Have ordered a locket for myself for Mother's Day (ha!) last year and it is perfect. I ordered only a week or less before Mother's Day. It arrived in 3 days in time for Mother's Day - a super quick turnaround. The packaging makes it perfect for gifting. Quality has been fantastic and pricing is very reasonable for the quality.

Francesa’s Bakery is pure indulgence in the best possible way. Every visit feels like a celebration of what exceptional baking should be. The pastries are absolutely decadent—buttery, beautifully crafted, and bursting with flavor—and the bread is nothing short of outstanding: fresh, perfectly textured, and clearly made with care and skill. The… Read more
Yummy blueberry scones!!!
What truly elevates Francesa’s, though, is the people. The team is fantastic—warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. There’s an unmistakable sense of pride behind the counter, and it shows in every detail.
And then there’s Maria. Maria Lopez is an absolute treasure. Her kindness, energy, and dedication shine just as brightly as the bakery itself. She makes every customer feel like a regular and every visit feel special.
Francesa’s Bakery isn’t just a place to grab pastries or bread—it’s an experience, and one that keeps you coming back again and again.
Have been buying from Francesca for years and always loved the designs. Over the years the quality has unfortunately become poorer and poorer. I've had multiple chains break. Recently I was treated to a gold engraved piece on a adjustable chain which was beautiful on arrival. For starters the adjustable bobble is essentially useless, will not hold… Read more
just goes to longest length near instantly, annoying but whatever still a lovely piece. Then the colour wore off both chain and charm, making it near silver already, I expected some wear but for the price point you would think it would last more than a couple of months (christmas to start March). Now the charm has completely broken off the chain. Very disappointed to spent so much on a custom piece to be left with only a worn chain after a couple of months. Read through the warranty and will not cover any discolouration or wear only manufacturer faults. Will not cover loss, so considering charm was lost due to breakage doubtful of a replacement. Very disappointed such a great local company has gone so far downhill in quality. Also tried to review on website and does not seem to appear.

Don’t buy the silver bobble chain… Locket is beautiful though – Do not buy the silver bobble chain - I was so excited for my locket and the gorgeous look of this chain with it, however after a year and a bit my chain has become turning a little rosey colour - I have had it professionally clean and no change, after contacting the customer service team I was pretty much told it had to be some type of wear/tear… Read more
or my skin/lotion/perfume - I am extremely careful with this type of thing and after showing them it had been professionally cleaned their response was just for me to post it to them (at my cost, and return cost too) for a ‘proper assessment’ to decide if it was wear and tear or another reason… highly disappointed with this especially due to the price of the necklace all up… the locket though is perfect, has kept its colour and is stunning… I wish I could say the same about the chain…

Bad quality - won't last – Iam writing to give my dissatisfaction about your product. I purchased my first Francesca bracelet in November 2021. With my son's initials it was something sentimental to celebrate his birth. It lasted 6 months & broke. November 2023 I purchased 2 more. I loved the design & look of the bracelets. This time adding my daughter's initials. Well… Read more
one lasted 6 months. The other lasted 1 year.
3 in total - Fell apart.
They are not breaking due to damage they are literally falling off my wrist.
I've spent over $300 & have nothing to show for it.
This is incredible disappointing! I wanted these to last so I could show my children as they grew older.
What am I supposed to do with this pile of beads?
Positive reviews
I found the people in customer service actually care. Had a great experience with the customer service team who were so willing to help and acted so quickly. I love my locket, the quality is gorgeous. Show reply
Lovely earrings – Ive bought several sets of earrings from Francesca and always get compliments on them all! Good for the price. Love that they are hypoallergenic too so don’t have to worry about any nasties in them. Shipping is always pretty quick too.
Absolutely beautiful pieces, incredible customer service – Francesca is my go-to for my own jewellery and for gifts. I’ve genuinely lost count of how many pieces I’ve purchased over the years! Their earrings are the only earrings I’ve ever owned that don’t irritate my sensitive skin. I have a locket with my late brother’s picture in it which I carry close to my heart every single day. It’s given me so… Read more
much peace in such a hard time.
In terms of the quality, I couldn’t fault any of my pieces. When I had an issue with a broken clasp on one of my necklaces, the team quickly resolved it for me with no issues. Scratches on jewellery are a sign of wearing and loving the piece, so I don’t see that as a workmanship issue at all. I mean, even my pricey engagement ring has signs of love all over it Haha!
Wonderful Aussie company making beautiful jewellery with brilliant customer service!
Negative reviews
Definitely not with the money. My husband spent over $300 on a necklace and I think he assumed for that money it would be a good piece. Because he had it engraved we were unable to return it. It was too short to begin with, but that's on him for not properly checking. The clasp was almost impossible to use. I think I spent about 5 minutes… Read more
fiddling each time I went to put it in or take it off which of course meant I hardly ever wanted to use it. When I took it to a jeweler to see if I could get the chain extended he just said it’s costume jewelery so no. For that money I expect quality. Would never purchase again
Hi Ally, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review… Read more
I love their jewellery. I wear multiple items from them every single day. I’m glad that they exist. One thing I truly don’t understand is that they charge $2 for click and collect……. I’ve never seen it anywhere else. And why $2? For in-store pick up? Standard shipping is free. It is very strange that they charge for in-store pickup. This… Read more
makes me feel puzzled. And stops my fingers when trying to place an order.
It feels like they are trying to get as much as they can.
This is not a matter of $2. This is about their philosophy.
As a consumer, I do smell something unpleasant about this.
Update: Went to their Hobart store on Mother’s Day to buy an item in the afternoon. The staff might have been tired, but they were not interested in customers. Their attitude was like “I don’t care”. It was so sad to be treated like that. Of course I did not buy the item.
I’m going to take the stars away.

I have purchased from Francesca for many years and have never had a problem with their customer service and when something did go wrong with a piece of jewellery they always fixed it or replaced. On this occasion I wanted to have a bracelet restrung that had broken out of warranty and was happy to pay the usual $10 plus postage however I have been… Read more
advised that they now charge $30 plus postage to just restring the bracelet. A 200% increase in price. Together with postage it would now cost $50 to repair a $69 bracelet. Just very sad and disappointed that Francesca no longer seem to value their loyal customers and I would think that while they are charging $69 for an elastic beaded bracelet which is inevitably going to break they would charge a reasonable fee to repair it when this happens. Just one very disappointed ex customer.

Colour doesn't last – Bought the gold cuff bracelet for my daughters 21st - the colour has not lasted/changed. The gold wore off. When I wrote to them they advised that if she wore it in water (she works in childcare so she has to wash her hands all the time - and of course with soap) they wouldn't do anything about it. Wouldn't waist my money - there are other… Read more

Not the best review – Unfortunately I too have had a similar experience to some of these other reviews. Purchased a locket and necklace on Mother’s Day. Took over two weeks to arrive for it to arrive damaged. I opened it in the car after collecting it from the post office and I was left in tears wondering how a business could charge so much for jewellery and it be… Read more
cheap, very poorly put together pieces. I was then offered to be sent a replacement locket and keep the original damaged one only for it to have come with the pictures not fitting on the inside all the way and the clasps being poorly glued on. The front of the pendant from the looks of both of them come pre scratched so obviously whomever their supplier is it’s just cheap and nasty.
I have now been offered no ramifications aside from loosing the jewellery altogether to which they then will determine ‘IF’ I qualify for a refund so that doesn’t sound promising at all. At risk of no item and no funds returned.
I would say overly my experience has been poor and my expectations were high. The social media and the marketing they get influencers to do seems to work because they get the sales but the people that do spend deep into their pockets are sorely wishing they didn’t.
I personally won’t buy or recommend as these are not bespoke high quality pieces like they’re labelled.

Wouldn’t waste your money – Very unsatisfied with the customer service as well as the locket I received. I bought a locket for Mother’s Day. I even messaged in the chat before purchasing asking if the photos were secured so they wouldn’t fall out. I was told yes!! Not even a week of having the locket and wearing it 2 times, the pictures have fallen out. I spent $250 on this… Read more
locket and now I’m told they won’t fix the issue. It wasn’t even a week old.
Don’t waste your money on their products especially when they aren’t willing to assist with issues that come up within 7 days of receiving items

Sad & Disappointed – My necklace arrived on the 25th Jan. Packaged beautifully but that's were the happiness ends. I have short hair, wore a v neck tshirt and the necklace for approx 5 hours yesterday 26th Jan. Nothing touched it other than resting against my clean skin. This is one day after it arrived in the post, less than 24 hours. The entire front and back are… Read more
scratched. I don't wear perfume for health reasons so there was nothing touching the necklace. The pictures attached show the scratches on both sides. It's sad bc I purchased this to replace a broken family piece and now regret the purchase. There is no return on etchings. The quality is shocking. I am posting this review purely so someone else doesn't make the same mistake and purchase for themselves or worse as a gift for a loved one, particularly as valentines is approaching. How upset would you feel if this happened to you. Especially as a gift, Id be so embarrassed by the quality...or should I say, lack of. Quality is so important when your spending your hard earned money! Its not just about the money here either. I can write it off as a loss, a mistake, bad purchase but sadly not everyone can afford that way of thinking especially these days. Its a lesson learnt, always read reviews first, positive and negative, they are their for a reason. On a side note, I believe if your selling such intimate pieces then you should be accountable for what you sell. Francesca please be more concious of your customers needs bc you can't undo bad workmanship! Just because something looks good...doesnt mean its good, its the quality overall that counts. End of the day, that's what sticks with the consumer.

Outstanding customer service – I was gifted a beautiful pendant that I love but I had a little mishap with it. The issue was solved so quickly and without fuss, that I’m actually gobsmacked! Thank you ‘Shari’ for sorting it out. Will definitely be purchasing from you in the future because of this experience. Show details
Lovely necklace, it so great quality – I received a locket necklace from my family and it was beautiful. Unfortunately the clasp on the locket broke just outside of the 3 month warranty (yep only a 3 month warranty even with the high price tag!) I really love the locket and how they added the photo inside so it’s a perfect fit, but it constantly opens up and hangs down when wearing it now. If I get a new locket it will be from elsewhere.

Long lasting waterproof jewellery! – I own so many of the silver and gold pieces and I never take them off. They never tarnish or lose colour and are so durable. I love Francesca. The designs are great and updated regularly and make the perfect gift for someone when you’re not sure what to buy. Love Francesca! Loyal customer here.
Avoid at all costs! Business with no morals or ethics! – I ordered some earrings online, I used coupert to generate a code, the code was accepted the discount applied and I paid for my order. The order was cancelled because they didn't like the code that was used (even though it was valid and accepted on their site) *My order was $68.99 - this was deducted from my acccount. *the next day $4.99 was… Read more
deducted from my account - this transaction was not authorised by me - no receipt provided - no reason given this moeny was taken! *the next day $4.99 was refunded
my main order of $68.99 has not been refunded and even with all the evidence from the bank they are refusing to admit that 1. more money was taken out - clear receipts from bank were provided 2. that they haven't refunded my money
They also want to only refund $64.
So they cancelled a valid order because they didnt like the code being used.
Took extra money from my account, with no explanation.
And won't refund my purchase, which they cancelled!
With business processes like this they won't be around long! The jewellery isn't worth the hassle of dealing with people who have no idea how to run a business - take your money elsewhere!

Prefect Jewellery! – Extensive range of excellent quality jewellery. I have customised jewellery pieces before and its always been perfect. Products are affordable. Show details
Absolutely love Francesca – I love that you can mix and match individual pieces. They go with every outfit whether it is a casual style or going out for dinner. The designs are beautiful and timeless. Show details
Good but has its down falls – Francesca is an all round great business, it has a wide range of products, with different designs and colours, but its down fall is the quality. Some pieces I have never had an issue with, and others have broken, fallen apart or stretched. Although this is somewhat normal, when trying to get a replacement it’s only a 3 month warranty, which… Read more
usually breaks after the 3 months. You have to cover the cost at your own expenses. It’s not cheap, so you would hope it would have a longer period for warranty or higher quality for the price. It is very hit and miss regarding the quality. The staff are always friendly and great, but for the price the quality should be more sturdy and have a higher quality.
Great company, love everything!! – Francesca jewellery is amazing, truly lovely pieces to suit everyone. Everything is of great quality, great prices and the jewellery you will wear over and over again. Customer service I cannot fault, always obliging for the silliest question to an issue I had recently, but nothing was too much trouble, the problem was fixed immediately with an exchange , They have an excellent loyalty rewards program and the only problem is I keep buying.

So pretty and petite – The bobble necklace is so beautiful. The only negative I find with Francesca necklaces is that the clasps are very small. I love the designs and the business model of this company. Show details
Variety and quality – I have been purchasing from Francesca for a few years now and am never disappointed with the pieces I receive. The craftsmanship and quality are spot on stunning. I’ve found the clasps on bracelets to be a little fiddly and the huggies earrings too tight for my lobes. But, I continue to find new pieces to love and I will continue to purchase as… Read more

current collection. I have purchased many pieces as gifts which have always been well loved by friend and family.

Highly recommend Francesca Jewellery! You won’t regret your purchase.
