Do you offer Next Day delivery?

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, we ship worldwide from our UK studio. Delivery typically takes 2-7 days on average, though it can range up to 3-10 days depending on the destination.

Who pays customs and import duties?

The recipient is responsible for any customs or import duties charged by their local authorities, except for orders shipped to the US and UAE, where these are already included in your order total.

Can I get same-day delivery in London?

Yes – London same-day drop-off is available for £15, or free on orders over £1,000.

What happens if I order after the Express cut-off?

Orders placed after 1:30pm Monday-Thursday, or on Friday-Sunday, will ship using standard delivery timelines instead of next-day Express.

Can I track my order?

Yes, all UK deliveries are tracked as standard and a tracking link is sent once your order dispatches.

Returns & warranty

What's your return policy?

You have 14 days from delivery to request a return. Email team@bloomtine.com with your order number and reason for return, and we'll issue a printed return label.

Do I get a full refund, including shipping?

Not quite – if your order qualified for free shipping, the cost of the outbound and return label is deducted from your refund. Refunds are processed within 3-5 working days of us receiving the item back.

What condition does my item need to be in to return it?

Unworn, with security tags intact and packaging in reusable condition. If the security tag has been removed, we can't process the refund.

Are all items returnable?

No – earrings, fragrance items on sale, and engraved or customised pieces are final sale and can't be returned.

What if my item arrives faulty or damaged?

Let us know within 24 hours of receiving it, with photo evidence, and we'll sort a replacement or refund.

What does the 12-month warranty cover?

Every handcrafted piece includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering faults from normal wear. After 12 months, or without proof of purchase, repairs are available for a small subsidised fee.

I received my jewellery as a gift – can I still claim warranty or return it?

Yes. If you have an order number we can help locate the original receipt. Without one, you can still use our paid repair service.

Is the warranty valid on Sample Sale items?

No, Sample Sale purchases are excluded from warranty cover, and general wear-and-tear is assessed at our discretion.

Jewellery care

Will my gold vermeil jewellery tarnish?

It shouldn't, with basic care – our vermeil carries a substantial 14k or 18k gold layer (depending on the piece) over sterling silver, which resists tarnish far better than lightly plated jewellery. Avoid water, perfume, and abrasive cloths to keep it at its best.

How do I clean my rhodium-plated silver jewellery?

Wash gently with mild soapy water, then dry immediately with a soft polishing cloth to prevent water-mineral residue. Never use chemical jewellery cleaners or cloths designed for uncoated silver, as these strip the rhodium layer.

How do I clean moissanite or lab diamond stones?

Soak the piece in warm soapy water for 2-3 minutes, then gently buff the stones to restore their sparkle.

Is Bloomtine jewellery hypoallergenic?

Our rhodium and gold vermeil pieces are designed to be safe for sensitive skin, though as with any jewellery, always discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Can I shower or swim while wearing my jewellery?

We don't recommend it – prolonged water exposure accelerates tarnish and can loosen stone settings over time, even on tarnish-resistant finishes.

How do I store my jewellery when I'm not wearing it?

Store pieces flat and separately (not tangled together) in a dry place, ideally in the pouch or box they arrived in, to avoid scratching and moisture exposure.

Sizing & fit

How do I know what size to order?

Check the sizing option listed on each product page – many pieces list a specific measurement (for example, a 16-18 inch adjustable chain), while adjustable or flexible designs are marked “Various Sizes” or “One Size.”

What does “Various Sizes” mean on a product page?

It means there's more than one size available – check the size dropdown below the price and choose the option that's right for you.

How do I put on an open-wing or cuff-style bangle?

Gently pry the two ends apart to slip it onto your wrist – the metal is designed to flex and spring back into a secure, seamless fit without a clasp.

Can I get a bangle or ring resized?

It depends on the design – some pieces can be resized and others can't, so it's best to check with our team before ordering if fit is a concern.

Gifting

Do you offer gift wrapping?

Yes – select your gift wrapping option at checkout before payment.

Can I include a personal message with my gift?

Yes – a gift message option is available when you add the product to your cart.

Can I return something that was bought for me as a gift?

Yes, using the order number if you have it – see the Returns & warranty section above for full details.

Do gift boxes come with a certificate of authenticity?

Yes – every piece is hallmarked and engraved with our brand credentials, which serves as its certificate of authenticity.

Glitter Bomb™ candles

What makes the Glitter Bomb™ candle different from a normal candle?

It's a “sparkle reveal” candle – within the first hour of burning, a hidden pool of iridescent sparkle emerges beneath the surface, on top of your chosen scent.

How long does a Glitter Bomb™ candle burn for?

Approximately 40-50 hours, or around 50 cosy nights, per candle.

What is the candle made from, and is it non-toxic?

It's made from natural soy wax, which burns cleaner and slower than paraffin with no toxins released – and it's cruelty-free, with no animal-derived ingredients.

Where are the candles made?

Poured by hand in small batches by our artisans in London.

How do I get the best burn and sparkle from my candle?

Burn for at least 2 hours on first light to let an even melt pool form, and gently swivel the vessel if the sparkle starts to subside. Always keep the flame at a safe distance from children and pets.

Why has my candle's packaging changed slightly from the photos?

Our packaging is continually evolving, so small variations from the product photography are normal and expected.

Payments & rewards

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major cards plus Shop Pay, Klarna, Clearpay, PayPal, and Apple Pay.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes – Shop Pay lets you split your order into 3 interest-free instalments at checkout, and Klarna, Clearpay, and PayPal are also accepted for flexible payment.

How do reward points work?

You earn points on every order, shown at checkout as “Earn X pts with this order.” Once you've created a rewards account (you're automatically enrolled if you've purchased with us before), you can redeem your points against the sale price at checkout, where your current points balance is displayed.

Is my payment information secure?

Yes – all payments are processed through Shopify's secure, PCI-compliant checkout; we never see or store your full card details.
