Buying from me

AlchemyUk is a small friendly team lead by Alex. Our design philosophy is, jewellery is to be enjoyed not only in the wearing but also in its construction. Thats why we try to have as much fun as possible whilst designing and creating our jewellery.
There is always music (usually Motown), someone singing and plenty of tea and coffee flowing.

Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee an item for normal wear over long periods of time.

If you order a custom piece of jewellery and find that you don’t like how it looks or are allergic to the metal, we unfortunately can’t provide a return/refund, as this is not due to our workmanship.
