Our Products 

All Beadspoke Tiara products are individually made to your requirements and because of this minor variations may occur.  Please be assured that we endeavour to keep these to a minimum, however we like to think that this makes no two creations the same and therefore your tiara is "unique" to you.

We use only the highest quality components, including Swarovksi crystals and pearls and quality silver plated and gold plated wires/bases.  If you require Sterling silver this may be possible for certain items subject to an additional charge and availability of components.

Bead colour charts are supplied to give an indication of the colours available although it must be remembered that one PC monitor may show a colour slightly differently to another.  We are pleased to offer a colour matching service if you would like to send a swatch of fabric.  Please contact us for further details.

Please also be aware that photography can often make an item appear larger or smaller than it is in real life.  For this reason we aim to give approximate measurements whereever possible, but if you are in any doubt about sizes then please do not hesitate to contact us for further details and we will be happy to assist.

Many of our items contain small parts which may be hazardous to young children if they are unsupervised.  We will accept no liability for any injury pertaining to the misuse of our products.

Your order may be placed online via our secure shopping cart.  Please ensure that you contact us via email with colour choices and/or details of any alterations or special requirements when placing your order.  It is helpful if you can also provide us with a contact telephone number in order that we can call or text you if we need to discuss your order with you and are unable to reach you by email.

Lead times can vary according to work load - we currently aim to complete your order within 2-3 weeks, but if you require your items urgently please contact us and every effort will be made to accommodate your request. Please order your accessories as early as possible.  We keep a supply of components in stock but may need to order in additional supplies for your order.  If we anticipate this leading to a longer delivery time we will contact you.  If you place an urgent order with us we reserve the right to make an additional charge if we have to order components and pay for priority shipping.

If you require a particular colour crystal or pearl and it is either unavailable or has been discontinued by the supplier or manufacturer we will contact you in the first instance to discuss possible alternatives or we will offer you a refund.

The photographic images shown may make our products appear larger than they actually are.  Please take this into consideration before placing your order and if you require any further information regarding sizing please do not hesitate to contact us.

Payment in full is required at the time of placing your order.

Occassionally we may have special offers available on some of our items.  These offers will be displayed on our ***Special Offers*** page and to qualify for these offers your order must be made from this page.  Items subject to current offers will be identified on other pages of the website where the normal price will be displayed. 

You may pay via debit/credit card using Paypal or alternatively by personal cheque made payable please to Erika Gilbert.  Please email us when placing your order if you wish to pay by cheque and we will provide you with further details.

We have also now introduced a budget plan allowing you to spread the cost of purchasing your accessories. when you spend £40.00 or more in one transaction (excluding P&P).  If you would like to take advantage of this plan please email us with details of your order (or request an order form if you wish to pay by cheque). We will send you a Paypal invoice and you will be required to pay a non-returnable deposit of 50% of the total cost of your order (including P&P), with the balance to be paid in six weeks' time. During this time your items will be made for you and we will send you a further Paypal invoice  requesting settlement of the outstanding balance and confirming the date by which payment must be received.  Once full payment has been received your items will be dispatched. Failure to settle the balance on request will result in your order being cancelled and the deposit will be deemed forfeited.  If you have any queries regarding the budget plan please do not hesitate to contact us.
