Alchemy Gothic guarantee & repairs - In some cases, for minor repairs, we may be able to assist. Should any items need to be returned to the manufacturer in England under guarantee or for major repair, you will be responsible for the international delivery charges to return said goods. If the supplier finds the item to be defective, they will use their own discretion if they will repair, replace or not do anything.

In some cases, if small repairs are required, for example a link needs to be removed from a watch, not many local jewellers work with English Pewter. We can however recommend http://www.silverrestorationza.com/ based in Johannesburg.

Also, in the event that the product needs to be altered such as a link needs to be removed, we may be able to get this customised for you directly from the supplier. Please arrange this prior to placing your order, so that we can confirm if it is possible and to avoid having to do this after receiving the product.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us by e-mail – info@deviantsouth.co.za
