Refund/Return Policy
Returns: We accept returns of unworn jewelry within 14 business days after you receive your jewelry for store credit. Shipping and handling charges are nonrefundable. If 14 days have gone by since you received your item, we unfortunately can’t offer you a refund or exchange. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging. To complete your return, we require a receipt or proof of purchase. We are unable to process a return/exchange until we receive the original item purchased.
Exchanges: We only exchange items if they are defective or damaged. For an exchange, the customer is responsible for the return shipping fee, as well as any insurance charges associated with shipping. If you are shipping an item over $75, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your return item.
If you have returned an item, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your item. Once we have inspected your item, we will notify you of the approval or rejection of your returned item for credit/exchange. If you are approved, your returned item will be processed in the form of a credit code that may be used as an exchange for another bk&leo item of equal or lesser value, but you will not receive a refund to your bank account. The credit must be used in 6 months.
Sale Items
