We send all our parcels throughout Australia using an Express Courier Service. You can expect to receive your order within 1 – 5 business days depending on how far away from the metro area you live. Generally metro delivery only takes 1 – 2 days, while it can take longer in regional or remote areas. International shipping varies depending on your location, but we will inform you of expected delivery times whenever we can.

Can I track my order?

We use tracking on all Australian shipping as we know how important our customers’ purchases are. Once your order is dispatched you will receive an email containing your personal tracking number and direct link to the tracking website.

RETURNS AND EXCHANGES

Can I change my mind about a purchase?

Absolutely. We offer a 21 day return and refund policy so if your purchase doesn’t feel completely perfect, you can either exchange it for something that is, or return it for a full refund. Please note special orders are final sales and cannot be returned. You can read more about returns here.

Our dedicated team will assist you in resolving the issue promptly to ensure your complete satisfaction.

MADE TO ORDER PRODUCTS

What does ‘made to order’ mean?

Made to order means your piece is handcrafted especially for you. Once you place your order, we begin the process of creating your jewellery with meticulous care and attention to detail. 

How long will my order take to be made?

Production times vary depending on the design, but most made-to-order pieces take approximately 4–6 weeks. If you need your jewellery sooner, please contact us, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request. 

Can I customise a made-to-order piece?

Yes, we offer customisation options on many of our designs. If you’d like to personalise your jewellery, please reach out to us before placing your order to discuss the possibilities.

Please note: Customised pieces cannot be returned or refunded, as they are uniquely tailored to your specifications.

What if I need my order urgently?

If you require your piece by a specific date, please call or email us before ordering. We’ll do our best to prioritise your order and accommodate your timeframe. 

Will I receive updates on my order?

Yes, we’ll keep you informed throughout the process and notify you as soon as your piece is ready to ship. 

Is a deposit required for made-to-order jewellery?

Full payment is required at the time of ordering. However, we do offer an in-house layby option if you’d prefer to pay in instalments—contact us to discuss this further. 

Can I return or exchange a made-to-order piece? 

Yes, we accept returns and offer refunds on made-to-order jewellery. However, customised pieces (where design modifications or special requests have been made) are final sale and cannot be returned. If you have any concerns, please reach out, and we’ll be happy to assist. 

JEWELLERY CARE

Can you clean my jewellery?

Absolutely. We offer free lifetime cleaning and inspections on all of our items. Bring your jewellery to our Broome store, and our team will carefully assess its condition and ensure it remains in pristine shape, monitoring for any signs of natural wear over time.

What exactly is white gold?

White gold naturally still has a pure gold content (which is yellow) and is alloyed with white metals to create white gold. Some commercial-grade white golds appear more brown or even yellow. At Jewels of the Kimberley we use platinum and palladium to alloy our white gold for a beautiful light grey colour that complements diamonds and is harder and more durable than commercial white golds.

Is white gold plated?

Yes. All white gold is plated with a white metal called rhodium. The appearance of rhodium is like that of platinum and it leaves your white gold bright and white, accentuating both the size and sparkle of your diamond.

How often will I need to get my ring re-plated?

As an average, rhodium plating lasts between 8 and 12 months before showing signs of wearing away (signified by slight grey shading). The anniversary of your engagement, wedding or birthday is a great time to get your white gold pieces checked and rhodium plated to keep them looking beautiful. We offer the first rhodium plating free on any white gold item purchased from us.

Should I get my ring made in platinum or white gold?

This is a great question and one of the most frequently asked when creating engagement and wedding rings. 18 carat white gold is a very hard metal due to its alloys comprising of platinum and palladium and it looks stunning, but it does require rhodium plating on average once per year. Platinum, on the other hand, is our most popular metal for engagement rings and wedding rings. Platinum will never fade or change colour and lasts forever, making it the ultimate symbol of eternal love.

GIFTS AND GIFT VOUCHERS

Can I choose to have my order gift-wrapped?

We believe that even when you are buying something for yourself, it’s still very special. That’s why every order from Jewels of the Kimberley receives complimentary gift wrapping. Your item will arrive packed in a box with our special ‘touch of Broome’ to keep it safe.

Can I include a personal message for a gift?

Certainly! We have beautiful gift cards which we can write your message in, hand written for a personal touch. Simply type in your message during the checkout process and we’ll do the rest.

Can I give a gift voucher to let them choose their own?

We offer gift vouchers to any value, which can be redeemed in our online showroom or at our Broome studio. They arrive beautifully packaged and make an impressive gift. Ideal for someone who may be visiting Broome soon and wants a beautiful memento of their experience.

We also offer accumulative gifting, perfect for celebrating significant milestones. Family and friends can each contribute smaller gift cards, which we can combine into one large sum for the recipient. This way, all contributions are managed seamlessly, and we can issue a single, meaningful gift voucher to be presented when ready. Let us handle the details so you can focus on making the occasion unforgettable.

WARRANTIES

What is your warranty of jewellery items?

We are so confident that our jewellery is of the finest quality and workmanship, we offer a lifetime manufacture warranty on all our products. This warranty covers any manufacturing faults and defects. Understandably, this does not cover normal wear and tear of your jewellery. View more information on our warranties here.

What if a product is faulty?

We take great pride in our manufacturing process so we certainly hope that you never receive a faulty product from us. However if, on occasion, this does occur please contact us and we’ll find a solution.

VALUATIONS

How often should valuations be updated?

It is important to have your jewellery reassessed every two or three years to ensure the valuation is current. Prices can fluctuate and insurance companies may request up-to-date information. The revaluation also notes any wear and tear and ensures you are not paying excessive premiums if prices decrease.

Why do I need to have my jewellery valued?

A professional valuation is an important safeguard if your jewellery is lost, stolen or damaged for many reasons. It provides proof of ownership in the happy event that the jewellery is recovered. Insurance companies are unlikely to provide full compensation for an expensive piece of jewellery unless you can prove its true value. A valuation also gives you a comprehensive description of the item, which is invaluable if you decide to have the piece remade.

Should I have my jewellery photographed?

Photographing your jewellery is a further safeguard in the event of loss or damage. It is particularly useful for police trying to match recovered property.

Do you ever offer discounts?

Yes, although very rarely, we offer exclusive sales to our valued customers via our newsletter. You can subscribe to the newsletter to gain access to these special deals.
