We’re happy to offer free shipping on all orders worldwide! If we ship to your country, there are no additional shipping costs to enjoy our products.
Please note, however, that orders may be subject to customs or import duties and taxes when they reach your country. Any additional charges are the customer’s responsibility, so we recommend checking with your local customs office.
Orders are typically delivered within 5 to 6 business days. Once your package is on its way, we’ll email you a tracking link so you can follow its journey to your doorstep.
Yes! You’ll receive a tracking number by email once your order has shipped from our fulfillment center in Singapore. You can use this number to track your shipment and stay updated on delivery. If you need any assistance, feel free to contact our customer service team at info@catastrophy.com or through the chat widget on our website.
For international shipments, we rely on FedEx to ensure reliable and efficient delivery worldwide. For local deliveries within Singapore, our trusted local partners handle shipments with care and efficiency.
If you have any questions or special shipping requests, feel free to reach out to our customer service team at info@catastrophy.com or through the chat widget on our website.
We rely on the shipping address provided at checkout, so it’s important to double-check your details before finalising your order to ensure it arrives safely.
Once an order is placed, address changes can be tricky to process and aren’t guaranteed. If you need to update your address, please reach out immediately with your order number at info@catastrophy.com, through our contact page, or via the chat widget on our website. We’re here to help during Singapore business hours, Monday to Friday, 10 am–6 pm SGT (except national holidays).
Orders typically ship within 1-2 business days, sometimes even sooner! If an address change is requested after dispatch, please note there will be a surcharge of SGD 20 for any address updates.
If the package is already on its way or has reached your country, we may not be able to make changes, and additional costs for retrieving, returning, or redelivering the package may apply, which would be the customer’s responsibility.
To help us get your order to you as smoothly as possible, we recommend double-checking your address before confirming your order. Thank you for helping us ensure a swift, successful delivery!
We are committed to ensuring your jewellery arrives in perfect condition. If your package is lost or damaged during shipping, please contact our customer service team at info@catastrophy.com or via the chat widget on our website. We’ll guide you through the process of resolving the issue, including sending a replacement or returning the damaged item.
Unfortunately, we do not ship to P.O. boxes or APO/FPO addresses. All orders are shipped via FedEx to ensure secure and timely delivery, and a physical address is required for accurate delivery.
Signatures are not typically required upon delivery. FedEx will reattempt the delivery of the package. If the delivery attempt fails, package may be left at the nearest FedEx facility for recipient to collect the package. High valued packages will typically not be left at the doorstep/unattended.If recipient remains uncontactable or uncooperative, package may be returned back to Singapore at your (shipper's) cost.
When your order arrives in your country, it might be subject to customs duties, import taxes, or other charges based on local regulations. These fees are set by your country’s customs authorities, and while we’d love to make it easier, we aren’t able to predict the amount or whether they’ll apply.
If these fees do apply, FedEx will reach out to you directly, and you can settle the payment with them to complete the delivery process.
To avoid surprises, we recommend checking with your local customs office to understand any potential charges before placing your order.
Refused/Unclaimed Packages: If a package is refused or goes unclaimed, any return fees (duties, taxes, or shipping costs) will be deducted from your refund. We appreciate your understanding and encourage reaching out to us if you have any concerns.
If you've received the wrong item, we’ll cover all costs associated with sending you the correct item and returning the incorrect one. Please contact our customer service team at info@catastrophy.com or use the chat widget on our website for assistance.
If you're not home when FedEx attempts to deliver your package, they usually make up to three delivery attempts. If those are unsuccessful, your package may be held at the nearest FedEx facility for pickup. Please note that if you're unable to collect your package, it may be returned to Singapore, and the return shipping fee will be deducted from your refund.
Unfortunately, we don’t have the ability to calculate or prepay local taxes and duties for international shipments. We would suggest having the item shipped to your address first, handling any applicable taxes, and then forwarding it to your friend. Apologies for the inconvenience.

About Our Products
Our jewellery pieces are carefully crafted from recycled 925 sterling silver. Some designs also feature onyx, white topaz, or white quartz stones, adding unique touches to each piece.
Our jewellery is crafted from high-purity recycled silver, which is refined to 99.99% pure silver before being alloyed. The final alloy consists of approximately 93% silver, 4.8% copper, and 2.1% zinc, with trace amounts of indium. While sterling silver is generally well-tolerated, those with copper sensitivities may experience reactions. If you have specific allergies, we recommend consulting with a professional or testing before prolonged wear.
Our products are proudly Vegan Certified by The Vegan Society—the very organisation that coined the term "vegan" in 1944. At Catastrophy, we’re honoured to be the first jewellery of our kind to earn this certification, affirming our commitment to ethical, cruelty-free craftsmanship.
Yes, our packaging is designed with vegan-friendly materials. At Catastrophy Jewelry, we’re committed to cruelty-free practices that respect animals and align with our brand’s ethical standards.
Although we’d love to, it’s not on the menu right now. Who knows what the future holds – stay tuned!
All gemstones used in our jewellery, including onyx, white topaz, and white quartz, are natural. These stones add a unique touch to each of our designs.
All of our jewelery is crafted with care in Bangkok, Thailand. We adhere to ethical practices, upholding fair trade standards and a strict no child labour policy in all our manufacturing processes. Additionally, we are proud to support a diverse workforce, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, ensuring equality and respect for all individuals involved in creating our unique pieces. This commitment helps us provide not only beautifully unique jewellery but also peace of mind for our customers who value ethical and inclusive practices.
Yes, we offer a 6-month warranty on all Catastrophy jewellery, covering manufacturing defects such as loose stones, broken clasps, or issues with soldering. This warranty does not cover damage caused by accidents, improper care, or normal wear and tear. If you experience any issues within 6 months of purchase, please contact us at info@catastrophy.com, through our contact page, or use the chat widget on our website and we’ll be happy to assist you with a repair or replacement.
Our rings are available in US sizes 5, 7, and 9. Here are a few tips to help you find the right fit:
- Thinner Bands: These tend to feel a bit looser. For example, a size 5 in a thin band may feel slightly more relaxed on your finger.
- Wider Bands: Wider bands feel tighter due to their design, even though they measure the same inner diameter. We recommend choosing a size larger than your usual for a comfortable fit.
- Open Bands: Open bands offer a flexible fit, easily adjusting over larger knuckles. We recommend choosing your regular size, as the open design allows it to comfortably conform to your finger.
For the most accurate fit, consider visiting a local jeweller to have your finger professionally measured.
We would love to offer engraving services to add a personal touch to your jewellery, but at this moment, we are unable to provide this option. Stay tuned, though—we are always exploring new ways to enhance your experience with our brand!

We accept most debit and credit cards, as well as PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay.

Shopify Payments also supports 3D Secure checkouts and employs encryption technology to protect your data during transactions.
