To Request a Return or Exchange

Email hello@okensi.com with the subject line: OKENSI - Return or Exchange.

We will guide you through the next steps.

Damages or Issues

Please inspect your order upon delivery. If your item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact us immediately with photographs and details. We will assess carefully and arrange a repair, replacement, or refund where appropriate.

Refunds

Once your return is received and inspected, we will notify you of approval.

Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method within 10 business days. Processing times may vary depending on your bank or payment provider.

Sale items, gift cards, personalised pieces, and commissioned work are final sale.

Repairs

Sometimes, life happens.

A favourite necklace is worn every day. A bracelet is tugged a little too enthusiastically. A clasp meets water when it should not.

We understand.

OKENSI pieces are designed to be lived in, and part of living means they may, at times, need a little attention.

Our Repair Promise

  • Repairs relating to craftsmanship are complimentary within 6 months of purchase.
  • After 6 months, repairs are assessed on a case-by-case basis and may incur a fee starting from £35, depending on the work required and the availability of original materials.

Where possible, we always aim to restore your piece with the same care and intention with which it was first made.

How to Request a Repair

Email hello@okensi.com with:

  • Your order details.
  • A brief description of the issue.
  • Clear photographs of the piece.

We will review everything thoughtfully and guide you through the next steps.

Because these pieces are not just worn, they are kept, remembered, and returned to.

Storage

Your OKENSI piece is wearable art. Proper storage helps preserve its beauty.

  • Store each piece separately in its cotton pouch or in soft materials such as velvet or satin.
  • Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Leather should never be stored in plastic. It requires airflow to prevent moisture damage.
Our Care Philosophy

Your piece was made to be worn, not hidden away.

Colour is meant to move. Metal is meant to warm against the skin. Beads are meant to travel with you.

But like anything crafted with intention, it responds to care.

Treat your piece gently. Avoid unnecessary impact. Keep it dry when you can. Let it rest between wears.

Natural markings, soft patina, and subtle change over time are not flaws. They are part of the life of the piece.

OKENSI jewellery is not designed to be fragile. It is designed to be lived in.

With thoughtful care, it will stay with you - bold, grounded, and full of story - for years to come.

Final Note

When you choose an OKENSI piece, you are choosing more than adornment.

You are choosing craft shaped by heritage. Colour shaped by story. Form shaped by hand.

These pieces are made to be worn confidently, often, and with presence. And with thoughtful care, they will remain part of your life for years to come.

Objects carry energy. The more you live in them, the more they become yours.

Wear it boldly. Care for it gently. Let it gather story.
