Broochella Warranty & Care Policy
Every piece of Broochella jewellery, including silk, beaded, metal, feather, and fabric brooches, comes with a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects and workmanship. The warranty becomes void if the product has been subjected to misuse, alteration by anyone other than Broochella, or exposure to spills, stains, or chemicals.

-
Notification: Notify Broochella by email at broochella@broochella.com with:

- Response Time: Broochella will respond within 2 business days.

Return Process:

- Free Returns for Faulty Items: Broochella covers return shipping costs for confirmed faulty items.
Faulty Items
Each item undergoes a thorough quality check, but occasional faults may be missed. Wear and tear from normal use, including natural oxidation of metals, is not considered a manufacturing fault. This includes tarnishing or changes due to exposure to chemicals like perfume, moisturizers, and skincare products, as well as loss of stones, breaking, or chipping from mishandling.
Please note that spills or stains from liquids are not considered a manufacturing fault and will not be covered under warranty for fabric, feather, or beaded brooches. Care should be taken to protect these delicate materials from contact with liquids and other potential staining agents. Be sure to follow our Care Guide to help preserve the condition of your Broochella pieces.
Variance in Brooches & Jewelry
Broochella brooches and jewelry pieces are crafted by skilled artisans in India. Each piece bears unique characteristics, and slight variations may occur in metals, crystals, stones, feathers, and fabrics, enhancing their individuality. These variances are not covered under warranty. If you have specific concerns about variances, please contact us at broochella@broochella.com.
Repairs
For repair requests beyond the warranty period, please email broochella@broochella.com. Include details of the repair needed, and we will determine if it can be accommodated along with any associated charges. Shipping charges for repair requests are the responsibility of the customer.
Third-Party Purchases
Broochella does not accept returns or warranty claims for items purchased through Broochella stockists. Please contact the stockist where the item was purchased and follow their returns policy.
This warranty clause covers Broochella’s commitment to quality while emphasizing care requirements for each material, ensuring our customers understand the necessary handling for long-lasting wear.
