Shipping & Processing
At Tara and Gems, every piece of jewellery is carefully handmade to order, allowing us to give each item the time and attention it deserves. Because your jewellery is individually prepared for you, please allow a little time for us to create, quality-check and carefully package your order before it is dispatched.

Once your order has been placed, please allow 1–2 working days for processing and preparation. Processing times exclude weekends and UK bank holidays.
Although many orders are completed and dispatched within one working day, please allow up to two working days during busier periods. If your order requires personalisation or a bespoke alteration, additional processing time may occasionally be required. If this is the case, we will contact you with further information.
Once your order has been carefully prepared and dispatched, you will receive a confirmation with your shipping and tracking details where applicable.

Reviews
This is the 2nd time I ordered this from Tara. First of all her customer service is amazing. 2nd delivery time is also great. And finally it's such a beautiful pieces. If you are into crystals then you have to feel it and wear it. or if u just what to add this with your other pieces of jewellery it is also such a beautiful piece.
thanks for Tara making this beautiful piece x
I love this, the black and white colouring make it easy to match with my outfits, but the lovely stones are still interesting to look at. TaraAndGems orders are always shipped quickly but this one was extra fast, it arrived sooner than the Amazon order I'd placed earlier that same morning! And thank you very much Tara for the beautiful matching pendant!
I ordered a bespoke solid 14 gold version of the emerald and moonstone necklace that I loved so much. My necklace arrived in the post today and I couldn't be more thrilled with the quality and the beauty of the necklace. I look forward to wearing it every day without worrying about it tarnishing over time!
I’m so happy with both my purchases from this wonderful seller as ever! Came to buy a gift for my sister’s birthday and couldn’t resist not treating myself with this gorgeous bracelet. It is so appealing and glows beautifully. Thanks again! Xx
I now have 4 bracelets from this shop and I love them. I wear them everyday and I would definitely not hesitate to order again. Delivery was very quick and communication was spot on. Thank you so much xxx
