Choose Your Jewellery Type

  • Necklaces — Delicate pendants to layered statement pieces. Chain length: 16"–18" sits at the collarbone; 20"–24" falls lower on the chest.

  • Earrings — Studs for everyday wear; drop and dangle styles for occasions.
  • Brooches & Pins — Wear on lapels, scarves, bags, or hats.
  • Rings — Most styles are adjustable or available in standard sizes.

Understand the Materials

  • Natural Gemstones (agate, turquoise, jade, lapis lazuli, freshwater pearl) — Each stone is unique; colour variations are a hallmark of authenticity.
  • Brass & Enamel — Hand-painted enamel; keep away from water and chemicals.
  • 18K Gold Plated — Thick gold layer over brass/alloy; avoid water and perfume.
  • 925 Sterling Silver — May tarnish; polish with a silver cloth to restore shine.
  • Leather — Ages beautifully; condition periodically and keep dry.

Shop by Style

  • Vintage Style — Antique-gold finishes, natural pearls, Edwardian-inspired designs.

  • Pearl Collection — Freshwater and cultured pearls in classic and contemporary settings.
  • 7 Chakra — Natural healing stones aligned to chakra energy.

Care & Longevity

  • Store pieces separately in a pouch or jewellery box to prevent scratching.
  • Remove before swimming, showering, or applying perfume and lotions.
  • Wipe clean with a soft dry cloth after wear.
  • Keep natural stones away from direct sunlight to preserve colour.
  • Condition leather pieces periodically with a leather balm.

Frequently Asked Questions +
How do I know which jewellery style suits me?

Start with the occasion — everyday wear calls for lighter pieces like studs or delicate pendants, while events suit statement necklaces or zircon-inlaid bracelets. If you love history and texture, explore Vintage or Heritage Style. For bold, modern glamour, Zircon & Gemstone is a strong starting point.

Will the gold plating wear off over time?

All our gold-plated pieces use a thick multi-layer electroplating process for durability. With proper care — keeping pieces away from water, perfume, and chemicals — the finish maintains its warmth and character for a long time. Avoid sleeping or showering in your jewellery to extend its life.

My order arrived but the stone colour looks slightly different from the photo — is this normal?

Yes, this is completely normal and expected. All iBrilliance pieces use genuine natural stones, and no two stones are identical. Variations in colour, pattern, and tone are a hallmark of authenticity — your piece is truly one of a kind.

Can I wear these pieces if I have sensitive skin?

Most of our pieces are made with brass, alloy, or 925 sterling silver bases. If you have a known metal sensitivity, we recommend our sterling silver pieces or those with a thick gold-plated finish, and avoiding prolonged wear in humid conditions. If in doubt, contact us at admin@ibrilliance.shop before purchasing.

How long will delivery take and can I track my order?

UK orders typically arrive in 7–12 business days; international orders in 7–20 business days. All orders include tracking. Once dispatched, you'll receive a tracking number by email. You can also track your order via our Order Tracking page.

Do you ship to the UK?

Yes — free shipping to the UK, delivered in 7–12 working days.

How do I choose a jewellery style that suits me?

Start with your wardrobe — if you wear mostly neutral or earthy tones, natural stone pieces in turquoise, lapis lazuli or lava work well. For a more minimal look, choose a single pendant or delicate bracelet. If you prefer layering, mix different lengths and textures. Our buying guides cover each category in detail to help you decide.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 30-day return policy. Contact admin@ibrilliance.shop to arrange.

Can I buy jewellery as a gift?

Absolutely — our pieces make thoughtful gifts for any occasion.
