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.
Processing Time
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.

Customs & Import Fees
For international orders, customers are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, VAT or other fees that may be charged by the destination country. These charges are not included in our shipping prices and are determined by the relevant customs authorities.
Please also be aware that customs inspections and clearance procedures can occasionally cause delays. Unfortunately, these delays are outside of our control, and Tara and Gems cannot be held responsible for delays caused by customs or local postal services.
We always carefully package and dispatch your jewellery with the intention of ensuring it reaches you safely and promptly. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we take the time to prepare your order with care.
Reviews
Again..what do I say? Truly truly beautiful...I’m just engergising my new jade bracelet with a rose heart and rose beads to ensure it brings a lot of good luck 🍀 and protection! Tara once again is amazing to communicate with! She’s so precise and makes SURE you are satisfied with your requests before she goes a head and starts making the bracelets! I drove her crazy with a million questions and not ONCE did she get flustered! She replied every so politely..I was so impressed! Will definitely be returning BACK for more gorgeous gemstone bracelets! God bless! 🧿✨🙏🏻
Absolutely beautiful.
I love the fact that Tara's designs are different.
Some chains have accents (a few beads by the clasp), some pendants can be removed from the chain whereas others are attached on either side of the gem.
The earrings also come in a range of designs.
Tara can change the metal that it's made with and she's super speedy in terms of making the items and shipping them too.
Jolie collier, bien emballée et livraison rapide.
Seulement un peu déçue par l'aspect de la pierre qui peut laisser penser que le collier ne vaut pas son prix.
Attention au frais de douane qui peuvent s'appliquer ... En l'occurrence pour la France : 18€ ... ( en plus des frais de taxe et de livraisons qui sont déjà élevés)
A last minute decision turned into one of my favorite gemstone necklaces. Very charming and it really sets off my black peacock pearl Tara gifted me. I like to layer and it sets just above it. They enhance one another perfectly.
I know I keep saying this but the item is absolutely stunning!
I bought it as a birthday gift and wish I got one for myself too
Both the quality and craftsmanship of every single item I purchase is always amazing.
