Purchasing

The Jewellery photographs enable you to see what is available in the shop that is already handmade for you to buy. You will always receive the exact item shown in the photo. I confirm that the photographs are a precise image of the products, but you can count on they will look more lovely in real life.

As with all semi-precious/precious gemstones and crystals, there will be minute variations in some of the sizes of the beads used for handmade jewellery.

When choosing your gemstone jewellery gifts, please note the dimensions given in the description of each piece. If you require a different size? Contact me with your correct size before placing your order then I can remake it. There will be an additional charge for alterations on all wrongly sized jewellery purchases.

Custom Orders 

Price quotes on commission orders remain valid for one week from the date the quotes are given. Full Deposit payment is required within three days of this time before I start the jewellery design. You will receive a final payment invoice by email to be paid by Bank Transfer. Deposits must be paid by bank transfer.

I require a deposit to start making your commissioned order. Deposits are non-refundable and are essential to start making your jewellery design as I have to buy the silver and your required gemstones. 

My advice is that handmade commission bracelets should be at least an inch larger than the size of your wrist. Bracelets made to a tight fit are likely to break due to “tight pressure”. I am happy to repair and resize for you if problems occur because of this, and a charge will be made for the repair, resizing and return postage.  Please note that when requesting a size to fit you, please give me your exact length. Custom sizes come within 0.25 inches of the requested size due to variations in stones and designs. When commissioning a ring to fit you please make sure you take your ring size in the evening. You can also request a ring sizer that will be sent to you in the post.

Unique Bespoke Jewellery commissions are not eligible for a refund or replacement. Repairs are allowed if the piece is faulty within 14 days of receiving it, and I will return it to you free of charge. Deposits for Bespoke commissioned orders are non-refundable as these Jewellery orders are classified as personal contracted orders.

 Disclaimer. ©

The services I provide are recognised to be forms of Complementary and Alternative Therapy. I am not implying a cure or any guarantees with Gemstone healing and Angelic Reiki with the Jewellery.

Immerse yourself in the captivating combination of crystal energy healing and Angelic Reiki healing. Let your spirit soar and relax your mind with crystals. Wear them as gemstone Jewellery, keeping them next to your body to assist you with your desired outcome. Crystals have varying energies and vibrations for the mind, body and soul. Gemstones also have a variety of colours.

The use of crystals for healing is a personal choice as a wellness therapy and not a replacement for medical treatment. When you or someone you know has health issues see a medical practitioner. Using or wearing a crystal does not mean you can cure or prevent any disease. Users of crystals should regularly consult a physician about any physical, emotional and psychological needs. Gemstones can assist you alongside your medical treatments.

Reiki works on all healing levels with the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. Reiki is a natural holistic system of healing energy that goes to where the problem is in the mind or body the healing will search out the problem areas.

Reiki is a hands-on healing system for channelling Life Force energy from the Angelic beings of pure light. The Reiki healer channels this energy through her body and out through her healing hands. Throughout the Angelic connection, the healer protects the body from picking up any negative energy from the client and protects clients from receiving any negative energy. The only energy is 100% pure Angelic energy.

The client does not have to believe in Reiki to do its work, but it helps if the client allows it to work for them.

Distance Healing, also known as Remote Healing, is the relaxing transfer of energy from a Healer to the recipient, no matter where they happen to be. 

Angelic Reiki Distance Healing can be effective without a physical presence and can shift across any distance. It’s healing energy, we can’t see it, but you may be able to feel it. 

Another example is when we think about someone or something, then either that person rings or you might bump into them the next day, or sooner. Thought is energy, so when we focus our intent, we send that energy out to the person, situation or place.

Angelic Reiki Healing Energy and Doctor’s medicine are two different methods that can complement each other. Angelic Reiki is the creation of natural healing, not the practice of medical medicine. The purpose of Angelic Reiki is alternative healing and is not a replacement for professional medical care and treatment but can work with it. In case of any medical disease or ailment, you should always consult your doctor for advice.

Jacqui Alves of Jewellery Dreams is associated with Angelic Reiki and Gemstone Healing Jewellery, makes no claims, promises or guarantees and is not diagnosing or treating specific health issues or life challenges. You are individually accountable for attending to and proceeding with your medical treatment and care. If you choose to add Angelic Reiki to the Jewellery to compliment your medical treatments then that is your choice.
