Etch

Francesca offers a broad range of engravable products and engraving services. We use state of the art technology to laser engrave your chosen items with monograms, quotes, names, dates and illustrations.

Due to the level of customisation, Etch orders have a 2-3 day processing time. Please allow for extra time during promotional periods.

Your product may differ from the preview provided. Fine hairline scratches may be present after engraving due to processing. If wearing with other charms or items of jewellery, scratching may occur due to the nature of the material; this is not covered under manufacturing warranty.

Francesca is not responsible for editing submitted images for Illustrate pieces. Our team will engrave your piece as per your uploaded request. Font sizes are edited at our discretion for best fit on Etch pieces unless stated otherwise.

WARRANTY & TERMS OF PURCHASE

There are strictly no returns or exchanges on engraved items due to the level of customisation. Our team will do all they can to ensure your order is perfect, though we cannot guarantee order changes or edits can be made after purchase. Your order must be 100% correct prior to checkout, if you need assistance before placing your order please reach out to us via live chat or phone (Monday-Friday 9am-4pm).

Francesca does not accept the submission of profane language or imagery . Your order will be cancelled from our system if the engraving request goes against these guidelines. 

There is a 3 month manufacturing warranty on Francesca pieces; this covers only faults that may occur due to the manufacturing process. Please see our extended warranty & terms here* If your Etch piece is engraved outside of Francesca it automatically voids this warranty. Additionally, Etch charms and pendants worn on non-Francesca bases do not qualify for our offered warranty. 

*Extended Terms & Conditions can be found here

Etch Pendant
Our Etch Pendant is designed to flip around which means it may rotate in transit and whilst wearing. Sometimes your piece does just need to be flipped in order for the engraving to be facing the correct way. This may involve rotating the disk or the entire piece. Reach out to our Care team for any further assistance!

There are no returns or exchanges on soldered pieces due to their bespoke nature. Your piece will be soldered as per your creation through our App, orders cannot be changed once processed as advised on our website.Francesca's 3 month warranty applies.

Additional solder requests must be approved by our team prior to return. Soldering is complimentary, however you will be invoiced for your requested products and postage prior to us personalising your piece.

Francesca's Create Collection is available to shop through our 'Design with Charms' app or via the Create Your Story page here.

Product exclusions from the create range will specify in the description - we recommend reading the full description to ensure you are purchasing the correct piece.

We encourage you to leave a note at checkout of how you'd like your create pieces attached if they are purchased separately and not via the app.

Create Charms are designed to be worn across all of our create bases - our charms feature a unique 'keyring' design jump-ring that easily moves from our bracelets to our necklaces and vice versa. Francesca Hoop Charms do not include this jump-ring.

WARRANTY & TERMS OF PURCHASE

Francesca Charms are purpose designed for our own base products and must be added to create bases only to ensure warranty is valid. Attaching your Francesca Charm to a non-Create piece will void the warranty. Furthermore, Franc Create bases are purpose designed for our charms only, adding non-Francesca pieces to Francesca chains, hoops or bracelets will void the warranty of those pieces.

Attaching a charm to a non-Francesca piece will also void the warranty on all pieces applicable.

If no notes are left to specify charm placement, our team will attach to their discretion. Alternatively you can find the instructions on how to attach in our FAQ 'Attaching & Adjusting'. If at any stage you see a gap in the 'jumpring' fastening your charm to your piece, please contact us on Live Chat, or pop into a store to have this tightened.
