Ordering Indian Silver Jewelry From Abroad: Sizing, Customs and What to Expect
Ordering jewelry from another country can feel like a leap of faith, especially when it is silver you cannot hold or try on. This guide walks you through the whole journey, from choosing a piece to opening the box, so there are no surprises. If you would like the bigger picture first, start with our guide to Indian silver jewelry for the diaspora.
Step 1: Choose your piece
Every product page tells you whether a piece is 92.5 hallmark silver or authentic vintage silver. Vintage pieces are one of a kind, so if you love one, do not wait for it to come back. If you are choosing a gift, browse The Gifting Edit.
Step 2: Check your size
Earrings, pendants and chains fit everyone. Rings and bangles need a measurement, and because international orders cannot be exchanged, it is worth getting this right the first time. Our sizing guide shows you how to measure at home, and the size chart photos on ring and bangle pages help you compare.
Step 3: Read the International Shipping page
Shipping charges, timelines and terms for international orders are all on our International Shipping page. Please read it before you check out, so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 4: Check out
Our prices are in Indian rupees. Your bank or card provider converts them to your own currency and may add its own foreign transaction fee, so it is worth checking with them if you shop abroad often.
Step 5: Dispatch and tracking
Ready-to-ship pieces are dispatched in 3 to 4 days, and made-to-order pieces take longer. Once your order has shipped, you can follow it on our Track Order page.
Step 6: Customs
Your country decides whether import duties or taxes apply to a parcel, and how much. We cannot predict or control this, and the rules and thresholds change from time to time, so check your customs authority’s current guidance before you order. Keep your order confirmation handy in case it is asked for.
Step 7: Unboxing and care
Your order arrives packed by hand with a handwritten note. Silver likes a little care, so read our care guide and store your pieces in the pouch they came in.
Quick answers
Can I exchange an international order?
No. International orders cannot be exchanged, which is why we suggest measuring carefully and writing to us with any questions before you order.
Will my parcel definitely clear customs without charges?
We cannot promise that, because each country sets its own rules. Checking your local rules in advance is the best way to avoid surprises.
