How to buy jewellery and accessories you will love
Jewellery and accessories finish a look, whether it is a bridal set, oxidised earrings for college or a handbag for work. Our community has many women who design and make pieces by hand. Here is how to buy well.
Be clear about the material. Ask what the piece is made of: brass, silver, gold-plated, kundan, polki, oxidised metal, beads, fabric or resin. If you have sensitive skin, ask whether the metal is nickel free and how the plating is done.
Check the finish in real photos. Look at the gallery on each profile and ask for a short video in daylight. Photos under studio lights can look very different from the piece in your hand. Every listing on Busiqueens is reviewed by our team before it goes live, and the Verified badge shows it has been checked.
Ask about customisation. Many makers can change colours, lengths or stones to match your outfit. Share a photo of your dress and ask how long a custom order takes, especially before weddings and festivals.
Understand care and packaging. Ask how to store the piece and keep the shine. For gifts, ask whether gift packing and a note are available. Handmade pieces can vary slightly from the photos, which is part of their charm, so ask the maker to tell you what to expect.
Talk about prices, shipping and returns. Ask for the full price including shipping, and whether the seller ships across India. Confirm the return or exchange policy for damaged items before you pay, and keep your order details on WhatsApp.
Read the reviews. Reviews from other customers tell you about quality, colour accuracy and delivery times. After your order arrives, come back and leave a review. It helps the next buyer and supports a woman-led business.
When you are ready, contact the seller directly on WhatsApp or by phone from her profile.
