Delivery Information
All deliveries are free of charge and our expert courier service will ensure your jewellery reaches you as quickly as possible. We aim to deliver UK orders within 1 - 3 working days and international orders within 2 - 5 working days.
Please allow extra time on weekends, Bank Holidays and during our busy Christmas and Easter periods. Please also allow extra time for ring sizing.
You might prefer us to deliver to your place of work or to a relative’s home. This is no problem, but we may contact you in advance for extra security to ensure your package arrives safely. For security, if payment has been taken over the phone, delivery would need to be to the billing address.
Please be aware that all deliveries need to be signed for. If you are not present at the time of delivery, you will be able to reschedule your delivery for a more convenient time.

Boodles Service
At Boodles, we offer a free cleaning service for all our jewellery. Simply call into any of our stores and we will arrange this for you. You can find your nearest showroom here. You will receive a valuation for insurance when you first buy your item, and we advise you to have this updated by us once every two years in order to reflect changes in precious metal and gemstone prices. This is a complimentary service and so during busy periods we kindly request your patience with this.

Working Out Your Size
You may already know your ring size, based on a ring you own that is a comfortable fit. If not, you can download one of our ring sizers here. Another fail-safe way to work out your size is to bring a ring that is worn on the same finger as the one you want to buy into a Boodles boutique and we will measure it for you. Alternatively, visit a local jeweller and ask if they might be kind enough to size your finger. Fingers tend to be larger at the end of the day, so please bear this in mind when you are trying on rings. Do not try on a ring if your hands are cold because your fingers may be up to half a size smaller. A ring should fit snugly on your finger but still be loose enough to remove without too much tugging.
Buying a Ring For Someone Else
Don’t let getting the wrong size put you off surprising someone. If you are unsure of the correct size we are happy to guide you through selecting an initial size, which can then be altered if necessary at a later date. This is, of course, with our compliments. In some cases the item may need to be re-made, which can take several weeks but we would be happy to advise you of the best options prior to purchase. We are also able to send you a complimentary ring sizer for reference.
International Ring Sizes
Other countries label their ring sizes differently. Please refer to the chart below to find out your Boodles ring size. Find your ring size here.
Necklaces
Classic-length necklaces - 46 cm (18-inch) - are our most popular style. They fall just below the neck and slightly lower if a pendant is attached. Our longer opera-length necklaces are a versatile alternative. They tend to be between 99 cm and 109 cm (39 inches and 43 inches) and are designed to fall just below the bust. If you would prefer a different length chain, we are happy to provide one upon request. This may incur an additional charge in some cases.
Bracelets
Our bracelets measure an average 18 cm (7-inches). We are able to shorten most bracelets for the perfect fit, but lengthening can be more difficult. Lengthening bracelets depends on the construction of the links, and may require us to make a new bracelet. Please contact us to find out more about our free alteration service.
