:: How does it work?

1) First consultation

Before placing an order, every customer gets a personal consultation with one of our designers on the phone or per Email. We will recommend you to go through our web gallery first, and to decide on roughly what you would like to have. It is much easier to design the design once you see some examples.

2) Agreement

Once you accept our offer, we will send you an invoice per Email and an appointment date.

3) Payment

We only accept advance payment per wire transfer or PayPal. We strongly recommend our customers to send in their object 2 days prior to the given appointment date.

4) Production (2 - 5 days)

The item will be assigned to a designer and it will be ready within 5 working days.

5) Shipping of your object

The customised item will be sent back to you per UPS, USPS depending on what service you choose (9 Euro in Germany, for other countries, please email us for a quote). You will also receive a black velour bag, spare crystals, special crystal adhesive and rosewood stick.

:: Can you do „express“ service?
We can return your crystallised item within 48 hours and it can be sent back to you by UPS Express. It carries 50% surcharge.
:: How can I decide the designs? Do you have any tips?

We always recommend you to visit our online gallery first. May be you will find a perfect design for you. There is no problem to make adjustments to existing designs. Please consider the following points before contacting us for more consultation.

  1. Colours
  2. Size of crystals
    • Our typical size is SS12 crystals (3.1mm). The next size most often chosen is SS9 (2.6mm). It is small enough to work on detailed motifs, and it also reflects a lot light. Our specialty is of course the customisation with SS7-SS5 crystals (1.8mm). With this size we can create very complex design. We even combine SS3 crystals to fill as much space as possible. We only recommend SS12 (3.1mm) crystals, if your object is large and flat. SS12 is not so suitable for round surface or corners. SS16 crystals, as seen often in online auctions, are only used on very large surface such as Xbox360.

  3. Design - Patterns
    • A design with one colour is an absolutely classic choice. However we thrive ourselves to create varieties – see our web gallery for examples. You see that anything is possible.

  4. Name & Initials
    • We can do it in various fonts, with or without hand painting work underneath.
:: How do you calculate the price?
The following affects the price: size of crystals, extent of hand-painting, exclusiveness of Swarovski crystals (this can make 10-30 Euro difference). If you want us to draft a new exclusive design, it will also cost extra.
:: Why should you choose Bling My Thing?

:: Do crystals last long?

Because of the recent update of our glue to an industrial grade, crystals do last for a very long time! Should you ever wish to remove the crystals, we advise you to change the cover completely because they would not come off. In case they fall off or break, you can either quickly repair them by yourself (you get a repair kit) or send it back to us for a repair. You have one year guarantee on our craftsmanship.

However, it is very important for you to treat the crystallised object with some respect! Avoid throwing it into a bag without any protection bag where it will be rubbed strongly against your keys or other hard objects! Carry them in a velour bag which came with your gadget at all time! This way you can enjoy it for almost ever!

:: Can I order a new phone & customization together?
Yes! We will do our best to find out the best price in the market. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to offer the lowest price in the market.

:: What are Swarovski crystals?
At Bling My Thing, we know that our clients expect the best. That's why we work exclusively with Swarovski 2028 Xilion Rose crystal – considered by those in the know to be the finest quality, full-lead crystal made today. Each crystal contains a minimum of 32%PbO, making it optically very pure. The crystals are also faceted with tremendous precision, creating beautiful prisms. Brilliant colours and/or coatings are added to these crystals to create pendants, stones and beads of dazzling beauty and tremendous variety. Swarovski Crystal is unmatched in quality and distinction.
