How to cancel The Jewelry Club and stop recurring charges in singapore
What The Jewelry Club is and how the subscription works
The Jewelry Club is a subscription-based retailer that enrolls members into recurring VIP membership plans and delivers curated jewellery items to your address each month. Once enrolled, the company charges your payment method automatically on a fixed schedule, regardless of whether you open or use the items shipped to you. Understanding how this subscription operates is your first step toward cancelling it effectively.
The VIP membership structure
The Jewelry Club operates exclusively on a VIP membership model with no option to purchase items individually. Members receive monthly shipments of curated jewellery pieces, with automatic charges applied to their payment method. The reported monthly charge converts to approximately S$40.50 per month in Singapore Dollars (based on the commonly reported US $29.95 rate), though your actual charge may vary depending on exchange rates and your card issuer's conversion fees. Many members report being auto-enrolled without explicit, informed consent-a practice that triggers consumer protection legislation in Singapore.
Why cancellation is difficult with this company
The Jewelry Club deliberately omits a self-service cancellation portal, mobile app option, or online account management system. Instead, you must contact customer support directly by email, and many customers report that their cancellation requests are ignored or require multiple follow-ups before the membership actually terminates. At Yafee, we help consumers navigate precisely this type of barrier, and we provide step-by-step guidance below to ensure your cancellation sticks.
Your consumer rights in singapore under the law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (CPFTA) and the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) regulations protect you against unfair contract terms, automatic enrolment without consent, and misleading cancellation practices.
Statutory protections that apply to your subscription
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, The Jewelry Club cannot enforce hidden, unreasonable, or deliberately obscured cancellation terms. If the company fails to provide you with clear, accessible cancellation instructions at the point of sale or on their website, the contract term itself may be deemed unfair and unenforceable. Furthermore, if the company auto-enrolled you without explicit prior consent (a written or electronic record of your agreement), that enrolment breaches the CPFTA and gives you the right to cancel immediately without penalty. The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) exists as your statutory escalation route if The Jewelry Club ignores your cancellation request or continues charging after you cancel.
Your right to dispute and recover charges
If recurring charges continue after you have submitted a clear cancellation request, you have two legal remedies. First, you can contact your bank or card issuer and request a chargeback (reversal) of unauthorised charges. Second, you can lodge a formal complaint with CASE or the CCCS if the company refuses to stop charging. To succeed in either action, you must document every communication: save copies of every cancellation email you send, every response from customer support, and your bank statements showing the recurring charges. Yafee recommends retaining screenshots and saved emails for at least three months after your final cancellation confirmation, as this evidence is essential if you escalate to CASE or pursue a chargeback.

Understanding your actual charge
The Jewelry Club has not published an official Singapore Dollar price list. The estimate above converts the reported US $29.95 monthly rate using standard exchange rates, but your actual charge will depend on the real-time SGD/USD rate at the time of billing and any currency conversion fees applied by your card issuer. Check your most recent bank statement or credit card invoice to identify the exact SGD amount charged each month. This figure is critical: you will need to cite it in your cancellation email and in any dispute or chargeback request. If you notice charges continuing after cancellation, this precise amount will help your bank or CASE trace the unauthorised transactions.
Methods to cancel The Jewelry Club membership
You have one primary direct cancellation route and several escalation pathways if the company does not respond or comply within a reasonable timeframe.
Direct email cancellation
Email is the only documented channel through which The Jewelry Club accepts cancellation requests. The company operates no web-based account dashboard, mobile app, or automated phone line for cancellation. You must initiate your cancellation in writing and follow up if the company does not confirm termination within 5 to 7 business days.
Locating the correct customer support email address
Find the official customer support email on one of the following sources: your most recent order confirmation email, your last invoice or packing slip, The Jewelry Club's website footer or "Contact Us" page, or your bank statement (some retailers print contact details on statements). If you cannot locate an email address, request one by leaving a message through any contact form on their website. Once you have the email address, verify it by cross-referencing against at least one official source (such as the website) to ensure you are not sending sensitive account information to a fraudulent address.
Step-by-step cancellation process
Follow this procedure to cancel your membership and create a documented record of your request.
Step 1: gather your account information
- Locate your account number or member ID from a recent invoice, confirmation email, or bank statement. If you cannot find it, have your email address and the card you used to sign up ready.
- Note the exact SGD amount of your monthly recurring charge.
- Write down the date you enrolled and the date of your most recent charge.
Step 2: draft a clear cancellation email
- Open a new email to the customer support address you located above.
- Use the subject line: "Request to cancel VIP membership - [Your Account Number/Email Address]".
- Include the following in the body:
- Your full name and account number (or registered email address).
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my VIP membership effective today."
- The date you enrolled and the monthly charge amount (SGD).
- A request for written confirmation of cancellation within 5 business days.
- Your contact email and phone number.
- Do not apologise or provide lengthy reasons; keep the email brief, direct, and professional.
Step 3: send the email and save proof
- Send the email from your registered email account (the one linked to your Jewelry Club membership).
- Immediately save or screenshot the sent email, including the timestamp, recipient address, and full email body.
- Create a folder on your computer or cloud storage labelled "Jewelry Club Cancellation" and store all copies there.
Step 4: monitor for confirmation (5 to 7 business days)
- Check your email inbox and spam folder daily for a response from customer support.
- If you receive a confirmation email stating your membership is cancelled, save it immediately to your cancellation folder.
- If you do not hear back within 5 business days, proceed to Step 5 (follow-up).
Step 5: send a follow-up email if no response
- Draft a second email using the same subject line, prefixed with "FOLLOW-UP:".
- Reference your original request (include the date you sent it) and request confirmation within 48 hours.
- State: "If I do not receive written confirmation of cancellation by [date 2 days from now], I will escalate this to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) and request a chargeback through my bank."
- Send this email and save proof as before.
Step 6: monitor your bank statement for continued charges
- Check your bank account or credit card statement weekly for 4 weeks after your cancellation email.
- If no charge appears in weeks 2 and 3, your cancellation has likely succeeded.
- If a charge does appear, note the transaction ID, amount, date, and merchant name. This becomes evidence for a chargeback.
What to do if charges continue after cancellation
If The Jewelry Club continues charging your payment method after you have submitted a cancellation request, you have legal remedies and should act quickly to recover your money.
Contact your bank or card issuer immediately
- Call the customer service number on the back of your card or log into your online banking portal.
- Explain that you cancelled your subscription with The Jewelry Club but the company is continuing to charge you without authorisation.
- Request a chargeback (in Singapore, this is often called a "dispute" or "reversal") for all unauthorised charges.
- Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation email and the company's failure to respond or confirm. Yafee advises you to email these documents to your bank in advance of your call to ensure they are on file.
- Your bank will typically investigate within 10 to 20 business days and will reverse the unauthorised charge if the evidence supports your claim.
Escalate to CASE if the company does not comply
- Visit the CASE website (www.case.org.sg) and file a formal complaint.
- Attach copies of all your cancellation emails, the company's responses (or lack thereof), your bank statements showing the disputed charges, and your bank's chargeback decision (if you have already submitted one).
- CASE will contact The Jewelry Club on your behalf and demand evidence that your membership was cancelled or request a full refund of all charges after your cancellation date.
- CASE mediation is free and typically resolves complaints within 4 to 8 weeks.
Your legal position after sending a cancellation request
In Singapore, once you have submitted a clear, written cancellation request, the burden of proof shifts to The Jewelry Club to demonstrate that you agreed to continue your membership. If the company cannot produce a dated, explicit re-confirmation of your consent after your cancellation email, any charges after that date are legally presumed to be unauthorised. This presumption strongly favours you in a chargeback or CASE dispute. Furthermore, if the company auto-enrolled you without your prior written agreement, the entire subscription may be voidable, entitling you to a full refund of all charges since enrolment.
Refunds and what you can recover
Your right to a refund depends on the reason for cancellation and when you request it.
Refund eligibility
You are entitled to a full refund of all charges after your cancellation request date if The Jewelry Club continues to charge you without providing confirmation of cancellation. If you discover you were auto-enrolled without explicit consent, you may claim a refund of all charges from your enrolment date. If the company charged you for an item you rejected or never received, you have grounds to dispute that specific charge through your bank. However, if you cancelled within the same billing cycle in which you were charged, the company may retain the charge for that month (unless you can demonstrate you did not receive the item or were auto-enrolled without consent). Yafee recommends requesting a refund in writing as part of your cancellation email: "Upon cancellation, please process a refund of [amount] for [date range], as I no longer authorise any charges."
Timeline for refund processing
If The Jewelry Club agrees to refund you, the company typically processes refunds within 7 to 14 business days. The refund will be credited back to the original payment method (your debit or credit card). Check your bank statement 2 to 3 weeks after the refund is processed. If the refund does not appear, contact your bank and request a trace of the refund transaction.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Most cancellation failures occur because customers make easily preventable errors. Stay calm, stay documented, and stay direct-and you will succeed.
Mistake 1: cancelling through the wrong channel
Do not attempt to cancel through live chat, social media, or by leaving a message on the company's website. The Jewelry Club may not action these requests or may claim they never received them. Always use email so you have an undisputable timestamp and sent record. Forward your email to yourself immediately after sending to create a secondary proof copy.
Mistake 2: forgetting to save proof of your request
If you do not have a screenshot or saved copy of your cancellation email, The Jewelry Club will deny you ever sent it. Save your email before you even hit send. Screenshot the entire email (including timestamp and recipient address) and store it in a dedicated folder on your computer and in a cloud backup (Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox). This single step protects you in any future dispute.
Mistake 3: assuming silence means cancellation
Do not assume that if The Jewelry Club does not reply to your cancellation email, your membership has been cancelled. The company often ignores requests hoping you will forget or give up. Always wait for an explicit written confirmation from the company or monitor your bank statement for 4 weeks after sending your request. If charges continue, escalate immediately rather than waiting months.
Mistake 4: requesting cancellation without mentioning CASE or chargeback
Include a clear statement in your follow-up email that you will escalate to CASE and request a chargeback if the company does not confirm cancellation within 48 hours. This statement is not a threat; it is a factual reminder of your legal rights and often motivates a rapid response.
After cancellation: what happens next
Once your membership is cancelled, take these final steps to ensure the cancellation sticks and to protect yourself against future surprise charges.
Retain all proof for 6 months minimum
Keep your cancellation email, the company's confirmation, your bank statements for 3 months after cancellation, and any chargeback records in a safe folder. If a dispute arises later, you will have complete documentation to resolve it.
Set a calendar reminder to check your statement
For the first 4 weeks after cancellation, check your bank statement or credit card online every 5 to 7 days to ensure no new charges appear. If a charge does appear, you have 120 days from the transaction date to file a chargeback with your bank. Set a phone reminder for week 2 and week 4 after cancellation to verify no charges have been processed.
Proactively block recurring charges on your card (optional but recommended)
Some card issuers allow you to block recurring charges from specific merchants. Log into your online banking portal and search for "recurring transaction" or "subscription" settings. If your bank offers this feature, add The Jewelry Club to a blocked merchant list to prevent any future unauthorised charges, even if the company retains your payment details.
Comparison: when to cancel versus when to keep your membership
You may be uncertain whether cancellation is the right choice. This table outlines scenarios where cancellation makes clear financial and legal sense.
| Scenario |
Action |
Reasoning |
| You were auto-enrolled without explicit consent |
Cancel immediately |
Your enrolment is legally invalid under the CPFTA. You have the right to cancel without penalty and claim a refund of all charges. |
| You enrolled but have not opened the past 3 months of shipments |
Cancel |
You are paying S$40.50 monthly for items you do not want or use. Cancellation frees up that budget. |
| You actively enjoy the jewellery and open every shipment |
Keep (if happy) |
If you value the curated items and find them worth the cost, continuing your membership may make sense financially. |
| You forgot you were enrolled and only discovered charges recently |
Cancel |
This is a common reason for cancellation and strengthens your case for a refund of unwanted charges if you escalate to CASE. |
| You enrolled during a promotional trial period that has now ended |
Cancel before the trial ends |
If you do not wish to continue paying the regular rate, cancel before the promotion expires to avoid being locked into full-price charges. |
| You requested cancellation but the company refuses |
Escalate to CASE or file a chargeback |
The company has no legal right to refuse a valid cancellation request. Escalation will force compliance or result in a refund. |
Pre-cancellation checklist
Before you send your cancellation email, work through this checklist to ensure your request will be clear, complete, and legally sound.

- Send the email and immediately screenshot the sent message (including timestamp and recipient address).
