ORDERING PROCESS

THE THOUGHT OF INVESTING YOUR MONEY INTO SOMETHING SO PRECIOUS ONLINE CAN BE INTIMIDATING FOR MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS.
UNDERSTANDING HOW THE PROCESS WORKS CAN BE HELPFUL.

Please note: all of our designs are custom made one of a kind pieces. As a general guideline, wait times can be 6-8 weeks from the time we receive your precious inclusions.

Depending on the ring size, the design you would like to have made, and if any unpredicted circumstances and delays should arise on our supply chains, this process could take longer. We prefer to make your piece perfect and take our time, not rush through the process to ‘get the job done’ so we greatly appreciate your patience and understanding with the steps we must complete to create your precious keepsake.

PLACE YOUR ORDER

All orders are made here through the Keepsakes by Nicoleta website. We do not accept any Cash or EFT payments. When you select the item you would like to order, you will also be able to select the colour you wish for your keepsake. Once you have finalised your selections, you can pay for your order through the online checkout. There is a Notes section in the checkout, where you can let us know any extra information or special requests. You are also welcome to email me. if your information won’t fit in the space provided. You will receive an email confirmation of your order.

SEND YOUR INCLUSIONS

If you have ordered an item that I will craft using inclusions you send me, now is the time to send them in. My address is PO Box 1417, Baulkham Hills NSW 1755. I recommend sending your inclusions with tracking, via express or registered post with signature on delivery.

RING SIZING

If you ordered a ring, we will post you a small, adjustable ring sizer. It looks like a little tape measure that slips over your finger. Once you received your ring sizer, please measure the size of the finger you will wear your ring on, and email us. If you’re not sure of the best size, you’re welcome to send us a photo of the sizer on your finger, and we will work it out for you. You don’t need to return the ring sizer.

CRAFTING

Once we have received any inclusions and sizing information, your order will take approximately 6-8 weeks to finalise. Sometimes we send sneak peek photos before sending an order home. If you would prefer to keep your order a surprise until you receive, please let us know in the Notes at checkout when you order.

SENDING YOUR ORDER HOME

When your order is ready to send home, we will give the delivery details to Australia Post. You will receive an email with your tracking information and updates of your package while it is in transit. You will also receive an email from us, to let you know your order is complete.
