OUR MOST FREQUENTLY
All OERUM Jewellery pieces are hand made to order. This means that each piece is made especially for you and we ask that you allow 6 weeks for the turnaround. If you need a piece before a specific date, please contact us before ordering to ensure this will be possible and avoid any disappointment. Every effort will be made to have your piece to you as quickly as possible. Please note that turnaround times are an approximate guide and are subject to change or delay. Once it is ready to ship out, you will receive an email notification with all of your tracking and shipping info!
Please reach out to us at greetings@oerumdesign.com as soon as possible for assistance.
Not at the moment, but maybe in the future. We don’t always have examples of every style but if you are in the Netherlands and would like to look at a particular piece, e-mail us to request an appointment, and we can advise availability and what we have on hand.
At the moment, we are not able to accommodate any custom orders. However as a design driven company we are continuously exploring new ideas and producing new sample pieces so if there is an item that you would like to see in our collection, please email greetings@oerumdesign.com – we would love to hear your feedback!
This is something we would love to do in the future, but currently do not have the capacity for. If you would like to be kept informed about when this service will become available, please sign up to our newsletter here.
We are partnered with DHL so your packages arrive as quickly and safely as possible. We ship out of our office in the Netherlands and depending on the delivery location, shipping can take between 4-6 working days. You can always track your order through your account or the shipping confirmation e-mail sent after your order is sent out. If you need help finding your tracking number or have further questions about shipping, please e-mail us at greetings@oerumdesign.com
Yes, we do! The price for international shipping is calculated at checkout and varies based on your country. We partnered with DHL to provide the best rates and transit times possible both of which will vary depending on the receiving country.
Please note that once your order arrives in the country of destination, local guidelines apply and your order may be subject to country taxes and local duties. These taxes and duties are not included in your purchase price and as the recipient, you are liable for all import duties, customs and local sales taxes levied by the country. Payment of these is necessary to release your order from customs on arrival.
If your package is lost in transit, please email us right away at greetings@oerumdesign.com and we will try our best to solve the issue. All of our shipping methods are fully insured so your pieces are covered whilst in transit. You will be responsible for signing for the receipt of your package. Once the piece is signed for, it is no longer considered in transit and is therefore no longer insured nor is it the responsibility of OERUM.
For International orders, please contact your local DHL office for information on how to file a claim as we are unable to replace lost packages from international orders. Please note that OERUM is not responsible for lost or stolen items once declared ‘Delivered’ by the delivery service.
We currently do not offer refunds or exchanges as all items are made-to-order, especially for you. This is to avoid making any items unnecessarily or in excess to reduce our environmental footprint.
We include a six month warranty and would be happy to repair any damages within this period. For help with this, please send over a photo of the repair and order number to greetings@oerumdesign.com to get started on the repair process. Our warranty does not cover general wear & tear or lost stones. Please note that OERUM is not responsible for lost or stolen items once declared ‘Delivered’ by the delivery service. We are also unable to return any items once they have been altered by a third party jeweller.
You may return an internationally shipped order for a refund. Please note that the customer is responsible for paying for shipping back to us. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate international exchanges, but items can be returned for a refund in which you can use towards another purchase, if you choose to. Feel free to reach out to greetings@oerumdesign.com to get set up with the return process. Upon return shipment, we highly recommend posting it using track & trace as OERUM cannot be held responsible if items are lost during transit. The refund will in this case also not be possible.
Sustainability is the golden thread in all that we do; from our designs and packaging, down to our production methods and overall operations. All our jewellery is ethically made using recycled 14k solid gold. We are also partnered with ‘Trees for All’, meaning that for every EUR 250 spent in our store, we plant a tree to give back to our community and reduce our environmental footprint.
All our jewellery is made from recycled 14k solid gold.
All our jewellery is made locally in Haarlem.
The carat grading of gold refers to the percentage of pure gold in the alloy. The purest form of gold is 24k, which is too soft and malleable to use for jewellery. Because of this, alloys are mixed in to give the material strength, structure and durability. 14k gold contains 58.3% pure gold and 18k gold contains 75% pure gold. When gold constitutes 37.5% or more of the total mixture, the resulting material is referred to as “solid gold”.
We do not currently use diamonds in our jewellery however, OERUM is committed to using responsibly sourced materials and providing complete transparency to our customers, to which the origin of our diamonds is a very important part of that commitment.
Our jewellery is designed to last for many years to come but all precious jewellery will naturally tarnish over time. Always protect your jewellery from knocks, scratches, chemicals, sunlight and heat/cold to minimize these effects. Make sure to clean your golden jewellery every now and then using a jewellery polish cloth or make a solution with warm water and mild dish washing soap. Soak your gold jewellery for about 20 to 40 minutes and then gently brush with a soft toothbrush. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this yourself, take your jewellery to a local jeweler for assistance.
