Bespoke Engagement & Wedding Rings

All engagement rings and wedding bands are dispatched with a courier and are required to have a signature upon delivery. You, or the person you nominate, will be responsible for signing for the receipt of your package. All bespoke pieces are fully insured while in transit. Once the package is signed for it is no longer considered in transit and is therefore no longer insured.

Please note that due to the nature of these engagement rings and wedding rings, they are of high value. International orders will need to expect tax and import duties when the piece arrives in your country. 

Kate & Kole does not cover any additional taxes or duties applied by customs at the destination country and is the responsibility of the delivery recipient.

Please note in accordance with Australian export regulations we are required to declare the exact value of all items and identify the order as dutiable “merchandise” and are prohibited by law from identifying an order as a “gift” for export purposes.
