Jewelry Care
Q: How should I care for my jewelry?
A: To ensure the longevity of your jewelry, we recommend the following:
- Remove your jewelry during activities such as working out, showering, or bathing.
- Avoid contact with lotions, hairspray, or chemicals like acetone.
- Clean the stones gently with a soft brush and warm, mild soapy water.
- Rinse the stones thoroughly with warm water to prevent soap residue.
- Pat your jewelry dry with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid using tissues to clean or dry your jewelry.
Engraving
Q: Do you offer engraving?
A: Yes, we provide complimentary engraving services. If you're interested in having your ring engraved, please contact us before your order is shipped. Once an order has been shipped, we cannot add engraving. We recommend making your engraving request either before purchase or soon after placing your order.
Express Shipping
Q: Does choosing express shipping expedite the order-making process?
A: Unfortunately, no. Opting for express or priority shipping relates solely to the shipping method used when we dispatch your package. It does not accelerate the crafting or resizing process of your order. If you need to expedite your order, please contact us to inquire about our rush order options.
Materials and Stones
Q: Do you exclusively make jewelry in 925 Silver, 10k, 14k, or 18k gold?
A: No, we now offer the option of casting our jewelry in platinum as well.
Q: Do you only use moissanite stones?
A: While most of our rings feature moissanite stones, we offer the flexibility to change the stones to various colored gems or upgrade them to different colors and shapes. We offer a wide range of gem options such as morganite, aquamarine, white sapphire, and more. To explore these alternatives, send us a direct message via messenger or email us with your inquiries.
Lab-Grown Diamonds
Q: Do you offer lab-grown diamonds?
A: Yes, we do provide lab-grown diamonds. You can browse our lab-grown diamond section throughout our website.
Q: How do lab-grown diamonds test, as diamonds or moissanite?
A: Lab-grown diamonds are created using two techniques, CVD and HPHT, both of which share the same chemical properties and physical appearance as natural diamonds. HPHT diamonds may occasionally test as moissanite in certain testing methods because testing technology has not been universally updated for effective detection. However, trusted laboratories such as IGI and GIA have the methods to accurately test and verify them. CVD diamonds typically test as diamonds on standard diamond testers and thermal testers.
Men's Rings and Bands
Q: Do you create men's rings and bands?
A: Yes, we do accommodate custom orders for men's rings and bands. Feel free to send us pictures and discuss your specific requirements.
Payment Plans
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: Yes, we provide payment plans that allow you to pay 25-50% at the time of order and settle the remaining balance when your jewelry is ready to be shipped.
Wholesale Options
Q: Do you offer wholesale services?
A: Yes, we do provide wholesale options. Whether you're starting a small business or seeking to purchase jewelry in bulk, please reach out to us directly via email or messenger for further details.
