Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

 How do I measure my ring size?

The most accurate way to determine your ring size is to visit a local jeweller for a professional measurement. Some jewellers may charge a small fee, but it’s well worth it for precision.

If you can’t visit a jeweller, here are a few other options:

  1. Using an Existing Ring:

    • Take a ring that fits comfortably on your desired finger.
    • Measure the internal diameter (in millimetres) as precisely as possible. Common sizes include 16mm, 17mm, or 18mm. Let me know this measurement, and I can determine the corresponding UK size for you.

  2. Measuring Your Finger:

    • Use a strip of paper or a thin piece of card. Wrap it snugly around the base of your finger and mark where it overlaps.
    • Ensure the strip can slide comfortably over your knuckle.
    • Measure the length of the strip in millimetres (e.g., 56mm or 62mm). Provide this measurement, and I can help identify your ring size.

  3. Using a Ring Sizing App:

    • Download a free ring sizing app on your smartphone, like Ring Sizer, which allows you to measure your size accurately using an existing ring.

    • Tips for Accurate Sizing:

      • Measure your finger at the end of the day when it’s warm, as fingers tend to be smaller in the morning or when cold.
      • Repeat the measurement a few times to ensure consistency.
      • For wide rings (8mm or more), consider going half a size up for added comfort.

      Please note: Self-measuring may not be as precise as a jeweller's measurement. However, following these tips should help you find a fairly accurate size.

What happens if I measure my ring size wrong and need a resize?

Rings purchased from Booblinka Jewellery can be resized depending on the design and materials. However, it is your responsibility to ensure the correct ring size before placing your order.

If you’re unsure about your size, I recommend visiting a local jeweller for a professional measurement or using a ring sizing app like Ring Sizer. You’re also welcome to contact me before placing your order for guidance.

If your ring doesn’t fit:

  • I can resize most rings for a small fee, which depends on the metal and the number of sizes to be adjusted.
  • Some designs, such as those with intricate settings or fragile materials, may require the ring to be remade instead of resized.

Please get in touch if you need a resize, and I’ll be happy to help. Shipping costs will apply.

What happens if I change my mind after trying the piece on?

If you change your mind after trying on a piece, I’m happy to offer a refund or exchange for standard items, provided they are returned in their original condition.

Please note:

  • Custom-made or bespoke pieces are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged due to their personalised nature.
  • Earrings cannot be returned for hygiene reasons.

For full details, please refer to our Shipping & Returns Policy.

Can you create a piece like another designer’s work?

I’m happy to take inspiration or incorporate certain elements from a piece you love and transform them into a unique design with my own interpretation and craftsmanship.

However, I will not directly copy another designer’s work, as this would breach copyright and intellectual property laws. My goal is to create something special and truly yours, while respecting the integrity of other creators' work.

If you have an idea in mind, feel free to share it with me, and we can collaborate to design a piece that’s uniquely Booblinka Jewellery.

Can you describe the materials used in your jewellery?

I use high-quality materials, including sterling silver, various carats of gold, ethically sourced ocean diamonds, captivating blue topaz, and genuine sea glass collected from the Cornish coast. Each material is carefully selected for its beauty, durability, and ability to reflect the essence of the ocean in my designs.

Can I request a custom design?

Absolutely! I love working with clients to create personalised designs that capture their unique style and hold special meaning. Whether it’s a bespoke piece inspired by the ocean or something entirely unique, I’ll work with you every step of the way to bring your vision to life.

How do I care for my Booblinka Jewellery?

To keep your jewellery looking its best:

  • Polish gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to maintain its shine.
  • Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, perfumes, lotions, and hand sanitisers, as they can damage the materials.
  • Store properly in a dry, cool place, ideally in an airtight box or jewellery pouch, to prevent tarnishing or scratches.

What is your warranty policy?

At Booblinka Jewellery, I take great care in ensuring the originality of my designs and the quality of the materials used in every piece. My jewellery is crafted to last, whether it’s a statement piece for special occasions or an everyday treasure.

Caring for Your Jewellery:
I encourage you to treat your jewellery with love and care. Over time, items that are worn frequently may require maintenance, such as cleaning or minor surface repairs. Detailed care tips are included with each piece, and you’re always welcome to contact me for advice on how to care for or maintain a specific piece.

Wear and Tear:
Wear and tear is a natural part of any jewellery piece. Finishes like matte, oxidised, or high-polish will naturally fade over time, especially on rings. These can often be professionally restored to their original appearance for a small service fee.

If you have questions about the long-term care of your jewellery, or need a specific repair, I’m happy to help.
