You are able to pay further amounts if you wish to reduce the final amount owing. We only forfeit the original 10% deposit and will repay any further amounts you pay off the balance.

Most second hand and vintage items represent better value for money than new, the vat, for example, is only a small part of the overall part, in fact only on our profit, new items carry it at 20%. Gold coins carry no vat at all. Our selection stands the test of value, check elsewhere online or in your local store.

We are a long established family jewellers and have been selling and valuing jewellery for many years, our business has been in Frome since 1899. Every piece of jewellery is checked. We are often asked why items are not hallmarked. Since 1973 they have to be, unless of course the ring is purchased from overseas. We will put assumed in some cases, but the items have been tested for purity. To hallmark items that are antique would spoil their authenticity and it is not a requirement. We can hallmark an item if asked, but this is not something we would advise. If you are unsure about this you should research online before purchase. Please note that our website will tell you if an item is hallmarked. Some items may be pre-owned or second hand. If this is the case some items may be after 1973 and should therefore be hallmarked. However some rings may not be even then. As a disclaimer, any item not hallmarked regardless of age can only be 'presumed' as gold/platinum etc, as we cannot say for sure without a hallmark as this may breach hallmark rules. However items are tested and if we say presumed we are accurate in this assumption. We take no responsibility as your reading of this paragraph is your acceptance of the conditions should you purchase an item.

Once your order is placed, you will receive a confirmation email letting you know that our fulfilment team has received your order. Once your order is fulfilled, you will receive an email notification with your tracking information. We also offer a free no quibble returns service.

We can arrange overseas delivery but please email us to discuss. contact@vintagetom.co.uk

We can easily alter almost every ring we stock, we have our own goldsmith. However, if there is a lot of gold to be added, there can be an extra charge which we would advise, but in many cases, there is not a charge. Many customers worry about having a ring re-sized. Actually, it is for a trained goldsmith almost the easiest job he will perform. Every ring when made is, in fact, a flat piece of gold, when made into the shank it is joined together and soldered. When heated gently a small line appears to show where the ring was joined, and this is then the place the goldsmith will add or take a piece of gold to re-size. We will never re-size unless we are 100% certain it will not affect the ring, that we will guarantee. However, if we size a ring and you decide that you do not like it and return it to us, we will deduct a charge for the sizing, this can be up to £40.00 for 18ct gold, £20 for nine-carat gold unless agreed in advance.

It is with great regret that we are no longer able to offer overseas delivery. Due to increased paperwork especially in the EU, customs charges, increased postal charges etc etc, it has become uneconomic in time and money to continue to send valuable parcels overseas and also the problem with items being returned and explanation to customs in the UK regarding this. If you can get a friend or colleague in the UK to act for you this would be one solution.

A lot of customers may be concerned about their details. We never share
any details with any 3rd party. Your details are held securely within
the Vintage Tom website and underwritten within the Shopify platform and
this is an industry gold standard operation. We have 1m£ worth of cyber
insurance cover. Our credit card system is operated by market leaders
Cardnet . Be assured that your security is paramount with Vintage Tom
