1. Choosing Products

When selecting products from our online store, you have the following options:

Check on the price. The prices are given in United States Dollars (US$). The price is displayed clearly in red next to each product available for sale. Additionally, there is a Currency Converter with live (in real time) rates, calculating the value of United States Dollars (US$ or USD) into any currency. You will see the following information (click on the Currency Converter below to calculate the price):

Price: US$420.00 | Currency Converter

NOTE: At the very end of your shopping, when you reach the payment point on our secure server, you will have an option to charge your credit card in 4 different currencies:

  - United States Dollar (US$)
  - British Pound (UKŁ)
  - Euro Currency (€)
  - South African Rand (ZAR)

Similarly to the Currency Converter, our payment point calculates exchange rates in real time.

Quantity of items. Certain items such as the Decorative Items or Jewellery can be supplied in bulk. Other items such as the Exclusive Collection are unique. Usually, you will see that there is only 1 (ONE) item available in stock - and only 1 (ONE) you can buy immediately. If you wish to buy more than one items of any kind, please contact us click here.

Size and weight. The product that you buy looks like on the picture on the page describing the item. Additionally, you can see its size and weight values. By default, we provide size in centimetres (cm) and weight in kilograms (kg), but you can convert them into metric values, i.e. centimetres into inches or feet, and kilograms into ounces or pounds. You can try the little exercise below - click on "Metric Converter":
