Different Vesper products carry different warranties. Jewellery is covered by our lifetime structural warranty (below). Sunglasses and fit-overs (eyewear) are covered by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects — see the Eyewear section.

Vesper Collective stands behind every piece we make. Our jewellery is built from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel and finished with PVD plating designed for daily wear. This page sets out exactly what's covered, what's not, and how to make a claim if something goes wrong.

What's Covered — Lifetime Structural Warranty

The 316L stainless steel core of every Vesper piece is covered by a lifetime structural warranty against:

• Spontaneous breakage of chains, links, or clasps under normal wear
• Manufacturing defects in the steel structure (faulty soldering, defective clasp mechanism, weak link)
• Loss of structural integrity not caused by misuse

"Lifetime" means the lifetime of the original purchaser, with valid proof of purchase from Vesper Collective.

What's Covered — PVD Plating (12 Months)

The PVD gold or silver plating finish is covered for 12 months from purchase date against:

• Premature peeling of the plating in normal wear conditions
• Manufacturing defects in the plating layer

Normal gradual fade of the PVD finish over years of daily wear is considered fair wear and tear and is not covered.

What's NOT Covered

The warranty does not cover damage caused by:

• Accidental damage (drops, crushing, snagging, loss)
• Modification or repair by third parties
• Abnormal use including contact sports, prolonged exposure to concentrated chlorine, bleach, or harsh chemical cleaning products
• Direct contact with strong perfumes, aftershaves, or hair products sprayed onto the piece
• Loss of decorative stones where applicable, if caused by impact or misuse
• Surface scratches caused by contact with other jewellery or hard surfaces
• Natural colour variation due to environmental oxidation over time
• Damage caused by storage outside the cloth pouch provided

Earrings — Important Exception

Earrings are not included in our lifetime warranty. Due to the nature of plated jewellery, the finish on earrings may naturally show signs of wear over time depending on use and care.

To help preserve the finish, we recommend avoiding contact with water, perfume, sweat, chemicals and cleaning products.

If your earrings arrive faulty or damaged, please contact us on arrival at support@vesper-collective.com and we will arrange a replacement.

Please note: for hygiene reasons, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges on earrings unless the item arrives faulty or damaged.

Eyewear – Sunglasses & Fit-Overs (12 Months)

Every pair of Vesper sunglasses and fit-overs is covered for 12 months from the purchase date against manufacturing defects, including:

• Faulty hinges, frame joints or arms under normal wear
• Lens defects such as delamination or coating flaws present from manufacture
• Faults in the polarised or UV protection where stated on the product page

The 12-month eyewear warranty does not cover accidental damage (drops, sitting on them, crushing), scratched lenses from normal use or improper cleaning, loss, or normal wear and tear. Eyewear is not covered by the lifetime structural warranty — that applies to jewellery only.

Fit-overs are worn over your own prescription glasses; they do not contain prescription lenses.
