cancellation in advance. To guarantee the fastest possible return, we ask you to send us a dispatch confirmation. An early refund is possible at the earliest 16 weeks after receipt of the order if the goods have not been received.

(e) the inability to access the Website or any part of it, or access being interrupted or partial at any time, or functioning with errors; and
(f) any failure or delay in the performance of any obligation by us, whether or not we give prior notice, if and to the extent that the
failure or delay is caused by any circumstance beyond our reasonable control, and which includes telecommunications failures, power failures, terrorism, fuel strikes, severe weather, computer failures, supplier delivery failures, industrial disputes, and the absence of staff due to sickness or injury, and the time for performance of any obligation the performance of which is affected in this way will be extended accordingly.
17.2 We will not be liable to you (whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise) for any loss of profits, business opportunity, goodwill, savings or benefits, or for any type of indirect, special, or consequential loss, even if that loss or damage was reasonably foreseeable or the relevant party knew of the possibility of that loss or damage occurring.
17.3 Our liability arising directly or indirectly from these Terms and Conditions (including your purchase of products from us under these Terms and Conditions) or which is not otherwise expressly excluded under these Terms and Conditions shall be limited to the greater of US$1,000 or a multiple of five times the price you paid for the products giving rise to the liability. The amount of this limitation of liability shall be reduced by the amount of any unpaid amounts you owe us.
17.4 Any claim by either party for breach of contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions must be brought within one year of the act or omission alleged to have caused the loss or expense.
17.5 Except to the extent that claims cannot be excluded or limited by law, no claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms and Conditions may be brought by you personally against any of our employees, officers, consultants, or other agents involved in the performance of the relevant obligations.
17.6 All representations or warranties, whether contractual or non- contractual, and all warranties, conditions, terms, undertakings, and
undertakings implied by statute, common law, custom, usage, course of dealing, or otherwise (including implied warranties of satisfactory quality, conformity to description, and reasonable fitness for purpose) are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
17.7 Only one claim may be made against us (including our employees, officers, or consultants) arising from any one act or omission.

17.10 If we are jointly and severally liable to you with another party, we will only be liable to you for that proportion which is reasonably attributable to our fault. We will not be liable to you for that proportion which is attributable to the fault of any other party for which that other party would otherwise be liable.
17.11 Any liability from us to you will be reduced by the proportion for which any other party would have been liable if either:
(a) you had also brought proceedings or made a claim against that other party; or
(b) we had brought proceedings or made a claim against that other
party under the Civil Liability (Contribution) Ordinance or any similar law in any other relevant jurisdiction.
17.12 In considering whether other parties may be liable to you, no account shall be taken of your being unable to pursue remedies against another party because claims against that party are time- barred, that party lacks sufficient funds, that party relies on exclusions or limitations of liability, or that other party no longer exists.
17.13 The exclusions and limitations of liability in these terms and conditions do not affect our liability:
(a) for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence;
(b) for fraud or reckless disregard of professional duties;
(c) for any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited in the jurisdiction to which a relevant claim is subject, including limitations on our right to limit our liability; and
(d) in any other case, to limit our liability to less than the minimum amount required in the circumstances by any other statute or regulation relevant to the claim; in which case, that minimum amount will be deemed a substitute for the amount that would otherwise apply.
17.14 These provisions constitute an exhaustive list of the remedies available to each party or any third party against either party arising out of or in connection with these Terms.
18. Compensation
18.1 You will, on demand, fully indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all claims, costs, and losses of every kind and nature which the Indemnified Parties suffer or may suffer arising out of or in connection with
(a) any material breach by you of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions;
(b) any fraud, negligence, misconduct, or reckless carelessness in relation to your obligations under these Terms and Conditions; and

A Life Devoted to Beauty – In the Small Things and the Grand
My name is Suzanne Lumière, and I grew up in a small coastal village in France called Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer. Surrounded by old stone walls, wildflowers, and the sound of the sea, my love for delicate things was born – especially jewelry. Even as a child, I would spend hours collecting shells, pearls, and sparkling stones, crafting them into little necklaces and rings. Deep down, I think I already knew it was more than just a hobby.
At sixteen, I began an apprenticeship with a goldsmith in a neighboring village. She was strict but kind – and she taught me that jewelry isn’t just something beautiful, but something meaningful. That it tells stories. And carries emotion.
In the 1980s, life brought me to Germany – for love. What started as an adventure became a home. And eventually, my own little dream: a studio in a charming old town, where I spent many years creating, designing, and meeting wonderful clients.
Later, my online shop was born – a passion project that allowed me to share my pieces far beyond the city limits. Each and every piece I made with devotion – handcrafted with care, a keen eye for detail, and the joy of connecting people with something beautiful.
But now, after all these years, the time has come to say goodbye. I'm retiring – with a smile and a tear.
My shop is currently in final sale.
This is the last chance to own one of my creations – before I put down my tools for good.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you – for your trust, enthusiasm, and appreciation over the years.
With warmth and a final sparkle,
Yours, Suzanne Lumière
