How to cancel Jewelry Club and stop foreign currency charges in the philippines
What Jewelry Club is and how it works
Jewelry Club operates as a recurring subscription service that ships curated jewelry selections or membership discounts to your address each month. If you joined from the Philippines, you pay in USD through an international payment processor, meaning exchange rate markups and cross-border bank fees stack on top of the advertised price. Understanding what you signed up for is the first step toward cancelling with confidence-and Yafee specialises in helping consumers like you navigate exactly these situations.
The subscription model explained
Jewelry Club functions as a paid membership program where you commit to recurring monthly charges in exchange for curated jewelry pieces, member discounts, or exclusive product access. The service does not maintain a publicly listed office in the Philippines, no local telephone number, and no peso-based pricing structure. Consequently, cancelling requires extra care and written documentation on your part.
Multiple membership tiers exist at different price points, and your charge appears on your bank statement under the merchant name [email protected] or a related business identifier. Many consumers in the Philippines report confusion because the exact billing name can vary month to month, making it harder to track and dispute charges.
What you pay each month
The documented membership plans incur the following recurring costs in Philippine pesos (approximate conversions using ₱56 per USD 1):
| Plan name |
Monthly cost (USD) |
Approx. in PHP |
What you receive |
| Roselium starter |
$9.99 first month, then $19.99 |
₱559, then ₱1,119 |
Curated monthly jewelry piece |
| mintMONGOOSE |
$29.99 |
₱1,679 |
Monthly jewelry set with discounts |
| Roma Jewelry Club |
$49.99 |
₱2,799 |
Premium monthly selections |
| The Golden Gals Club |
$60.00 |
₱3,360 |
Exclusive curated pieces and priority access |
| Annual Savings Club |
$100.00 |
₱5,600 |
Yearly membership with bundled discounts |
Your actual charge is typically higher due to bank cross-border fees, currency conversion margins, and payment processor markups. These prices also do not include shipping fees, which Jewelry Club may charge separately depending on your membership tier.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) protects your right to cancel subscription services, even those operated by foreign companies. Understanding these rights empowers you to stand firm if Jewelry Club refuses to process your cancellation or continues billing after you submit a cancellation request.
What the consumer act of the philippines says about cancellations
Under Republic Act No. 7394, you hold the right to cancel any subscription or membership agreement, particularly if the company fails to clearly disclose billing dates, termination procedures, or other material terms. Since Jewelry Club does not maintain a visible Philippines office or a formal cancellation policy on its public website, the burden of proof rests on the company to demonstrate that you knowingly and voluntarily agreed to their terms.
The law also entitles you to a refund if the service is not delivered as described, or if charges continue after you submit a valid cancellation request. If Jewelry Club continues to bill you after you cancel, that constitutes unauthorized billing under Philippine consumer law-a violation the company must remedy within 14 days of notice.
Your legal position
You are protected under Section 19 of Republic Act No. 7394, which prohibits unfair or deceptive sales practices. Jewelry Club must honour your cancellation request within 5 business days of receipt. If the company refuses to stop billing, or if your bank statement shows charges after your cancellation email, you can file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group, which investigates violations and compels refunds. Yafee recommends documenting every communication with Jewelry Club-save email confirmations, screenshots of charges, and records of your cancellation request. This evidence is crucial if escalation becomes necessary.
Methods to cancel Jewelry Club
Jewelry Club offers one primary cancellation method: email correspondence with their support team. Since the company operates from the United States and does not publish a Philippines-based contact channel, email remains your documented, traceable route to cancellation.
Email cancellation (the only published method)
Jewelry Club processes cancellations via email at [email protected]. This method creates a written record-essential protection under Philippine consumer law. You must send a formal cancellation message that clearly states your request and includes your account details.
Send your cancellation email from the address registered to your account. Do not use a different email or ask a family member to cancel on your behalf; the company may refuse to process the request if the sender name does not match account records. Yafee advises sending your message during business hours (US Eastern Time, Monday to Friday) to maximize the chance of a same-day receipt confirmation.
How to cancel Jewelry Club step by step
Follow these precise steps to ensure your cancellation is processed without delay and properly documented for your records.
Step 1: gather your account information
- Locate your most recent Jewelry Club charge on your bank or credit card statement. Write down the exact transaction date and amount (in both USD and PHP).
- Find your account email address-the one you used when you signed up for the membership.
- Note your full name and any customer or order reference number from past Jewelry Club emails or receipts.
- Take a screenshot of your membership page (if you can access it) or any confirmation email showing your plan name and start date.
Step 2: compose your cancellation email
- Open your email client and create a new message to [email protected].
- Use the subject line: "Membership Cancellation Request - [Your Full Name]"
- In the body, write a clear, formal message. Include:
- Your full name (as it appears on your account)
- The email address registered to your Jewelry Club account
- Your membership plan name (e.g., "Roma Jewelry Club" or "Annual Savings Club")
- The date you joined (or approximate month and year)
- A single, direct sentence: "I request immediate cancellation of my Jewelry Club membership, effective today. Please confirm receipt of this cancellation request and provide a cancellation confirmation number."
- Do not explain reasons for cancellation; keep the message concise and factual. Emotional arguments weaken your legal position.
- Sign off professionally: "Regards," or "Thank you,"
Step 3: send and document your email
- Send the email from your registered account email address. Do not use BCC or forward through a different account.
- Immediately after sending, take a screenshot of the sent message in your "Sent" folder, showing the timestamp, recipient email ([email protected]), and your cancellation text.
- Save this screenshot as a PDF file with the naming convention: "Jewelry_Club_Cancellation_[Date].pdf" (e.g., "Jewelry_Club_Cancellation_15_January_2025.pdf").
- File this PDF in a dedicated folder on your computer or cloud storage for future reference.
Step 4: wait for and monitor the response
- Jewelry Club typically responds within 48 hours to 5 business days. Check your inbox (and spam/promotions folders) regularly.
- When you receive a response email, screenshot it and save it with the same naming convention: "Jewelry_Club_Cancellation_Confirmation_[Date].pdf"
- The confirmation email should include:
- Explicit statement: "Your membership has been cancelled"
- Cancellation date or effective date
- A confirmation or reference number
- Assurance that no further charges will be applied
- If the response is vague or does not confirm cancellation, reply immediately with: "Thank you for your response. Please confirm in writing that my membership is cancelled as of [date] and that no charges will be applied after this date."
Step 5: verify that charges have stopped
- Check your bank statement or credit card online portal 5 to 7 days after receiving your cancellation confirmation.
- Confirm that no new charge from [email protected] appears in your pending or posted transactions.
- If a charge appears after you cancelled, take a screenshot immediately and proceed to the "After Cancellation" section below.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is finalized, but your work is not finished. Monitor your account and take action if unauthorized charges appear.
Timeline for refunds and final charges
After you cancel, Jewelry Club should not apply any new charges to your account. Your cancellation is effective on the date the company acknowledges it via email. However, if you cancelled mid-cycle-for example, on the 15th of the month after already paying on the 1st-you may not receive a refund for the current month's charge. This depends on Jewelry Club's policy, which you should clarify in your cancellation confirmation email by adding: "Please confirm whether any prorated refund applies to [current month]."
Refunds, if applicable, typically process within 7 to 14 business days and appear as credits on your original payment method (your credit card or bank account). If a refund does not appear within 21 days, contact your bank or credit card issuer and reference your cancellation confirmation email.
If charges continue after cancellation
- Do not ignore the charge. Contact your bank immediately and report the transaction as unauthorized billing.
- Provide your bank with a copy of your cancellation confirmation email from Jewelry Club.
- File a dispute or chargeback claim through your bank's online portal or customer service line. Your bank will investigate and reverse unauthorized charges within 10 to 30 days.
- Simultaneously, send Jewelry Club a follow-up email with the subject: "URGENT: Unauthorized Charge After Cancellation - Dispute Filed." Include your original cancellation confirmation number and state that you have filed a dispute with your bank.
- If more than 2 unauthorized charges appear, file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group. Yafee can guide you through the DTI complaint process if needed.
Avoiding common cancellation mistakes
You can cancel successfully on your first attempt if you avoid these pitfalls. Most cancellation failures stem from weak communication or incomplete documentation-both easily preventable.
Mistake 1: vague or emotional cancellation emails
Do not write: "I am unhappy with your service and want to cancel." Write instead: "I request cancellation of my membership, effective today."
Vague language gives Jewelry Club room to interpret your message as a complaint rather than a cancellation request. A company might respond with troubleshooting advice or a retention offer instead of processing your cancellation. Under Philippine consumer law, your intent to cancel must be unambiguous. Yafee recommends using the exact phrase "I request cancellation of my membership" in every email.
Mistake 2: cancelling through the wrong channel
Do not attempt to cancel via social media, phone calls (if you find a number), or third-party contact forms. These channels leave no documented record and the company can deny receiving your request.
Email to [email protected] is the only traceable, legally defensible method. If you cannot locate a current email address, search your original confirmation email from Jewelry Club for a support email. If none exists, use the support address provided in your billing statement or invoice.
Mistake 3: forgetting to document timestamps
Your bank statement alone is insufficient proof if a dispute arises. Screenshot and save every email you send to Jewelry Club and every response they send to you, including the exact date and time stamp. If you later need to file a DTI complaint or dispute an unauthorized charge, these screenshots prove you cancelled on a specific date and that the company acknowledged your request.
Mistake 4: cancelling from a different email address
Jewelry Club matches cancellation requests to accounts by comparing the sender email to the registered account email. If you email from a partner's address or a secondary email, the company may reject your request or claim they cannot find your account. Always send from your original registered email.
Refunds and chargebacks explained
Under Philippine law and international payment standards, you may be entitled to a refund if Jewelry Club continues to charge you after cancellation or if the service was not delivered as promised.
Refund eligibility and timelines
You qualify for a refund under Republic Act No. 7394 in these circumstances:
- Jewelry Club continues to bill you after you submitted a valid cancellation request and received confirmation.
- The service was not delivered as described (e.g., you received no jewelry item in a month, or the item value was significantly less than promised).
- You cancelled within the cooling-off period (if one applies to your country of purchase-typically 3 to 14 days for distance contracts).
If Jewelry Club owes you a refund, the company must process it within 14 business days of your written request. Refunds appear as credits to your original payment method (credit card or bank account) and may take an additional 5 to 10 business days to reflect due to your bank's processing time.
Chargeback as a last resort
If Jewelry Club refuses to issue a refund after you cancelled, contact your credit card issuer or bank and initiate a chargeback. A chargeback is a formal dispute that instructs your bank to reverse a charge and investigate the transaction as potentially fraudulent or unauthorized.
To file a chargeback, you will need:
- Your cancellation confirmation email from Jewelry Club (or proof that you requested cancellation).
- Screenshots of the unauthorized charge(s) on your statement.
- Any correspondence with Jewelry Club showing they refused to refund or stop charging you.
Your bank or credit card company will reverse the charge within 10 to 30 days and investigate Jewelry Club's response. In most cases, if your documentation is clear, the chargeback succeeds and you retain the refund. Yafee emphasizes that chargebacks should be your final step-always try email cancellation and direct refund requests first.
Comparing Jewelry Club to alternative jewelry services
If you are considering whether to cancel Jewelry Club, comparing it to other subscription options may clarify your decision. The table below contrasts Jewelry Club with three alternative jewelry subscription models available to consumers in the Philippines.
| Service |
Monthly cost |
Cancellation method |
Local presence |
Currency |
| Jewelry Club |
$9.99-$100.00 USD |
Email only |
None (USA-based) |
USD + conversion fees |
| Gemondo (UK-based) |
£9.99-£49.99 |
Email or online account |
None (EU-based) |
GBP + conversion fees |
| Rocksbox (USA-based) |
$17.99-$49.99 USD |
Email or app cancellation |
None (USA-based) |
USD + conversion fees |
| Local Manila jewelry dealers |
₱500-₱5,000 per purchase |
One-time purchase (no subscription) |
Yes (Metro Manila) |
PHP (no conversion fees) |
If you are paying international exchange markups every month and prefer local support, cancelling Jewelry Club in favour of purchasing directly from a Manila-based jeweller or gemstone retailer may reduce costs and eliminate currency risk.
Common reasons to cancel Jewelry Club
Understanding why you want to cancel clarifies whether cancellation is truly your best option or whether a temporary pause might serve you better.
High foreign exchange costs
Jewelry Club charges in USD, and your Philippine bank applies a conversion margin (typically 2-3% above the current exchange rate) plus cross-border fees (₱50-₱200 per transaction). Over a year, these markups can add ₱500-₱2,500 to your total cost. If cost is your primary concern, compare the true PHP amount (including fees) to local jewelry alternatives before deciding to stay.
Unwanted or low-quality pieces
Jewelry Club curates selections for you, but if you consistently dislike the monthly pieces or find their quality does not match your expectations, the service no longer delivers value. A subscription is only worthwhile if the curated experience meets your taste and budget.
Difficulty tracking and cancelling charges
If you enrolled expecting an easy cancellation process and discovered Jewelry Club does not publish a cancellation policy or phone line, frustration is justified. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions from overseas companies that deliberately obscure their cancellation procedures. Transparency matters, and your right to cancel matters more.

Escalation steps
- Send a second email with the subject line "FINAL CANCELLATION REQUEST - Escalation Required" repeating your cancellation request and referencing your original email date.
- If Jewelry Club does not respond within 5 business days, contact your bank or credit card issuer and file a dispute for "unauthorized billing" or "service not rendered after cancellation request."
- File a written complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group (phone: +63 2 8510 5330 or visit consumercare.dti.gov.ph). Include copies of all emails and your bank statement showing the unauthorized charges.
