Payment & Currency

Charms Of Light® is a British based website.  All payments are accepted in British Pounds (GBP £) only.  In some countries, this website may default to show your own currency on its items.  There is also a currency converter provided at the top of each page which can be used as a guide.  Whichever currency is shown, please note, your payment will be taken in British Pounds GBP £ and your order confirmation will show this.  The current exchange rate will be calculated at the time of your purchase and shown with your payment details.  (Please note: your own bank's currency exchange may differ slightly to the one provided on this website.)

Payment is accepted by the following methods: ...

  • Credit or Debit Card:  - I use an SSL Certificate which enables encryption of sensitive information during online transactions.  You can be confident that all information given is safe and secure, and I never see your card details.
    (Please note:  If you are paying with an American Express card, please use the PayPal checkout button in your shopping cart.)
  • PayPal Express: - For PayPal account holders, this is a fast and secure way to make your payment by either credit card or directly from your PayPal account.
  • Wire Transfer: - For International customers (by request only).  Items will not be held, and your order will only be confirmed upon receipt of payment.
  • Bank Transfer: - For UK based customers only.  Items will not be held, and your order will only be confirmed upon receipt of payment.

Please be advised that when choosing PayPal Express to pay for your order, the correct shipping location must first be chosen.  If it is incorrect, you will be charged the difference (plus an administration fee) for the correct shipping costs.
 


Purchasing

Clear pictures are shown to allow you to see the jewellery and gifts that are available for purchase.  Measurements are given with the description of each piece.  In some cases you will receive the exact item shown in the photograph, however if more than one of any item is available, I deem the photographs to be a clear representation of the product.   

As with all semi precious gemstones and crystals, there will be slight variations in all the beads used for jewellery products, and in gemstone carvings.

When choosing your healing jewellery or gemstone gift, please take note of the measurements given with the description of each piece.  If you require a different size, please contact me with your request, before placing your order.  There will be an additional charge for alterations required on all wrongly sized jewellery purchases.

Please take note of care instructions which are provided on each item page.

 

Custom Orders / Quotes

Price quotes on custom orders remain valid for 2 days from the date the quote is given.  Full payment is required within this time.  If payment is not received, after 2 days all pieces put aside for the order will be made available to other customers.  A new quote will then be given to cover any costs involved in obtaining new stones/wire etc that may have become out of stock.

A small non-refundable deposit may be required on some custom orders.  Where a deposit is taken, once an order has been created to the customers' satisfaction, payment of the balance must be made within 2 days or the item may be added to the website for sale to the public.

My recommendation is that bracelets be at least an inch larger than the size of your wrist.  Bracelets made smaller than that are likely to break due to "stress".  I am happy to repair and resize for you if problems arise because of this, however a charge will be made for the repair, resizing and return postage.  Please note that when requesting a special size, I can not guarantee exact length.  Custom sizes come within 0.25 inches of requested size due to variations in stones and designs.

Please note:  If you haven't ordered a consultation separately, a gemstone consultation fee will be added to all custom orders that require assistance in finding the right gemstone (or gemstones) to help your situation.

 

Healing Services

For services purchased via the Charms Of Light website, details and/or session times (if applicable) will be sent by email.

Once you have purchased a healing service you will be contacted by email.  2 attempts will be made to contact you with regard to the service you have purchased.  In the case of a service being purchased and an appointment not confirmed, there will be 2 attempts made to contact you to schedule your session(s).  After this time, if there is no reply, your order will be cancelled and payment refunded, less the fees charged to me by the payment processing company through which you originally paid.  This excludes Gemstone Consultations and General Advice/Guidance, in which case it will be understood that the purchase was for services rendered via the information on this website. 

Everything discussed in a reading or consultation remains completely confidential by both parties.  Any information that you are given is not to be repeated or replicated as your own.
 


Delivery

Wherever possible, I endeavour to post all healing products within 3 working days - Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) of receiving confirmed payment, with the exception of custom orders and items specified as "made to order" which may take longer.

I use UK Royal Mail for all shipping requirements.  A tracking number will be given for all packages.  For overseas customers, once your item has left the UK, your package will be handed over to your local postal service for delivery.

Packages will be addressed to the exact delivery address entered on your order, so please ensure that the full and correct delivery details have been given.  I will not be held responsible for any wrongly addressed packages, or packages deemed to be wrongly addressed by any postal authority, being returned to me or getting lost in the postal system.

Shipping options and costs, in relation to your order and shipping destination, are clearly stated in your shopping basket before you reach checkout.  See "Shipping / Postage & Packaging" for full details. 

Delivery options are calculated based on the weight and size of your package for each separate delivery address.  EU and Rest of World orders weighing over 2kg will be split into 2 packages.

In the case that you have placed multiple orders to the same destination, these - wherever possible - will be packaged and shipped together.

It is the responsibility of the customer to contact Charms Of Light if your package has not been received within a reasonable amount of time, according to the expected delivery times stated in "Shipping / Postage & Packaging".  In the case of any package being damaged or lost in the post, I will make a claim of compensation from Royal Mail on your behalf.  Once the loss or damage has been confirmed by Royal Mail, and not before this time, a reimbursement of your costs - up to a maximum of £50 (as stated above) - will be made where applicable.  

In the case that your package is unclaimed and/or returned to me, three attempts to contact you will be made.  If there is no response to these contacts, your items will be auctioned and any monies raised will be given to charity.  Reposting your returned package will cost the original shipping (or current shipping cost if prices have risen) plus the fee charged to me by the payment processing company through which your payment is made.  

Some countries have postal restrictions on semi-precious gemstones and/or jewellery.  Please check with Customs & Excise in your chosen destination before placing your order.  If you choose to go ahead with the purchase of any item(s) that are restricted, you take full responsibility for any loss or additional costs if the items do not reach their destination.  If your package is returned to me, marked "Refused by Customs", you will receive a refund for your items, less original shipping costs and any fees I have been charged.

Items sent from the UK to the EU are subject to VAT and duties in the EU.  Customer is responsible for the payment of any VAT, duties, or fees charged for receipt of their package.  If your package is returned to me because of unpaid fees, you will receive a refund for your items, less original shipping costs and any fees charged to me by the payment processing company through which you originally paid.

Please remember to add caryl@charmsoflight.com to your email address book to ensure you receive your confirmation, as well as information about when your package has been sent.  I am not responsible for emails you do not receive.
