FAQ

Questions & Answers

• Where can I buy Courts & Hackett rings?
  Our rings can be purchased directly from Courts & Hackett through the Shop page on this website.
• Are your rings made of solid silver? What is the blackened finish?
  Our rings are crafted in solid 925 sterling silver with a British hallmark. The dark finish is the result of oxidising — a traditional technique that enhances the sculptural detail and gives the ring its distinctive character.
• Does the silver tarnish? How should I clean it?
  Any unwanted tarnishing can be brightened with an ordinary silver polishing cloth. We do not offer a re-oxidising or re-finishing service.
• Is the Keith Richards Skull Ring available in polished silver or gold?
  The ring is not available in bright polished silver — the oxidised dark finish is integral to the design, enhancing depth and detail. It is also not available in gold or any other material. Sterling silver 925 is the only option.
• What is the best way to measure my ring size?
  We strongly recommend having your finger professionally measured by a jeweller, using the size references from our ring size chart. Fingers can swell or shrink with changes in temperature, so it is worth being measured more than once. Do not use printed sizing tools — ring sizing devices and charts vary significantly from country to country.
• Which ring sizes are available?
  We work to the following sizes:
  
  UK: K½ to Z+4  ·  Extra large sizes available up to Z+6
  US: 5⅜ to 14½  ·  Extra large sizes available up to 15½
  
  Please note: extra large sizes incur an additional charge. The Keith Richards Skull Ring is a large ring — sizing should allow for an extra-wide band.
• How big is the Keith Richards Skull Ring?
  The average face size is 23mm wide × 27mm high, tapering at the back of the band to 8–9mm. It is a substantial ring and sizing should account for the extra-wide band.
• Can I visit your workshop to be sized?
  Our workshop is not open to the public and we do not offer an in-person sizing service. We recommend visiting a professional jeweller for an accurate measurement.
• Do you produce rings in smaller sizes for women?
  We do not produce dedicated women's sizes, however the smaller sizes in our range are worn by women.
• What are the markings on the inside of the ring?
  The markings are British Hallmarks — an internationally recognised standard confirming the origin, quality of material, and date of manufacture of the piece.
• Can my ring be engraved or set with stones?
  We do not customise our rings. A professional jeweller may be able to offer this service independently.
• How much does the ring cost? How do I pay?
  The price varies depending on the country of dispatch — shipping, insurance, import duties, and taxes are all included. Payment is by debit or credit card via PayPal. You do not need a PayPal account. Payment by phone is not available. Full pricing details are shown on the Shop page.
• Do you offer a trade discount?
  We are unable to offer trade discount. There is a small reduction in the shipping cost for the purchase of more than one ring dispatched to the same address. For enquiries, please contact us with your delivery address and required ring sizes — payment for multiple rings is by bank transfer.
• Which countries do you ship to?
  We ship to the countries listed in the country selection menu on the order page. If your country is not listed, please contact us directly.
• How long will delivery take?
  Each ring is made to order. Dispatch is normally within 30 days of payment. For deliveries outside the UK we use FedEx International Priority. Inside the UK we use Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed next day. A tracking number is sent to you when the ring is dispatched, and a signature is required on delivery. Please include your phone number when ordering in case of any delivery issues.
• Can my order be delivered to a different address?
  The delivery address must be in English text and match the credit/debit cardholder's registered address. Our couriers are unable to deliver to P.O. box addresses. All deliveries require a signature as proof of receipt.
• Can I cancel my order?
  Yes — you can cancel your order within 7 working days of the date it was placed. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to cancel.
• Can I return my ring or have it resized?
  Each ring is individually made to the size you specify and we cannot accept responsibility for incorrect ring sizes. We do not offer a resize service. If you believe you have received the wrong size from the one you ordered, please refer to our Terms & Conditions.
