Outstanding customer service

When customer service informed me that they sadly could not fix my ring they kindly offered a 110% refund on the ring as store credit for me to buy a replacement. This was so unexpected for me as the ring was out of the warranty period and I could not believe their generosity. Their customer service team knows exactly how to keep a returning customer and are examples for any other retailer.

First time ordering

I’ve ordered for the first time and received my beautiful necklace today. Looks even prettier and unique in person than in pics. Lovely quality. Beautifully packaged, fast postage and lovely customer service. Will definitely be ordering more pieces in the future.

I couldn’t recommend them more

I have a few pieces from By Charlotte now, and I have been in love with the quality and style that they’ve provided.
Recently, in having a faulty product, the experience they provided in replacing the product was seamless and incredibly supportive. Its great to know a brand is as passionate about style and quality as By Charlotte is. I will definitely continue to invest in their pieces

Amazing service!

So happy with the service I received from By Charlotte. I received my jewellery item by courier to NZ but unfortunately the courier bag had been tampered with and I was delivered an empty bag 😢 while discussions were ongoing with the courier company, By Charlotte did not hesitate to send me a replacement item, even packaging it differently to how they normally would to avoid the issue happening again. They had every right to wait until the investigation with the courier company was complete but they didn’t want me to lose out so graciously sent the item, keeping me updated at all times. I cannot fault the service I received and am very grateful. Oh and the jewellery itself is beautiful too. So very happy 😊

I spent $400 on a ring and two gems…

I spent $400 on a ring and two gems fell out within a month of having it. By charlotte replaced the ring however refused to give me a new warranty despite a replacement due to their faulty product. Additionally when I initially went in to get the ring replaced the staff were unhelpful and unwelcoming. I went in a few weeeks later and the new staff was very helpful and able to do what the previous people were not.

Outstanding customer service

I emailed regarding a bracelet of mine that snapped, it was out of warranty however I got a quote from a local jeweller to fix and they reimbursed me the cost. Sarah’s customer service was outstanding and made the whole issue so seamless! I will definitely order again

Jewellery Discolouration

I love the jewellery style of By Charlotte but am very disappointed by the discolouration of their jewellery. I bought a ring and have never swam or showered with it - I just keep it on when I wash my hands and in only a year it went from gold to silver. I reached out to the customer service team and unfortunately it was out of warranty so I decided to proceed with a repair service for $30. I have had the ring back for a few months and it is back to silver! I have been really careful not to gym or shower or swim with it, but feel like the repair service was a waste of money. I don’t think I’ll be shopping with By Charlotte again.

Hi Antonia,

We apologise for your recent experience and as a brand, deeply value the feedback you have provided. Your satisfaction is incredibly important to us, and we regret any inconvenience this has caused!

Our 18k Gold Vermeil is a high-quality method of gold-plating, whereby Sterling Silver is coated with a thick layer of 18k Solid Gold. While it's a higher quality of plating, these items are still plated and may wear over time. We can see based on your conversation with our team, that after a year of wearing your ring every day, it was showing signs of the fading on the gold which can happen due to several factors.

When this jewellery comes into contact with water and sweat, chemical reactions can occur. The moisture, salts, and acids present in sweat and water can interact with the base metal beneath the gold plating, leading to either tarnishing or fading over time. We appreciate that you have followed our care instructions to ensure this piece has not been worn during exercise or swimming, however, if you are still wearing this piece when washing your hands you may experience the same issue.

After noting the wear we offered you a discounted replating service which was processed back in December of last year. The durability of the replating can depend on factors such as the thickness of the new layer, the quality of the plating process, and how often the item is worn. If you have a piece that you wear frequently, looking at our care tips (available on our website) can help prolong the life of this new plating.

We would love the opportunity to resolve this situation for you. Please reach out to us directly at customercare@bycharlotte.com.au if you'd like us to review this situation a second time we would be happy to see if anything else can be done. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to make this right.

Amazing customer service

I've been a bycharlotte customer for a few years and have always loved my pieces. There was a time where I had an issue with one of the pieces and Fiona made sure it was resolved promptly. Recently, Sarah helped ensure that a really special locket included an extra image that holds so much meaning for me. So grateful to the team and the quality pieces I've continued to receive!
