Where is my confirmation email?
Once your order is placed you'll be sent an email saying that your order has been received. After your order is made and processed, you'll receive another email with shipping information and a tracking number. Australia post will then be in contact with transit and delivery information. If you don't receive any emails there is most likely a typo in the address provided or it has gone to junk mail.

RING SIZING
I ordered the wrong size, what do I do now?
I offer free ring resizing on all my rings that don't have a stone if you live in Australia. You will just have to cover the postage to get your ring back to me. If there are multiple rings that need resizing a small fee may apply. Email Cath if you have any sizing questions. hibycath@gmail.com

How do I find my ring size?
The best and most accurate way is to go into any jewellery store and ask to get your ring size measured.

AFTERCARE
How do I clean my silver jewellery?
I include a polishing cloth with every order. It has a polishing compound woven into it that is effective as long as you don't wash it. Otherwise, the easiest way is to use warm, soapy water and a soft toothbrush. This method removes any dirt and oil from the surface of the silver. Rinse well and pat dry.
