Product Information

Why does my item look different from the image on the website?

All our crystals are unique and hand-picked just for you, so they may vary from the image you see on our site. Each crystal boasts its own healing and magical properties, which makes them so very amazing.

 

How should I care for my jewellery?

It’s best to remove your jewellery before showering, swimming, sleeping, washing your hands or applying lotion or perfume. Be careful to avoid tugging your pieces when putting them on or off. When not in use, store your jewellery in a cool, dry place, ideally in a box or pouch (like the one we supply with delivery).

Crystal Information

Why should I cleanse my crystals?

Cleansing your crystals is important as crystals travel long distances to reach you, exposing the stone to many energies along the way. Of course, we only want good energy, right? When used in healing, stones are said to be able to absorb or dispel the negativity you're working to release. Cleansing and recharging your crystals is the only way to restore your stones to their natural state so they can fully serve their purpose.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 

 

How do I cleanse my crystals?

There are a few ways you can cleanse your crystals at home, including using running water, sunlight or moonlight⁠, smoking, smudging, sound and using other crystals. Check out our Caring for Crystals page for more detailed information on each method.

What happens if my parcel is lost or damaged?

We’ll do what we can to help but we’re not liable for loss of parcels or damage during transit, as we have no control over the shipping process. Keep in mind that once items have left us, we’re unable to find out any extra information as we are not the addressee. 

 

What happens if my parcel is returned before delivery?

Sometimes parcels can’t be delivered and end up back with us. This can happen if you’ve provided an incorrect or incomplete address, or if your parcel isn’t collected from your local post office within the stipulated timeframe. In these cases, no refunds will be provided for shipping costs and you’ll need to pay for re-delivery.

 

Returns

What do I do if I’m not happy with my item?

If for any reason you’re not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us via email at info@byeileen.com.au within 48 hours of receiving your item(s). Due to the nature of our products, we cannot accept returns on any products unless they are deemed faulty. This includes change of mind and customised items.

We can only accept items for return that are sent via tracking and well packaged to minimise damage in transit. By Eileen is not liable for packages lost or damaged during return shipping.

  

I’ve accidentally purchased the wrong item - can I return it?

Unfortunately, we are not liable for unread or misread information. Please ensure you read each product listing and choose carefully when making a purchase. Each listing has detailed information and measurements to help you choose. 

By purchasing any of our items, you confirm that you accept the suitability of the product. It’s your responsibility to ensure you’ve read the product description before buying an item.

  

Is my jewellery covered for wear and tear?

I’ve accidentally damaged my piece - can it be repaired?

If your piece is damaged due to an accident or negligence, we’ll see if we can repair it. In these cases, you’re responsible for the cost of postage and repair.

  

What if my item is faulty?

At By Eileen, we do our best to ensure that all products are inspected before delivery.

If you do receive a faulty item due to a manufacturing issue, send us a clear picture of the product within 48 hours. If it’s clear the item has a manufacturer’s fault, and it can be repaired, we’ll get you to send it back to us for the necessary repairs. Should the item be deemed unrepairable, we will organise a refund or replacement.

All our crystals are unique and hand-picked just for you, so they may vary from the images you see on our site. Each crystal boasts its own healing and magical properties which means we are unable to exchange due to change of mind.

All our pieces are delicate and therefore are important to be handled, stored and cleaned carefully. Please refer to “Jewellery Care Information’ on how to care for your crystals and jewellery.

 

Do I have to pay for return postage?

How do I send back my faulty item?

The returned item must be lodged over the counter at your nearest Australia Post outlet with trackable shipping service. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item.

Upon receipt of the item, we’ll process your return, less any shipping costs. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in its original packaging.

 

How long do I have to return an item?

You have 14 days to return a faulty item. If 14 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately, we can’t offer you a refund, credit, repair or exchange. Products also need to be returned in their original, unused condition and packaging.

 

Can I return an item I bought on sale?

No. Unfortunately, only regular priced items may be returned or exchanged. This includes change of size. Please note that warranties are also not applicable to sale pieces due to heavily reduced prices.

 

How can I organise an exchange?
