With each purchase of Paspaley pearl jewellery, which specifically contains an Australian Pearl, Paspaley provides you with a Certificate of Authenticity to guarantee the provenance and quality of the pearls delivered to you.

Paspaley.com features an extensive range of jewellery online, however a more extensive range can be viewed at any of our boutiques.

Paspaley strands are identified by a brilliant cut diamond set seamlessly in the end pearl of each strand. The Paspaley Strand Signature ® subtly and elegantly identifies each Paspaley strand and signifies the ultimate in strand quality. Perfectly hand-matched for colour and expertly balanced in size, with the world’s most refined stringing technique, a prized strand of pearls is the hallmark of Paspaley. Read more in the Strands section of our website.

The Paspaley E-Boutique carries a range of ring sizes. If your ring size is not immediately available we can provide your first ring resize free of charge.

Please note that if you order a ring in a size that is not immediately available, there may be a waiting time of up to 2 weeks for delivery. Paspaley uses the measurement of the inner circumference of a ring to determine its size, but it is our recommendation that you see a professional to be fitted. It is important to note that the size of a ring can vary slightly depending on the particular design you have chosen.

When ordering a Paspaley ring, please bear in mind that we are unable to exchange or provide a refund for a ring that has been altered from its original size. If you find that you have ordered the wrong size, in most cases it is possible to have your ring resized a second time at a cost of $100 for sizes smaller than your original choice or $150 for sizes larger than your original choice of size./p>

All Paspaley purchases come with pearl care instructions and a chamois for cleaning. As a guide, you can follow these tips:

• Wait until after applying makeup, perfume and hair products to put on your jewellery. Some chemicals may harm pearls.
• Wipe your pearl jewellery with the Paspaley pearl chamois provided before putting away.
• Store your pearl jewellery wrapped in a soft cloth to protect it from rubbing against harder gems or abrasive objects.
• Occasionally clean your pearls gently with a cloth dipped in alcohol diluted with warm water or in mild soapy water. Rinse the cloth in fresh water and wipe pearls clean. Dry with a soft cloth.
• Strands will require restringing from time to time, depending on how often they are worn. It is advisable to seek guidance annually on restringing. All strand purchases are offered one free restring per year.

To organise a repair or restringing of items purchased online please contact our Personal Shopper, who will assist you with this process. For repairs or restringing of items purchased in-store, please contact your nearest Paspaley boutique. Unless otherwise stated, the standard time frame for a Paspaley repair or restring is 3 weeks from receipt of the item. 

Our boutiques do carry some different pieces and, in some cases, a specific design will only be carried in one or a few boutiques, rather than all. It is not always possible to produce multiple quantities of certain pieces. This is due to the nature of the Paspaley business, the rarity and difficulty in sourcing multiple pearls of the same type and quality, and the quality of our craftsmanship, with all pearls being hand-set in Australia.

If you see a specific piece online which you would like to view in one of our boutiques, please phone your closest boutique to check if they may carry that item. If not, they can arrange to have it shipped in for your viewing. If the item is not immediately available online then you may contact the Personal Shopper who can either order the piece for you, or make recommendations on alternative pieces.

My Paspaley members can log in to their account and book an appointment with their chosen boutique through viewing products on their Wishlist, or through the Book An Appointment function in your profile.
