When received the earrings look beautiful and well made but one was not able to close properly and the company sent me a replacement. The replacement has the same issue.Really frustrating.

Hi Annat, we appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear you're still having trouble with the clasp. Sterling silver is a soft metal, so the earring post can occasionally bend slightly out of alignment. Since we previously sent an extra replacement free of charge, we'd love to help you get both working smoothly. Please contact us so we can share a quick guide on how to safely align the post by yourself.

If you return an item, it will cost you

If there's a chance you might return an item, it's probably not worth it. I bought a $100 earring for my son for his birthday and it didn't come in time (took 15+ days to arrive), so I bought him one from a local retailer so he would have something to open on his birthday. When it did come, I found out it was not returnable because it's a skin contact item. But, the people at Bling Proud were nice enough to make an exception. It cost me $30 to send it back to China, and I received an $80 refund. So, the whole kerfuffle cost me $50 and I have nothing to show for it. Am I glad I got half of my money back? Sure, it's better than losing $100, but I will not be shopping here again. I did read their return policy before purchasing and I guess I missed the fine print. I read this statement at the top of the page "If you are not happy with an item it may be returned within 30 days" and figured I was good. I just think they need to be more transparent with customers - it's not good enough to have a bullet point in the refund policy (there are 28 bullet points on this page!). If an item is non-returnable, it should say it in plain language on the product page and in checkout. And, it should be clear that if a customer returns anything, they will be paying for the return cost TO CHINA. That is the important part - China. It's very expensive to send stuff to China.

Dear Kate,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We genuinely apologize for the delay in shipping and the inconvenience it caused for your son's birthday.

To ensure hygiene and safety for all our customers, our official policy states that we do not accept returns on Grillz and Earrings due to hygiene reasons, as well as under our Limited Coverage Policy, customers are responsible for return shipping fees.

However, understanding your situation, our team sincerely wanted to help and made a special exception to accept your return and issue an $80 refund (minus the 25% restocking fee as per our policy). While we understand that international return shipping costs can be high, we always strive to find a balance between upholding safety standards and supporting our customers.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the visibility of our policy details on the product page, and we will certainly take this into consideration to improve our website experience.

Hi Matt,

We believe it is important to clarify the facts for transparency.

Value & Material: The price of $1,700 AUD reflects the substantial weight of this heavy Cuban Link chain. As clearly stated on our product page, this piece is crafted from a solid Silver base with 14k Gold plating. The cost is driven by the significant amount of silver used and the market rates for precious metals, not just the plating.

The "Fading" Issue: Upon reviewing your photos, the "fading" is strictly limited to the inner connecting links. This is caused by metal-on-metal friction (mechanical wear) from movement, which is normal for heavy chains. It is factually incorrect to claim the entire necklace has faded.

Gold Properties: It is important to note that even solid 14k gold will tarnish or show wear marks under similar friction and environmental conditions over time.

Regarding our service: We strongly deny making any derogatory comments about affordability. Our team simply explained the nature of the metal. We offered you a complimentary professional replating service to restore the friction points—a solution you refused.

While we stand by our quality, demanding a full refund for minor friction marks on a heavy piece that has been worn for months is not a reasonable request.
Our offer to help you replate the link joints remains open.

Best regards,
Bling Proud Team

The picture of the product was not accurate in color or size. I tried to return it and get a refund, but you wouldn't accept a return and give a refund. I'll never buy from you again. I'm very unhappy with you.

Hi Charles, Upon reviewing your order, you purchased a pair of 15mm size 14k gold earrings from us. Please note that due to hygiene reasons, we have a strict policy against accepting returns for earrings, as they are considered skin-contact items. This policy is clearly stated on our website, and we hope for your understanding. If the size isn’t what you wanted, we do offer a smaller 12mm option and would be happy to assist you in resending a smaller size to better meet your needs.

Hi Allen,

We noticed that you recently purchased a pair of hoop earrings. Please be informed that the earring post is made of silver, which is a soft material. Over time, it may become slightly loose with prolonged use.

To address this, here is a small tip: you can gently pull the clicker post outward toward the hoop. This should help tighten the clasp and resolve the issue.

We hope this solution is helpful.

Dear Miguel,

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the dimension size of the earrings not meeting your expectations. Upon reviewing your order, we see that you purchased a pair of 12mm hoop earrings, which are designed in a huggie style. TThe dimension details are provided on the product page for your reference, which you might have overlooked.

If you prefer a larger size, we do offer 15mm hoops and would be happy to assist you with a size exchange. We hope this solution addresses your concern.

Pour Quality BLING PROUD

Bought a moissanite chain and bracelet from Bling Proud. cost over 1400.

Red flag number 1- I checked tracking, and it was coming from China.

package did come rather fast for coming from China, got them and I was completely disappointed, very thin and the moissanite was dull looking. then on further inspection, the individual links are not even soldered, they have open gaps, some bigger some smaller and some are soldered. horrendous. I emailed them, they said: Regarding the gaps you mentioned in the Cuban link chain, I’d like to clarify that Cuban chains are typically designed with open links rather than welded ones. This is standard manufacturing practice across the jewelry industry and allows for easier assembly of the chain. If a customer specifically requests welded links, we can certainly accommodate that and create a custom piece. However, unless such a request is made, our Cuban chains—and those of most jewelers—will not have welded links, as this is considered normal in the production process. I also understand your frustration with the overall quality control. Please rest assured that we take such feedback seriously, and we are committed to ensuring the highest standards for all our products. If you’d like to proceed with a return, we’d be happy to assist you with the process. Please note that a 25% restocking fee will apply as per our policy. Thank you for your understanding.

This is not correct Cuban links are supposed to be soldered, all links soldered.
Bling proud has a YouTube page and they have a video of how they make Cuban link chains, the thumbnail of the video is a pic of them welding an individual link in the chain and in the video they weld an individual link in the chain

They are making me pay for return shipping and charging me 25percent restocking fee.
The return zipcode on the return address they gave me is wrong according to the guy at Fed Ex, so i used the zip code that they used when they shipped it to me, return address is different from the address they shipped it from, same city though. From my experience so far an being lied to they probaby gave me the wrong return address on purpose. fed ex has them now so too late on that
I had to pay fed ex $175 for return shipping
these people are not honest and you cant trust what they say, the pics i sent them are of the necklace, not the bracelet, but they both have links that are not welded

Hi Jonathan,
We noticed that you purchased 12mm wide cuban links. Each customer has different preferences regarding chain width, and we also offer 15mm, 16mm, and even wider 20mm uban links. If you feel that the current style isn't suitable, we can certainly provide an exchange.

Regarding the welded links, our standard manufacturing practice uses open links. Welded links require additional time and cost, and since there was no specific request for welded links prior to your purchase, the product sent to you was made according to our standard process.

As for the return address, we provided the correct information, and other customers have successfully returned their products. We will ensure a prompt refund once we receive the return.

We apologize again for the inconvenience, and please rest assured that we will process your refund as soon as possible.

The initial package was reportedly lost in transit. Fortunately, they promptly dispatched a replacement pair, which is commendable. The original package was unfortunately lost during transit. Despite this, it did not arrive in time for my event.
