Value difference
If the replacement item costs more, you pay the difference. If it costs less, the balance is issued as store credit. Exchanges are subject to product availability. Our team will confirm before scheduling pickup.
2. Return policy
Returns are accepted only in the following cases:
Eligible return cases
- Wrong product delivered
- Damaged product received
- Product not received despite delivery confirmation
- Product lost in transit
Conditions
- Return request must be raised within 48 hours of delivery
- Clear images and an unboxing video are mandatory as proof
- Once approved, our team will share pickup instructions
- Replacement initiated within 2–3 business days of receiving the returned item
Returns are not accepted for change of mind, personal preference, or colour variation due to screen or lighting differences.
Earrings and studs are eligible for return under the damage, wrong item, or non-delivery cases listed above. The hygiene restriction in Section 3 applies only to preference-based exchanges, not to defective or incorrectly delivered items.
Manufacturing faults that appear after delivery — such as a broken clasp or a loose stone — are covered separately under our 15-day manufacturing defect guarantee. See our Pearlica Care page for details.
3. Non-returnable & non-exchangeable items
Individual earrings and studs
For hygiene reasons, individual earrings and studs cannot be exchanged for reasons of size, design preference, or dissatisfaction.
This restriction does not apply to damaged, defective, or wrongly delivered items. Earrings received in damaged or incorrect condition are always eligible for replacement, subject to the unboxing video requirement in Section 5.
Earrings within a set
Earrings supplied as part of a pendant set or jewellery set are covered by our standard 7-day exchange policy. Such sets are exchanged as a complete unit — individual components of a set cannot be exchanged separately.
Gift packaging
Gift packaging charges added at checkout are non-refundable once the order has been dispatched.
4. Cancellation policy
When can you cancel?
- Orders can be cancelled within 24 hours of placement
- Orders can also be cancelled before dispatch, even if 24 hours have not elapsed
- Once the order is shipped, cancellation is not possible
- If your order has been dispatched, an exchange is still available after delivery. See Section 1.
How to cancel
Contact support with your order ID and registered email or mobile number. Our team will verify the order status and confirm if it is eligible.
Important cancellation notes
- COD orders cannot be cancelled once dispatched

Partial refunds
If a returned item is incomplete, damaged due to customer handling, or missing its original packaging, Pearlica reserves the right to issue a partial refund after evaluation. The final amount will be communicated before processing.
Refund after RTO (return to origin)
If an order is returned to us due to an incorrect address, failed delivery attempts, or refusal to accept the parcel, the refund (if applicable) will be processed after deducting applicable shipping and handling charges.
