SHOPPING & ORDERING

Which payment methods and gateways do you accept?

We accept payments via Visa, MasterCard, debit and credit cards. If preferred, we also offer the option to use PayPal Express Checkout. 

Do you accept order outside Australia?

Yes, we do. At the moment, we only ship to selected countries. Please view our Shipping and Delivery page for more information. 

International orders:

New Zealand

We offer free shipping for all purchases from $70 AUD.

All purchases under $70 incur a flat shipping cost of $12.00 AUD

Expected delivery time for orders to New Zealand is 10-12 business days depending on location. Please note that there may be delays to shipping during busy periods and holidays.

United States and other countries

All other international orders < $120 AUD placed via the AU website incur a flat shipping cost of approximately $12-$26 AUD, unless otherwise stated and depending on the shipping destination. We offer free shipping for all orders over 120$ AUD.
Please note that the order value thresholds for shipping costs apply to the total value of an order after any discount codes have been applied. 


All shipping charges from your order are non-refundable, and we are unable to change your shipping method once you have placed your order. By placing an order with Katherynloche, you are responsible for original shipping charges,
all applicable custom and duty import fees, and the cost of return shipping back to our office.


Due to customs requirements, unfortunately we can not ship to PO Boxes internationally. Please provide us you other postal address.

Customs and Duties:

All custom fees and duty are paid by customers, and will not be covered by Katherynloche. Depending on delivery location customs fees and charges may be payable.


Please note that your order is shipped duties and taxes unpaid. VAT, taxes and/ or duties are not included in the shipping and the products price. We will state the value of the order on the parcel based on customs authorities requirement.
Once your order has been dispatched, we will send you email updates about its progress so you know exactly when to expect it.

Which currencies can I pay in?

Katherynloche is now able to ship amazing jewellery to our friends outside of Australia! As such, we are able to accept payment through a number of currencies, including the Canadian Dollar, the Euro, the British Pound, the South Korean Won, the New Zealand Dollar and the United States Dollar.

If your currency is not listed on our website, then your order can be charged in any currency you set, and will be converted by your payment provider.

Could I make changes for my order after placing it?

Unfortunately, no changes can be made once an order is submitted. This is because we offer same day dispatched, and express shipping. However, you can contact us to return or exchange items that you are unsatisfied. Please refer to our returns and exchange conditions for more information. 

Can I cancel my order?

In order to improve the customer service, we dispatch all orders as soon as we can. Therefore, we are unable to cancel an order or change customer details in your orders after it has been placed. We recommend that you check through your cart before checking-out to ensure that everything is in order. 

What if an item I want to purchase is sold out/out of stock? Could I re- order the items?

With our main products range our stocks are limited, and not all products will be able to be restocked. However, sold-out products that we can restock will usually take around 2-3 weeks to bring back, so if you’re keen on a particular item, be sure to keep an eye out for it!

With our handmade range, we would try our best to restock sold-out item within 3 weeks. Since all products in that range are handmade, it takes longer time to create in order to guarantee the quality of products.

Do you offer personalised jewellery?

We offer a variety of personalised necklaces, bracelets and rings. These items can be customised using a mixture of English alpha-numeric symbols, and select other languages. The maximum length for this input will be shown on the product page of the personalised item.

Although we currently do not offer one-off products, we will do our best to expand our personalised offerings for our customers in the future.

Do the product colours match those exactly like on the photos? I want to make sure I get the right one!

As we use natural and artificial lighting during our photoshoots, there might be a slight difference on products colour. However, we do our best to provide the most exact colour as we can.

If you are unsatisfied with the products due to a disparity between the product colours and those shown on our site, you can return the product within 14 days. For further information, please refer to our return and exchange policy.

 What if I am allergic to some certain metals in jewellery?

If you are aware of any skin allergies, such as contact dermatitis, we suggest that you read our product descriptions. If you are allergic to Nickel, we recommend some of our Nickel and Lead free products. Please read our products description for further information. We care about you and try our best to provide you the best purchase decisions. 

I am not sure what size of rings to purchase

Most of our rings are adjustable due to the open-back design, meaning only one or two sizes will be on offer. However, our rings will follow the Alphabetical sizing system. Please refer to the product description for the diameter of ring size.

How to I use my discount code or a credit note?

In our check out page, you will need to fill in your email and delivery information before apply any discount codes/ or vouchers, in the provided area. Only one discount code may be applied for each cart-checkout.

 Why isn’t my discount code/ vouchers working?

If your discount code or vouchers are not working, you might need to check if:

  • The items in your cart do not meet the discount code terms and conditions. (i.e. 10% off on all Full Prices items, sale items will not be applied to items already reduced)
  • The code has expired
  • The discount code has been typed incorrectly
  • Our website is currently running a storewide sale

At checkout, if you are not able to input your discount code in the space provided, please let us know - if there is a technical issue, we are more than happy to create a custom invoice for your order.

 Can I use multiple discount codes on my order?

Only one discount code at a time can be valid for an order. (i.e. If you apply a code for “10% discount”, you will not then be able to apply a “Free Shipping” code as well in the same purchase).

I forgot to enter promotional code? What should I do?

Since an order is placed, we could not make any changes. You will have to save it for the next purchase

Please remember to enter your promotional code before submitting the order.
