Shipping costs and the re-issue of your replacement item will be paid by us and sent within 48hrs if the item is in stock. If the item is not in stock you may be issued a store credit, however we will communicate all options to you via email. Please contact us ASAP within this time frame to discuss.

If you have purchased a ring that does not fit properly, we are happy to exchange it. Please notify us within 48hrs of delivery of purchase with the exact sizing problem. It will be the responsibility of the customer to ensure they are purchasing the correct size ring as we will not be responsible for additional postage costs to have the order returned and re-shipped. If the order is returned, it must be in the exact same condition that it was supplied, this includes all packaging and internal components. Be aware that some of our rings are made in small batches and few sizes are available, please contact us at admin@bohostones.com to discuss options. Please see our ring sizing guide for further information. We do not offer refunds, so please decide wisely if what you’re purchasing is suitable. All returns and replacements are made at the discretion of Boho Stones.

This is really dependant on the type of damage to the product, but it’s best to contact us at admin@bohostones.com to see if it’s possible. However if the piece is faulty, we can offer a replacement. Any repairs that occur outside of the warranty period will incur a fee that will be in line with the type of repair. This will be communicated to you the customer before any transaction occurs.
All of our rings are shown in Australian and UK sizes. This is shown in a ‘letter’ format. Please refer to our sizing guide to get a better understanding of how sizing works and how you are able to determine yours. However, we always suggest getting sized by a local jeweller, as we cannot be responsible for determining your ring size.
Great question! Because like so many, I have extremely sensitive skin and have found that products I’ve purchased from cheaper jewellery franchises has caused infections, discolouration and soreness to my skin. Unfortunately, there is no ‘one size fits all’ with how the human body will react, and for this reason we cannot guarantee this will not happen for you. However, this is an EXTREMELY small chance that out materials will cause irritation to your skin. In most cases these irritations occur from failure to apply correct hygiene precautions and failure to care for your pieces correctly (please see our care guides). Due to the fact that there are many factors as to why this could have occurred and it being outside of our control, we cannot be held responsible if irritation occurs. There is no possible way that we can determine what caused the irritation.
Not at the moment no. Custom offerings may come a time in the future, but in this moment I really enjoy creating small batch collections that can be purchased by many of my amazing community.
Unfortunately not. As we are a sole trader small business we do not have a shop front, all items will be shipped by Australia Post.
The easiest way is to send us an email at admin@bohostones.com . We would then be able to give you an approximate time frame as to when or if it will be re-stocked. Please include in your email the style of the product and the size if that’s applicable. I’d love to make sure you don’t miss out so please don’t be shy!
We like to provide many pictures and angles with and without natural light so as to ensure you have the truest sense of what the products actually look like as well as their scale. It’s extremely hard to guarantee how someone views the product as there are so many variables such as your technology and its colour settings. However, if there is anything you would like to clarify or need further pictures, please email admin@bohostones.com and we will endeavour to assist.
Great question! Because like so many, I have extremely sensitive skin and have found that products I’ve purchased from cheaper jewellery franchises has caused infections, discolouration and soreness to my skin. The answer is absolutely not! All of our sterling silver and gold vermeil pieces are nickel free.
We are very conscious of the impact on our environment with excessive and unnecessary packaging. All of our orders come in a recyclable and compostable mailing box that is packed with recycled and recyclable paper that is made by us from shopping bags. Each item is packaged in a kraft box (that is also recyclable) all other items are material based. Included in the order is a polishing cloth specific to your metal and care instructions. If you have ordered multiple items, we do our best to package items accordingly so as not to facilitate excessive waste. We will always strive to ensure our packaging includes minimal to no plastics and is Eco friendly.
Care
I love that you’ve asked this question! For all of our hints and tips and further information, please see our care pages located in our menu.
Pearls are such delicate and beautiful pieces, it pays to really care for them. To ensure they are always looking shiny and fresh, avoid exposing your pearls to water, cosmetics, moisturises, sunscreens, perfumes, chemicals and cleaning agents. They also should not be exposed to silver polish (this includes silver polishing cloths, as it will dull pearls) or coloured products. After wearing give them a wipe clean with a soft jewellery cloth that has no polishing additives. To clean we recommend a mild soap and warm water mix and simply use your fingers to clean rather than a brush. Pat dry and leave until completely dry.
It is imperative that you maintain correct storage for your gorgeous pieces. Exposure to the atmosphere can tarnish your jewellery so try not to leave items lying next to your bathroom sink. Sunlight, heat, moisture and chemicals can tarnish items so ensure they are stored in an air-tight container or in the gift box provided as we have placed an anti-tarnish tab inside. This will limit exposure and keep the high polish finish squeaky clean. For further information please see our care pages located in our menu.
