Shipping
All international orders have a $50 shipping fee. All orders will be shipped signature required (by the purchaser only) and 100% insured to guarantee against loss of item. We will ship anywhere allowed by law. Which includes, 99% of Europe, All of Australia, All of Canada, etc.. If you live in Africa please give us a call first. There are many places there we are not allowed to send to.
Purchasing
All international orders must be paid via bank wire transfer. No exceptions.
Returns
All international orders are subject to the same return policy as domestic orders with the exception that no returns will be accepted if you refuse to pay your country’s fees relating to customs.
Customs and Duties
Please remember each country requires the purchaser to pay tax and duty fees on the item they purchase overseas. This is out of our control. You will be required to pay this fee, by law, before your item can be delivered. We do not know the exact tax and duty fee of your country, however, a good general rule to follow is you can expect it to be anywhere between 5% and 10% of the agreed upon price.
Time to Ship
It’s impossible to set an exact time in which any overseas item will arrive, as each item will be held up in customs. For this reason we ask that you place your order giving you enough time for your item to clear customs and reach you. We usually require 10 working days to create and ship your ring. Once sent out, it could take another 3-10 days to get to you depending on your country’s customs department/policies. In other words, please give yourself at least 20 days.
Discounts
It’s our policy to give a 5% discount to anyone who pays via bankwire transfer. Even though we require all international orders to be paid by bankwire transfer you will still receive the 5% discount. Please keep this in mind when ordering. All international orders are given a 5% discount automatically.

Both Types Of Diamonds Can Be Equally Beautiful
Blooming Beauty Ring offers both lab grown and earth mined center diamonds. We are not here to push you toward either one. Our goal is to explain the honest advantages and disadvantages of each so you can choose the diamond that is best for you.
The first thing to understand is that both are real diamonds. Both can be equally beautiful, both will last forever, and nobody can tell which one she is wearing simply by looking at her ring.
Lab Grown Diamonds
- Cost substantially less than comparable earth mined diamonds.
- May allow you to choose a much larger diamond, a higher quality diamond, spend less money, or all of the above.
- Are created by people using specialized equipment over a period of days or weeks.
- Do not have the geological rarity of a natural diamond and generally have a weaker resale market.
Earth Mined Diamonds
- Were formed by Mother Nature deep within the Earth, usually billions of years ago.
- Offer natural rarity, ancient history and the tradition many people associate with diamond jewelry.
- Have a more established resale market.
- Cost substantially more, which means the same budget will usually buy a smaller diamond, lower quality grades or both.
Most diamonds of either type should not be considered a financial investment. The better choice is the one that fits your preferences, priorities and budget.
