Claims for defective items must be made within 30 days upon receipt of goods. Normal wear and accidental damage and or lose is not considered a defect. Sterling Silver is a soft metal. This means silver rings commonly become bent or misshapen. Even day-to-day wear can do this, since the heat of the hand is sufficient to soften the silver further. This is not considered a defect in quality. Our quality control is very strict. Items are not shipped tarnished unless the item description states that the item has an antique or patina finish. Items that tarnish during wear are not considered damaged or defective. 

Elastic Stretch Bracelets…We all love the convenience of elastic stretch bracelets - up until that inevitable moment when the elastic gives and the beads scatter across the floor in all directions. You can prolong the life of your elastic bracelets by making a few simple changes in how you wear them, how you select them and, of course, how you make your stretch bracelets.

 Whatever you do, don’t pull on one end of the bracelet to form a triangle and stretch it over your hand. It stresses the elastic and eventually, it will snap.  To keep your bracelet in tip top shape, roll the beads over your wrist, stretching the elastic as little as possible. Do not spread hand open to slide your bracelet on.

If you never take off your elastic jewelry, it is being exposed to chemicals that are breaking down the elastic over time.  The shampoo and soaps in the shower, hair sprays, perfume, body lotions, and sunscreen.  They all do their part to help breakdown and weaken the elastic over time, eventually causing it to snap. Take elastic bracelets off before applying lotions or sprays. Ideally, don't wear them in the pool or the ocean either.

Your Elastic Bracelet Got Caught on SomethingWell, this happens doesn’t it? This is not a result of defective product.The only suggestion to limit the occurrence is to wear your bracelets on your non-dominant hand.  For righties, wear them on the left and lefties, wear them on the right. You are much less likely to get your wrist caught on something with the hand that you use to do less things.

Incorrect Items.... In the rare occasion the wrong item is shipped please contact Lynbrook Irish Shop via email at [email protected] immediately upon reciept. A replacement item with return shipping label will be sent. All incorrect items shipped must be returned to Lynbrook Irish Shop in NEW condition or you will be invoiced for the item.

Causes of Tarnishing... If a person has a natural high acidity level in his/her skin, it is possible for his/her finger to "turn green" from silver or gold jewelry, or for silver jewelry to blacken especially when the weather is hot and humid. The green is actually caused by oxidation, and all silver will oxidize (it's also what gives silver a tarnished look). There are some costume jewelry items that cause the same effect. Most of them contain nickel. It's not poisonous in small quantities but it can provoke a reaction in people allergic to nickel.  This "green finger effect" and the tarnishing of silver may also be an allergic reaction to alloy elements in sterling silver or gold. In some cases, the alloys, used to make jewelry more durable, may react with your body chemistry, chemicals in the air and household chemicals such as soap, salt and sun tan lotion causing a harmless green or black discoloration on the skin, which can be easily removed with soap and water, silver cleaner  or with a polish cloth. For this reason, most retail silver jewelry and white gold jewelry is plated with rhodium, which serves as a defensive layer and prevents this reaction from happening to anyone with allergy. 

Lost Packages... All UPS tracking numbers are emailed automatically immediately upon shipping. Claims of lost packages or non receipt of package must be made within 2-3 weeks from date of shipping. All packages are shipped Insured and will be immediately replaced by us upon notification. Lynbrook Irish Shop is not liable and cannot issue a refund for stolen package claims.

Chains... We reserve the right to substitute pictured chain according to market availability with a comparable chain of equal or greater value.

  • Canadian Taxes.....These taxes are not included at time of purchase and are charged to Canadian residents upon delivery.....
  • Just about everything individuals import into Canada is subject to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) of six percent. The GST is calculated after customs duties have been applied.
  • You will also have to pay the applicable Canadian Provincial Sales Tax (PST) or Quebec Sales Tax (QST). The provincial retail sales tax rates vary from province to province, as do the goods and services to which the tax is applied and the way the tax is applied.
