Using mostly precious stones, Blue Sapphires,
Rubies, Emeralds, Pearls and Diamonds, the Black
Star Jewellery designs are classical and timeless
in their style, and pleasing in their simplicity.
Good taste is the aim, with a very reasonable
price tag.
To sum up, this is very much a ‘bespoke jewellery’ or ‘jewellery by commission’ site that will allow you to buy a unique piece of good quality jewellery at a very reasonable price.

| VALUE: |
| When you buy jewellery from Black Star Jewellery, you will be paying only 25% to 50% of the cost for a similar piece in the US or EU. This is because our overhead structure is kept very low, and we have access to the finest wholesale gems suppliers in the world, here in Bangkok. The quality of stone that we will
ship to you will nearly always exceed the quality of those
you can find in the US or EU at the same price. |
| |
| GOLD: |
We generally use an above average
weight of gold in our designs, so the pieces feel solid
and have a reassuring ‘presence’ on your person. |
| |
The pieces are crafted locally by goldsmiths whose skills
at working gold go back many hundreds of years, and indeed
they still work in the traditional fashion using the traditional
tools.
|
Black Star Jewellery uses 18k (75%)
gold throughout our entire range for reasons of durability.
The exception is the occasional 24k hook of soft gold to
connect the back of a necklace, or other items where 24k
is stated. |
| |
| DIAMONDS: |
The diamonds we use are all VSI (means
very slightly included, or clear under x10 magnification)
quality or better. |
| |
| SKILL AND DESIGN: |
Black Star Jewellery is a business
where enthusiasm and pleasure in creation are a driving
force. To create a unique piece for a customer, either for
a special occasion or a spontaneous gift which will be cherished,
always gives us great pleasure. |
| |
Our designer uses his skill in selecting
the best stones from among the thousands that he regularly
sees and the main things he looks for in a gemstone are
Cut, Clarity and Colour. There is also a very special quality
to some stones which we can call ‘sparkle’,
‘fire’, ‘life’ or ‘brilliance’
that other stones do not have. |
| |
If a gemstone has this extra quality,
it is then good enough for Black Star to buy. |
| |
Look in the ‘Information about gemstones’
section of this site if you would like to know more about
the Cut, Clarity and Colour of precious stones.
|
| |
Having purchased stones with good ‘brilliance’,
there follows a period of careful consideration, as to the
best way of presenting the stones. Once a decision has been
made, the process of designing a new piece has to start
with pencil and paper. The designer will get his design
ideas from many places and will often combine a number of
different ideas to produce something rather special. |
| |
Our designer will also be happy to
take on board your requests for a design, and make a piece
of jewellery to your specification. |

| PAYMENTS, GUARANTEE, POSTAGE
AND PACKAGING: |
If you choose to buy an item from
our stock, please use the ‘Order form’ button
and follow the instructions revealed by the ‘Payments’
button. |
We will receive your order, and once
the money has cleared, the item will be despatched to you
by carrier. We currently use either Fedex, DHL or an equally
reliable carrier to guarantee the delivery. The progress
of a delivery can be tracked using this service on their
websites. We will advise you of the service used. |
| |
Black Star Jewellery is happy to guarantee that, if the
goods are not found to be as advertised, on return of
the goods in their original condition, within 30 days
of the despatch date, we will refund your money.
|
| |
Postage and packaging are extra, the
amount as advised on the payment form, and if your government
levies duty or tax, this must be paid by the purchaser at
the delivery address. |
| |
| RING SIZES: |
For rings in stock, the size will
be altered free of charge by one American size up or down.
This alteration will be carried out by us before despatch
if requested. Adjustments beyond two sizes may require some
minor restructuring of the ring, especially if there are
stones on the shoulders. If it is necessary to make a small
extra charge for a structural change, we will advise you.
Please make sure you tell us the finger size! |
| |
Further minor adjustments to ring
size after you have received the ring should be undertaken
locally at the cost of the purchaser. |
