Pricing

All prices include VAT at the current rate.

Silver prices can vary greatly and will fluctuate according to the price of bullion and exchange rates. We reserve the right to change product pricing at our own discretion according to these price fluctuations. Current silver prices as of 2014, have almost tripled since 2009, due to the dramatic increase in manufacturing costs in the Far East.

MAD ABOUT HORSES endeavour to display all our items as clearly and as accurately as possible. However, colours and images may vary greatly, depending upon your own monitor and browser, therefore we can not guarantee that items will appear exactly as viewed on your monitor. All product items are described with width/length sizes as accurately as possible. PLEASE NOTE products are photographed individually and are not necessarily pictured to scale, or in size proportion to other products, please note the individual dimensions as listed.

OUR PRODUCTS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR RESALE BY THE CUSTOMER.

925 Stamp

All sterling silver items are stamped 925 (the best and finest) sterling silver.

Hallmarking

All items comply with the current hallmarking legislation, and are hallmarked if they meet the necessary weight of over 7.78 grams, most charms weigh under this so will not be hallmarked, they are mostly all stamped 925 sterling silver depending on the country of origin.

Cubic Zirconia

Please note that cubic zirconia is the finest crystal, and since it is a man-made gemstone no two colours are ever exactly the same, so colours may vary.

Product Descriptions

All products are described as accurately as possible.

Mad About Horses are not responsible for how you care, clean and look after jewellery once it has left us here, we do offer a few tips but take no responsibility for how you look after your jewellery, and please note that some of our jewellery maybe oxidised (with blackened areas of detail), and cleaning oxidised sterling silver the same way you would polish normal sterling silver will ruin the oxidisation and completely alter the appearance and style of the piece. Please note that silver polish/dip is designed to remove oxidisation and tarnish but over time if used too much, silver will lose it’s original lustre.
