Returns Policy

Everything you need to know, from reporting a problem to sending something back. Open any section below for the details.

Something Is Wrong With Your Order

Faulty, Damaged, Missing or Incorrect Items

Every order comes with free Order Protection as standard. If anything arrives faulty, damaged, missing or incorrect, please file a claim within 30 days of receipt with your order number and a photo of the issue. We will arrange a replacement or refund quickly.

No restocking fee applies, and return postage is covered by us. Please contact us before sending anything back so we can arrange a prepaid return label where applicable.

Lost or Delayed Orders

Parcels can occasionally be delayed in transit. Before raising a claim, please allow:

  • UK orders: at least 7 days from the expected delivery date.
  • International orders: at least 14 days, as customs can cause delays.

Once that has passed, please file a claim with your order details. We will investigate with the carrier and arrange a replacement or refund.

You Have Changed Your Mind

What You Can Return

If an item is not suitable, you may return it for a refund within 30 days of receipt, provided:

  • Items are unused, in their original condition and in their original packaging.
  • All crystal packs, retail and wholesale, are unopened with the seal intact. Once opened, they cannot be returned.
  • Bundles are returned complete. They cannot be split or partially returned.

These items cannot be returned: earrings, ear-wires and ear posts, for hygiene reasons; bespoke, made-to-order and special production items; and sale or end-of-line items.

All change-of-mind returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee, which is deducted from your refund. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5 business days of your return arriving.

We do not offer exchanges. If you want a different item, return the original under this policy and place a new order.

How to Return Your Items
  • Enclose a completed Returns Form with your parcel.
  • Reseal retail and wholesale packs securely, so nothing is lost or mixed in transit. Returned items must reach us in their original condition and packaging.
  • Return postage is at your own cost. Please pay the correct postage, as underpaid parcels may be held by the carrier until the shortfall and any handling fees are settled.
  • We strongly recommend a tracked and insured service, so your return arrives safely and you are covered for loss or damage in transit.
  • Outside the UK: attach a completed CN22 Customs Form to the outside of the parcel with the 'Returned Goods' box ticked. Without it, import duties may be deducted from your refund.

Cancellations, Trade Orders and Your Rights

Cancelling an Order

To cancel, contact our Customer Service Team as soon as possible with your order number.

If your order includes items already requested from our manufacturers, a 20% administration fee applies. We will always tell you upfront if that is the case.

Distributor and Trade Orders

Trade and distributor orders are prepared specifically for your business and often involve extended lead times, bespoke quantities or items sourced directly from our manufacturers. They are therefore subject to the following terms, which differ from our standard Returns Policy:

  • Change-of-mind returns are accepted within 14 days of receipt, provided items are unopened, in their original sealed packaging and in fully resaleable condition. A 20% restocking fee applies, covering inspection and repackaging.
  • No returns after 14 days, or on items that have been opened, marked, relabelled or are otherwise not resaleable.
  • Bespoke, made-to-order and special production items are non-cancellable and non-returnable, including within the 14-day window, as they cannot be resold or restocked.
  • No returns without prior written authorisation. Please contact us before sending anything back so we can confirm the return and provide instructions.
  • Return shipping for change-of-mind returns is the distributor's responsibility. We recommend a tracked and insured service.
  • Faulty, damaged, missing or incorrect items remain fully covered. Report any issue within 30 days of receipt with your order number and photos, and we will put it right.
  • Cancellations may be possible if your order has not yet been requested from our manufacturers. Once production or fulfilment has begun, a 20% administration fee applies and some items may no longer be cancellable.

These terms apply to trade, wholesale and distributor accounts and do not affect the statutory rights of end consumers purchasing from our distributors.

Your Statutory Rights

Nothing in this Returns Policy affects your statutory rights under the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 or the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

If you have any questions about your rights, or think an issue may not be covered by our standard policy, please get in touch. We are always happy to help.

Genuine Brands, Fewer Problems

Every crystal we sell is genuine, sourced as an official Swarovski Authorised Distribution Partner and Preciosa Authorised Partner, alongside our own Serinity and Estella ranges. Quality stock, checked and packed with care, is why returns are the exception rather than the rule.

Genuine Swarovski crystals sourced direct from Wattens as an Authorised Distribution Partner, inspected and securely packed before dispatch. If anything arrives less than perfect, it is covered by free Order Protection.

Our own Serinity range, Austrian made and UK finished, is quality checked before every dispatch and covered by the same 30 day returns policy and free Order Protection as every brand we sell.

Crystals by Preciosa badge

Genuine Czech-made Preciosa crystals from an official Authorised Partner, so quality issues are rare. If your order is ever damaged or incorrect, report it within 30 days and we will put it right.

Estella Crystals logo on a white background

Every Estella crystals order is packed with the same care as our premium ranges, and covered by free Order Protection as standard, so any damaged, missing or incorrect items are quickly replaced or refunded.

Returns FAQs

Quick answers to the questions we are asked most about returns and refunds.

Is There a Fee for Returning an Item?

A 20% restocking fee applies to all change-of-mind returns and is deducted from your refund. There is no fee if an item arrives faulty, damaged, missing or incorrect, and in those cases we cover the return postage too. Change-of-mind return postage is at your own cost.

How Long Do Refunds Take to Process?

Refunds are processed within 5 business days of your return arriving back with us, and are issued to your original payment method. Depending on your bank or card provider, funds typically appear within a further 3 to 5 business days.

Can I Return Opened Packs of Crystals?

Opened packs of crystals cannot be returned for a change-of-mind refund. All crystal packs, retail and wholesale, must be unopened with the seal intact. If your crystals arrived damaged or faulty, that is different, report it within 30 days and we will put it right at no cost to you.

Do I Need to Contact You Before Returning Something?

For change-of-mind returns, no, simply enclose a completed Returns Form and organise your own tracked, insured return shipping. For faulty, damaged, missing or incorrect items, contact us first so we can cover the postage. Trade and distributor accounts must obtain written authorisation before returning anything.

Can I Return Sale Items?

Sale and end-of-line items are non-returnable for change of mind, along with bespoke, made-to-order and special production items, and earrings, ear-wires or ear posts. If a sale item arrives faulty or damaged, it is still fully covered, so report it within 30 days and we will arrange a replacement or refund.

How Do I Return an Item From Outside the UK?

International returns must have a completed CN22 customs form attached to the outside of the parcel, with the 'Returned Goods' box ticked. This is essential. Without it, your parcel may be charged import duty on arrival, and that cost will be deducted from your refund.

What Happens if My Return Goes Missing in the Post?

Returned items are your responsibility until they reach us, which is why we strongly recommend a tracked and insured shipping service. If a tracked return goes missing in transit, you can claim against the carrier or your postage insurance.

Can I Cancel an Order After It Has Been Dispatched?

Once an order has been dispatched it cannot be cancelled, but you can return it under our 30 day change-of-mind policy once it arrives, subject to the return conditions and the 20% restocking fee. To cancel before dispatch, contact us with your order number as soon as possible.
